  2. LI coyote sightings prompt warning and instructions from officials. Coyotes, spiders, what's next on Long Island? After numerous coyote sightings in and around Long Island (including our area), officials have warnings for the public. "In an interview with Patch, a spokesperson for the Town of Oyster Bay could not exactly say how many coyotes have been spotted recently across Long Island but explained there has been a handful of eyewitness accounts." She also said these sightings should not be cause for panic and that the warning from officials is more of a precautionary measure.

  3. Vanderbilt Museum presents 'Foraging with the 'Wildman' on Sunday. Looking for something to do this weekend after the storm Saturday? Head to Vanderbilt Museum to check out to hang with author Steve 'Wildman' Brill and his daughter Violet as you will forage for wild foods. “The Vanderbilt Museum grounds — with cultivated areas, fields, thickets, and woods — is a bonanza for wild foods in late winter,” Brill said. “And everything the group will be finding is renewable.” The event starts at 1 p.m. (TBR News Media)
