• The Southampton Town Trustees are implementing a Duck Feeding Program for black ducks, who overwinter on Long Island and migrate north to their breeding grounds in Canada. This time of the year is critical for these birds, who need to be well-nourished for the migration. The bays have been frozen for the past seven weeks preventing the ducks from eating and preparing for their long flight. Feed can be picked up from the Trustee Maintenance shop at 20 Jackson Avenue in Hampton Bays. If you have any questions, contact Harry Miller, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. or call  631.487.8637.

Today, March 19 at 6:30 p.m., they will hold a community meeting, with refreshments, at their headquarters at 110 Peconic Avenue. The Beacon’s full story is online here.

• The Southampton Town Board will review applicants for vacancies on boards and committees and go over the draft agenda for next Tuesday’s meeting at their 10:30 a.m. work session today.

• Today’s Riverhead Town Board work session has been cancelled, but the board will be holding an executive session, which is not open to the public, to discuss personnel matters.
