Seagulls Flock To Port Jefferson

Ever since the last big storm, the nor'easter that pelted the beach, wrecking bathing facilities, seagulls flocked to Port Jefferson. At least that was true the last time we visited the beach, one week since the nor'easter.

Lily The Black Bear & Hope

It's been exactly one month since I wrote the first article about Lily the Black Bear. A webcam and a microphone had been placed in Lily the Bear's den and we all watched and waited until she finally gave birth to one cub. Many things have happened since that time.

Huge Number of Waterfowl Being Spotted (Long Island Sound, NY)

We spotted these sanderlings out towards Port Jefferson Harbor, west of the big rock. And below we spotted a Brant flock spread out between Belle Terre and Port Jefferson's East Beach.
