The
Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary is a nice spot tucked into the north shore of Massachusetts. We generally only walk here during the winter months to hand feed the birds, but it's a nice place for a short hike in any case.
We began out walk in the early afternoon with the moon poking through the trees.
Unfortunately, there were many people here on this nice winter day, and we had trouble finding spots with hungry birds. After a little while we had some chickadees start to take interest.
Robin did most of the feeding this day as my hands were cold and full of camera. It was impossible to get any of these little guys to hold still for me. They have no interest in hanging around after they grab a seed. They also hate the sound of my camera's shutter, which they are faster than... I got a lot of images that looked like the one below.
There were also many ground squirrels running everywhere boasting plundered bird seed. We were overjoyed teasing them about their tufted ears. They didn't find it amusing...
