		<description><![CDATA[On May 23rd at approximately 9:30 PM, five fearless, rain-soaked GFEE volunteers walked a Southold beach counting and tagging spawning horseshoe crabs.  The volunteers were participating in a unique citizen science project with Cornell University Cooperative Extension (CCE), collecting crucial biological information on this ‘living fossil.’  Recent decades have shown a sharp decline in horseshoe… <a class="more" href="http://www.groupfortheeastend.org/education/164505/">Read&#160;more&#160;></a>]]></description>

As big as a pickup truck, maybe more massive, it most likely was the first large boulder on Long Island that caught my youthful attention.

The whole family enjoys watching their antics, and… <a class="more" href="http://www.groupfortheeastend.org/education/baffled-by-a-squirrel/">Read&#160;more&#160;></a>]]></description>

Yet these little feather balls pack a whole lot of activity, personality, brazen curiosity and toughness into their tiny frames. They are sociable and hardy members of the family of songbirds known as Parids (Chickadees &#38; Titmice).

Then there’s the fungus, Scorias spongiosa, (common name, sooty mold) which feeds on the excrement (referred to as “honeydew”, no… <a class="more" href="http://www.groupfortheeastend.org/education/strange-but-true-dancing-aphids-and-honeydew-feasts/">Read&#160;more&#160;></a>]]></description>
