SUMMARY:Birding with Frank─Celebrate World Shorebirds Day
DESCRIPTION:The Global Shorebird Counts\, held every year around World Shorebirds Day (6 September)\, is one of the key events of World Shorebirds Day. This program demonstrates the importance of fieldwork\, supports observers in improving counting skills\, contributes to the increase of the number of birdwatchers and scientists monitoring shorebirds worldwide\, and pledges new citizen scientists to the world’s largest bird database program. \nWhy count shorebirds?\nRegular counts carried out by thousands of volunteers and professionals worldwide can reveal distribution\, population trend\, or abundance of any species which is fundamental to the assessment of their status. Bird monitoring is a key tool to determine whether a population of a bird species is declining or increasing and/or needs coordinated conservation efforts or not. \nBring binoculars! It is recommended to bring a field guide to Birds of North America. \nBirding Leader: Frank Quevedo\, Executive Director\, South Fork Natural History Museum (SOFO) \nThis FREE program is for adults\, teens\, and children ages eight and older. \n  \nSign Up Here!

SUMMARY:Sunset Nature Tour of North Sea Harbor by Kayak– Bring Your Own Kayak or Paddle Board or Rent from East End Explorer
DESCRIPTION:On this sunset nature tour our paddle begins at the Conscience Point Historic Site in Southampton. We’ll launch vessels from the non-motorized ramp and paddle north around the point toward the Conscience Point Shellfish Hatchery. There we’ll take a moment to paddle near the floating oyster cages and sorting/tumbling barge. We’ll briefly discuss some of the benefits of shellfish farming as well as the basics of the aquaculture process. As we move further along\, we’ll enter Conscience Point National Wildlife Preserve. While there we’ll paddle through tidal creeks into Serenity Pond\, a beautiful tidal pond surrounded by nature preserve. We’ll then take five to ten minutes to practice a mindful meditation as we float in the pond. Following meditation\, we’ll continue back down the tidal creeks en route to one of the harbors accessible shorelines. Along the way we’ll keep an eye out for some of the local fauna that frequent the area; white tail deer\, turkeys\, red fox\, osprey\, and an array of other wildlife which are often spotted hunting and foraging in the back tidal creeks. Once we land on a suitable beach\, there will be an opportunity to stop for a snack\, stretch your legs\, or have a swim. From the shore we may pull seine nets\, catch crabs\, learn to dig for clams\, or take an exploratory beach walk\, depending on tidal conditions. Following our beachside explorations\, we’ll load the boats back into the water and paddle back to where we began\, the Conscience Point Historic Site. \nNature Tour leader: Eric Wurzburg\, East End Explorer \nPlease be sure to pack the following: Water\, clothes you can get wet\, a snack\, sunscreen\, bug spray\, a dry towel to leave in the car\, water shoes (optional)\, dry bag\, and a camera. \nThis program is for adults\, teens\, and children ages seven and older accompanied by an adult. \nKayak and paddleboard rentals are available from East End Explorer (https://eastendexplorer.com/).

SUMMARY:A Day in the Life of a SOFO Pond─A Pop-up Exhibit
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 have to get into 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. Join Crystal after she has collected pond water in a variety of containers\, leaving plenty of time for the mud to settle and creatures to start moving\, and help collect and identify the secret life in the pond using 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 has changed from a spring pond to a summer pond! \nProgram Leader: Crystal Possehl-Oakes\, SOFO Environmental Outdoor Specialist \nThis program is for all ages. \nFor nonmembers\, 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  \nSign Up Here!

SUMMARY:A Day in the Life of a SOFO Pond─A Pop-up Exhibit
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 have to get into 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. Join Crystal after she has collected pond water in a variety of containers\, leaving plenty of time for the mud to settle and creatures to start moving\, and help collect and identify the secret life in the pond using 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 has changed from a spring pond to a summer pond! \nProgram Leader: Crystal Possehl-Oakes\, SOFO Environmental Outdoor Specialist \nThis program is for all ages. \nFor nonmembers\, there is a $15 fee for Adults and $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  \nSign Up Here!
