Volunteers are helping Long Island fishery biologists search for alewives returning to Long Island's streams and rivers for their annual spawning migration (April-May). These efforts are important to help inform restoration efforts for alewife, a native species of river herring that is important to the Island's coastal ecosystems. The survey runs through May 30th. Let us know if you're interested in joining the effort.

Seatuck Birding Team
Seatuck staff and volunteers put their birding skills to the test this holiday season as they took part in the Audubon Christmas Bird Count for the first time (see bird list below). Although the original intention was only to include the Scully property in the annual survey, a series of events led to Seatuck being responsible for surveying four other properties, including the Bayard-Cutting Arboretum, the South Shore Nature Center, the East Islip Marina and the Seatuck National Wildlife Refuge.

New Logo, New Look
Do you notice anything different? We hope so. Early last fall, with plans for the nature center at Scully seemingly on track, Seatuck launched an effort to redesign its logo, stationery, newsletter, Web site and other publications. The goal was to create a fresher, more up-to-date and professional look as we prepared to spread the word about the organization and the undertaking at Scully. People in the business call the process "corporate re-branding."
