The South Fork's own home-grown rock star Nancy Atlas will play to the crowd at the free Tuesday night concert at Main Beach this week.

Music runs from 6 to 8 and parking is free to all starting at 5. The lots fill up quickly, so the earlier you arrive, the less likely you'll be walking down from Lily Pond Lane or Lee Avenue, where police also allow parking during the weekly shows. Lifeguards are on duty for the evening and the Beach Hut concession at the pavilion is open throughout.

Hello Brooklyn, regulars at the Stephen Talkhouse among other local music venues, will perform at Main Beach on Aug. 8. (The Star jumped ahead a week in print in reporting that they would be featured this Tuesday.) The band on Aug. 15 will be Rubix Kube, and the band on Aug. 22 has yet to be announced. On Aug. 29, it'll be Real East End Brass, and Rum Punch Mafia is on the schedule for the final concert of the season on Sept. 5.

It was severely decomposed," said Rob DiGiovanni, chief scientist for the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society.

On the Wing: Dawn Chorus in Spring

The dawn chorus of birdsong is different depending on your habitat, your location, and the time of year. Songbird migration will peak by mid-May. As songbirds migrate overhead during the night, they blanket the sleeping country with sound, calling to each other to keep their flocks together and tight. When they land, they sing us awake.
