Checking In on the Plovers | The East Hampton Star The bad news is the numbers of piping plover fledglings in East Hampton Town was down in 2025. The good news is the number is still better than in 2023.

Researchers say there are fewer than 8,000 breeding pairs of piping plovers left in the world, so even the success of a handful of the birds on East Hampton beaches really matters.

It Came in Through a Sooty Chimney | The East Hampton Star A fish dropped from the sky lands in a Montauk living room with a heavy message of . . . accepting death?

Thea Giovannini-Torelli, hearing a sound like rustling paper, walked out of her bedroom and found a fish, covered in a thin layer of soot flopping on her living room floor near her fireplace. She took it as a sign. By @cgangemi.bsky.social

Birding in the Time of AI

"Now, anyone can stand in the woods, hold out their damned phone, and say, β€œUh, yeah, that’s a black-throated blue warbler,” or whatever, stealing my single parlor trick.

Carl Fisher’s Montauk, 100 Years Ago | The East Hampton Star Amid the headlines on the front page of The East Hampton Star’s issue published 100 years ago today, one directly below the masthead stood out: β€œCARL FISHER BUYS 9,000 ACRES AT MONTAUK FOR $2,500,000 ...

One hundred years later, the ur-developer Carl Fisher’s influence on Montauk, now immense in the popular imagination, remains profound.

The newspaper's logo is at the top and beneath it is a crab with "arms" crossed (it is not a horseshoe crab).

Feral Days | The East Hampton Star In Adam Ross’s β€œPlayworld,” the fictional family of four seems as fully rendered as the 1980 New York City he meticulously details, and the result is at once unsettling, relatable, and funny.

The protagonist in Adam Ross's addictive second novel, drops a bomb right off the bat: β€œIn the fall of 1980, when I was fourteen, a friend of my parents named Naomi Shah fell in love with me.
