The Status of Otters in the Peconic Estuary: results of 2024-2025 river otter survey by Mike Bottini

Registration is require, please register here.

Join us at the Roy Latham Nature Center for a presentation on river otters in the Peconic Estuary watershed. Mike will share highlights from a recently completed survey that mapped the current distribution of otters in the region. He will also discuss conservation efforts to address what appears to be the leading cause of otter mortality on Long Island: collisions with motor vehicles. The presentation will conclude with time for questions and discussion.

At 11:00 AM, we will carpool to visit some otters sites the area with the goal of seeing otter “sign,” not the elusive creature itself.

Beginner Birder with Tom Damiani

Registration is required, please register here.

Are you curious about bird watching, but don’t know the first thing about how to do it? Or have you ever been on a birding field trip and said to yourself “this stuff is for the birds,” meaning I’m not seeing what everybody else is seeing! Or maybe you’re thinking “I can’t see anything through these binoculars,” etc.

Well, now you can join Tom Damiani on “small group” field trips with a focus on effectively using binoculars, finding birds using them, and finding the best habitats for birds.

These outings will be held on the first Wednesday of each month, at Wolf Preserve from 8 - 10am.
