This weekend in Bridgehampton, it's all about wildlife — dragonflies, damselflies, and birds of prey.

Saturday is Dragonfly Day at the South Fork Natural History Museum, co-sponsored by the Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt. From 10 a.m. to noon, participants will learn about dragonflies, damselflies, and their wetland habitat. The friends, it so happens, will gather for a meeting on Monday at 6 p.m. via Zoom. A link is at longpondgreenbelt.org/events.

At 1 p.m. on Sunday, birds of prey that have been rehabilitating at the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center in Hampton Bays will be on hand at Marders nursery on Snake Hollow Road. "Learn about these amazing creatures and enjoy this unique opportunity to see them up close," urges a release.

Montauk Chemists Opens, Minus Pharmacy

Frank Calvo, the longtime pharmacist at White’s Drug and Department Store, which closed on Oct. 31, has opened Montauk Chemists on Main Street and is selling over-the-counter merchandise including vitamins and self-care products. One week after an inspection of the store’s pharmacy, however, he is still awaiting New York State approval to operate it.

Slow Start at New Gosman’s

In some ways, Gosman’s Dock, one of Montauk’s few remaining family-owned and operated businesses until its October 2024 sale, closely resembles the complex of restaurants and shops long revered by locals and visitors alike. In other ways, though, it is markedly different under its new ownership.
