Best known to birders as a good place to see waterbirds, especially ducks, loons, and gulls, from late fall through early spring. Often in late fall, a large flock of Greater and Lesser Scaup and Redheads is present in the lake off the beach, and other species regularly join them.

Birders and birds of all types have long been attracted to this beautiful campus. It is filled with trees and shrubs, offers a manmade lagoon, playing fields and beautiful lakefront.
