Hawks are one of the most noticeable and important predators in our ecosystem. Through pictures and meeting live birds, we will discuss the natural history of our local hawk species and their current conservation status in New York, Connecticut and on Fishers Island.

In the full sweep of Fishers Island’s history, there is no artist more synonymous, more closely associated with Fishers Island than Charles B. “Charlie” Ferguson. The main show features images from two of Charlie's sketchbooks which functioned as illustrated diaries that were filled with daily activities, nature observations, personal notes, and lots of art—drawings, sketches, and watercolors—in various states of completion.
