A Female Cardinal at Morton
Wednesday, December 2, 2020,
This is a female Northern Cardinal that I saw at Morton Refuge in Sag Harbor. Morton is known for the several species of birds that will take and eat bird seed from your hand. Cardinals do not engage in this activity but they will hang around hoping and waiting for any dropped seeds. This lovely lady may be trying to will me into being careless or clumsy. JK.

A Carolina Wren on a Cloudy Day
Tuesday, December 1, 2020,
This is a Carolina Wren that I chanced upon at Morton Refuge. It was a very overcast day and a rainfall was a real possibility. In fact, I had been hustling to make it back to my truck in order to evade the oncoming storm when I heard this little guy chattering away. I really like Carolina Wrens but I don’t get many opportunities to photograph them. It’s not that they are particularly rare, but they don’t sit still for long. I suspect they drink a lot of coffee. So when I spotted this guy, I did not have any high hopes but, look, you always have to try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And despite the lousy lighting, I did manage to capture these shots before the rain began. I hope you like them. JK.
