SUMMARY:Black Racer Snake Search with Andy Sabin
DESCRIPTION:Andy Sabin\, known to us as the “Salamander Commander\,” is equally as interested in snakes as he is in salamanders. In fact\, Andy is fascinated by all kinds of reptiles and amphibians\, so he is just the right person to lead us on a search for the Northern black racer snake (Coluber constrictor). What’s more\, we’re in luck— the field behind SOFO\, known as Vineyard Field\, is the perfect habitat for this very active\, diurnal (it comes out during the day) reptile. To ensure we can find them\, we’ve put boards out in the field which these snakes like to hide under. So\, we’re very likely to see some snakes on our search with Andy. \nWalk Leader: Andy Sabin\, President\, SOFO Board of Directors \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:Horseshoe Crab Tagging with Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE)
DESCRIPTION:From mid-May to June\, thousands of horseshoe crabs have gathered at Long Island’s bay beaches. It’s an incredible sight to see- made more so in the light of the full moon. The horseshoe crabs are there to bury their eggs in the sand; their eggs provide food for seabirds to fuel themselves on their long spring migration journeys north along the East coast of North America. The use of horseshoe crabs by humans for fishing bait and the harvesting of their blood for use in testing human medicines has an impact on the horseshoe crab population numbers. Data needs to be collected to document and assess the status of horseshoe crabs in our waters. You can help! Join SOFO and Cornell to assist in collecting information for this study while you witness one of nature’s most amazing annual wildlife events. \nProgram Leader: Survey Site Coordinators for Pike’s Beach\, Westhampton and Sydney Mantione\, SOFO Environmental Educator \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:Pop Up Pond Workshop
DESCRIPTION:When we stand at the edge of a pond\, we tend to notice the larger animals like frogs\, turtles\, and birds. But why do those animals choose to live at or visit the pond? We would need to get in the water to see the multitude of smaller animals that keep a pond healthy\, but mud would be easily stirred up by a diver or ROV. \nJoin Crystal after she has collected pond water in a variety of containers\, with plenty of time for mud to settle and creatures to start moving and help collect and identify the secret life in the pond with a variety of magnifiers and microscopes. This pop-up exhibit will be held the first Sunday of the month\, April through September\, so stop by to see how pond life changes through spring and summer! \nProgram Leader: Crystal Possehl-Oakes\, SOFO Environmental Outdoor Education Specialist \nThis FREE program is for all ages. Advanced reservations are required for all events. \n  \n Sign Up Here!\n
