What to do, where to go, what to see, what to read, and more.

Things have started to go batty up in the West Tisbury woods where I live, and I’m not just referring to the northern long-ear denizens that have returned to jitter and jive across my yard.

The deer have gone crazy. The birds have gone mad. The pinkletinks have gone positively berserk. They sound their cacophonous mating call all through the night, a chorus of “pick-me-pick-me-pick-me”s emanating from the ponds.
