SUMMARY:Young Birders Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Birding is a great way to make new friends\, learn about the environment\, and get outdoors. Join our Young Birders Club! The Club meets at 10AM on the third Saturday of every month and is open to anyone ages 8 to 18 who is interested in learning about birds. Since Long Island has many great habitats that are home to a wide variety of species\, we concentrate on birding in local areas. \nPlease bring binoculars if you have them (we will have a few pairs to lend) and a field guide to birds of the eastern United States. If you don’t have a field guide\, we’ll have one here for you to use. \nClub Leader: Aidan Perkins\, Wildlife Biologist \nThis FREE program is for children and adults ages 8-18. Advanced reservations are required for all events. \n  \n Sign Up Here!\n

SUMMARY:Lead-backed Salamander Search at Sagg Swamp\, Bridgehampton
DESCRIPTION:Join SOFO for a chance to learn about the secret life of the Eastern Lead-backed Salamander. Although this salamander species is one of the most abundant vertebrates in forest habitats throughout the Northeast\, they are rarely spotted on your average walk through the woods. These salamanders are fossorial\, spending most of their time underground. As we roll logs and stones searching for these fascinating critters\, we’ll learn about their life underground\, as well as their importance in forest ecosystems. Please dress for wet/muddy conditions. \nCo-sponsored by the SOFO Young Environmentalists Society (YES!). \nProgram Leader: Mike Wichrowski\, SOFO Herpetological Husbandry Technician \nThis program is for all ages. \nFor non-members\, there is a $15 fee for adults and a $10 fee for children for this program. This program fee will also provide non-members with free admission to the museum on a day of their choice. Members are free. Advanced reservations are required for all events. \n  \n Sign Up Here!\n

SUMMARY:East End Environment Series: Hidden in Plain Sight: Long Island’s Rare and Unusual Fish with Naturalist Aidan Perkins
DESCRIPTION:Join SOFO for light refreshments and a presentation with naturalist Aidan Perkins about his experience with Long Island’s rare and unusual fish. \nLong Island is home to an impressive array of fish species\, from the freshwater creeks to the expansive saltwater bays. While many species are native to the region\, there’s an intriguing phenomenon that adds a unique twist to the island’s aquatic ecosystem. The Gulf Stream\, a warm ocean current that flows from the Caribbean north along the Atlantic coast\, often carries tropical fish species into Long Island’s bays and inlets. These fish\, which typically inhabit Caribbean waters\, can be found unexpectedly in the waters around the island\, making them a rare and exciting discovery. In this talk\, I’ll dive into the science behind how these “tropical” fish make their way to Long Island\, as well as share my personal techniques for locating and catching them. \nThis FREE program is for adults\, teens\, and children ages 8+. Advanced reservations are required for all events. \nProgram Leader: Aidan Perkins\, Wildlife Biologist \n  \n Sign Up Here!\n
