The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place at Chancellors Hall and include refreshments, music, an alumni-sponsored photo booth, guided windmill tours, crafts for children and other family activities.

The windmill has been standing at its current site on Shinnecock Hills since 1888, and is a cherished historical icon.

The talk, held in Duke Lecture Hall inside Chancellors Hall, will review the plethora of wildlife that inhabits the air, land, and sea of Long Island.
