Coyotes, which have recently been seen on surveillance cameras on the East End, will be the subject of a South Fork Natural History Museum and Nature Center talk on Saturday at 10:30 a.m.

Mike Bottini, a wildlife biologist with the Seatuck Environmental Association, will go over the history of coyotes, their migration to Long Island, their behavior and biology, and how to safely coexist with them.

SoFo says the program is free and suitable for all ages. Registration ahead of time is required online at bit.ly/3iPv5V8. Participants will be emailed more information about the program after they sign up.
