By David Taylor
There’s so much to do and see on the East End this week, with several fun, exciting events on offer. This week’s top live events include a psychic dinner, a hike through the Promised Land and more!
NYSOA Winter Waterfowl Count
Saturday, January 16.
At one time, a great variety of waterfowl wintered on Long Island, but now, due to habitat loss, food scarcity and the introduction of nonnative species of water birds, the local wintering population of waterfowl is slowly diminishing. To assess this situation and record the number of overwintering waterfowl, the New York State Ornithological Association sponsors an annual waterfowl count throughout the state, which the South Fork Natural History Museum invited intermediate birders to take part in. 377 Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike, Bridgehampton. 631-537-9735, sofo.org
Promised Land Hike
Saturday, January 16, 10 a.m.
Enjoy hiking in undeveloped Napeague State Park, through the site of the former Smith Meal Fish Factory and along a stretch of Gardiners Bay known as the Promised Land. Meet the East Hampton Trails Preservation Society in the parking lot at the intersection of Cranberry Hole and Napeague Meadow Roads. Napeague. 914-227-6193, ehtps.org
