This is a Dark-eyed Junco who was willing to offer me two different profiles. These tend to be difficult birds for me to photograph. I usually find them on the ground, which doesn’t always result in a good pic. They move around quite quickly and as I tend to shoot in manual focus, it can be rather tricky getting one in focus. This bird, however, sat still for three whole seconds, which translates to a lifetime when you’re shooting birds. JK.

A Chipmunk in Sag Harbor

Thursday, December 31, 2020,

Here we are at the year’s end. At last. It’s been a tough year for most of us. Very few folks have not experienced economic hardship, or worse, the loss of people they know and love. There is an old curse, often attributed to a Chinese origin, that states, “May you live in interesting times.” I, for one, am ready for a little boredom. And with that in mind, I offer you two rather mundane photographs of a Chipmunk that I encountered whilst hiking. Let’s end this year with some cuteness. I wish all of you a happier and healthier coming year than the one we’ve just experienced. Be well, my friends.  JK.
