Welcome to my refurbished web page. If you are looking for information about the moths and/or birds of eastern Long Island, NY, or are looking for materials for one of my courses, you have found the right place! You can use the navigation buttons at the top of the page to jump to any section of the website, and once there you can return to this page by hitting the Home tab.
This web page is currently under construction, and its renovation will take several months to complete. Here’s what I have planned.
East End Birds: The current issue of East End Birds will be displayed as it is published. I am hoping to have a complete archive of East End Birds on-line and I am exploring ways to have the archive be searchable. In addition I am planning on having a photo gallery for each year’s rarities. If you have a photo of a rare bird that has occurred on the East End, I would love to give it home on this page. And finally the East End Year List will be also be posted on this page.
Long Island Moths: My professional research involves monitoring moth populations in various habitats on Long Island. In particular I am looking at moth populations in restored grasslands in Montauk and in the burn site in the Dwarf Pine Plains in Westhampton. My goal for the web page is to supply photos and ecological information about Long Island’s moths.
My Courses: If you are student in one of my courses you will be able to find homework assignments and course resources, on the appropriate page. Currently I am teaching 9th and 11th grade science at The Ross School (East Hampton, NY). Ninth grade science studies motion from Aristotle to Newton and examines the evidence that supports the view that our solar system is heliocentric and not geocentric. Eleventh grade science looks at a wide variety of topics developed during the 19th and 20th centuries including evolution and genetics, energy in it various forms, and the evolution of metabolic pathways. My elective and adult-ed courses will be added as time permits.
