Welcome new followers.

Look, it’s a tough job around here. 40 hours a week, few perks—but it’s all about spreading the message.

As a local journalist on the East End of Long Island, I both fear and welcome the idea of the North Fork invading the South Fork, or vice versa. Shelter Island would be super important.

#AI implications for birding: not as serious as misinformation, but it’s having impacts on the pastime. My take & growing unease with this new birding companion.

On the Wing: In Birding, Not Knowing Is Okay | The East Hampton Star
Once upon a time, birders might arm themselves with a simple pad and pencil before they tromped off into the woods. When birding, you could touch the sacred, experience wonder, get lost on a loop trai...

Only good thing about daylight savings time is that I feel like a hero for waking up so early.

Remember what hell life was before all the Little Free Libraries started popping up everywhere?

I know there are serious issues in our world, but let this serve as a warning that not all cherry tomatoes are innocent.

I just popped one in my mouth, looked and felt normal.

Absolute nightmare.

I won’t be the same again.
