I was worried the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act wouldn’t be adhered to. It certainly wasn’t, as Wainscott Stone Road was dug up over the last several months with trees lining the streets with ribbons and signs around them, “Respect Our Trees.” Why not the eagles that have been within 600 feet of the road for years?
Eagles were flying all around the area throughout January and February. I was pleased a few weeks ago to see the mated pair still here. Back again.
I had hoped when I contacted all government entities involved with the wind farm project, this would bring about a bigger review. Especially a new review from Fish and Wildlife. Why not more environmental review? All I ever asked was to know where additional nests may be located.
Alas, that’s not the strong suit of most of the projects conducted in our area, and the Town of East Hampton elected officials needed the drop in the bucket initial payment.
Until next time, still here.

Time To FeastEvery year, I say I am going to do this. Finally, I’m going to say it before the madness begins. Christmas does not end on Christmas. It begins on Christmas. The period before is one of preparation, called Advent. It’s...
Grave DisserviceWe are very fortunate in Southampton Village to have many private organizations that support our community. It is unfortunate, then, that the village sometimes lags behind them, failing both the organizations and residents when it comes to partnering with them....
Emphasis NeededThis week’s Southampton Press comments were spot on, publishing two letters concerning our environment. One of the opinions addressed the sacrifices to our well-being that are made when overuse of water and chemicals to maintain a beautiful lawn overshadows the...
Protect Horseshoe CrabsGroup for the East End lends its voice to the inhabitants of our natural environment that cannot speak for themselves. Take the American horseshoe crab. These arthropods have survived five mass extinctions on planet Earth in their 450-million-year existence. That’s...
