A Birding Day at Kendal

Anne Swaim, of the Saw Mill River Audubon Society, returned to Kendal, October 13, to explain and demonstrate the art of birdwatching (definition: the hobby of studying wild birds in their natural environment). It was a glorious day and many a bird was watched in Kendal and Rockwood Park.

The Hamond Museum and Japanese Stroll Garden

The Hammond Museum and Japanese Stroll Garden, in North Salem, NY, is a museum with Japanese art and a 3.5-acre Japanese stroll garden. The museum offers changing exhibits, lectures, and programs that reflect the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures.

The museum was established In 1957 by Natalie Hays Hammond who wanted to provide a place where Eastern and Western cultures could be mingle. Twenty-two years later, the Westchester Community College Foundation awarded her the Medallion Award for both creating the Hammond Museum and giving her art.

And recently Lynn and Art Brady were there! So, naturally, there are pictures.
