Come early and enjoy a continental breakfast

The Sarah Lawrence campus is one of the College’s special treasures, a superbly and naturalistically designed mélange of architectural gems, splendid gardens and centuries-old trees, surrounded by shady suburban lanes, woodlots and even small wetlands. A surprising array and diversity of bird life can be found here. Late October brings many migrating species making their way stealthily southward. Join us for a pleasant stroll around the campus to identify some of the common (and perhaps uncommon) avian inhabitants. Binoculars recommended. Fred Baumgarten, Director of Foundation, Government, and Corporate Relations at Sarah Lawrence, is an experienced birdwatcher and former staff member of the National Audubon Society
