Fauna-thon Beats 15-yr Average
 Group for the East End's Fauna-thon took place on May 22nd and the final tally (222 species) was just above the 15-year average (217 species). From pre-dawn to post-dusk, teams of naturalists scoured the
five East End Towns looking for as many species of amphibians, birds,
butterflies, dragonflies, mammals, and reptiles as they could find.

East Hampton is now planning a similar ploy with the sale of public lands, like Fort Pond House in Montauk, with no public input.
