SUMMARY:Insights into the Hidden Lives of Terns and Gulls
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an illustrated talk by Dr. Peter Paton\, Professor\, Department of Natural Resources Science\, University of Rhode Island\, who will present on current research activities on neighboring Great Gull Island\, the breeding and nesting home to 11\,000 pairs of Common Terns and 2\,200 pairs of endangered Roseate Terns.\nWHEN: Sunday\, September 14\, 2025\nTIME: 4 p.m.\nPLACE: In person at the Museum and virtual via zoom \nJoin Zoom WebinarUsing recent advances in tracking technology\, scientists and volunteers are monitoring not only annual migration from Great Gull to wintering haunts in Argentina and Brazil\, but also daily foraging trips to Montauk and Napatree\, a journey of 16+ miles\, to capture fish for their nesting chicks. Recent discoveries of migratory patterns of Great Black-backed Gulls nesting on South Dumpling and Block Island will also be revealed.

SUMMARY:Taking Manhattan
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an illustrated talk with renowned historian and author of The Island at the Center of the World\, Russell Shorto\, who will introduce us to “Taking Manhattan” his new riveting narrative that chronicles the birth of New York City in 1664 after England decided to invade the Dutch-controlled city of New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island.\nBristling with vibrant characters\, Taking Manhattan reveals the founding of New York to be an invention\, the result of creative negotiations between Richard Nicholls\, the military officer who led the threatening English flotilla\, and Peter Stuyvesant\, New Netherland’s canny director general. The New York that emerged from their peaceful talks blended the multiethnic\, capitalistic society of New Amsterdam with the power of the rising English empire. \nWHEN: Sunday\, September 28\, 2025\nTIME: 4 p.m.\nPLACE: In person at the Museum and virtual via zoom\nReception and book signing to follow \nJoin Zoom WebinarThe birth of what might be termed the first modern city is also a story of the brutal dispossession of Native Americans and of the roots of American slavery. The book draws from newly translated materials and illuminates neglected histories—of religious refugees\, Indigenous tribes\, and free and enslaved Africans. Taking Manhattan tells the riveting story of the birth of New York City as a center of capitalism and pluralism\, a foundation from which America would rise. It also shows how the paradox of New York’s origins—boundless opportunity coupled with subjugation and displacement—reflects America’s promise and failure to this day. Russell Shorto\, whose work has been described as “astonishing” (New York Times) and “literary alchemy” (Chicago Tribune)\, has once again mined archival sources to offer a vibrant tale and a fresh and trenchant argument about American beginnings. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82918708887 \nPhone one-tap:\n+16469313860\,\,82918708887# US\n+16465588656\,\,82918708887# US (New York) \nJoin via audio:\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\nWebinar ID: 829 1870 8887\nInternational numbers available: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kfhWZo95Z
