I led a small group of the Learning Center’s members on a wildlife photography hike through Morton Wildlife Refuge in Noyac. This location is a great place to hone tracking and photography skills needed to capture images of fast moving little critters like chipmunks and flitting birds like chickadees. Of course there are many other species there, but the chickadees and tufted titmice along with the adorable chipmunks are brave enough to come right up to anyone with a snack of their favorite food-sunflower seeds. So, even photographers without a long zoom lens can get great images.
The weather was gloomy for our visit, but the rain stayed away while we enjoyed the hike through the woods and marsh. So much to see there-fallen logs with mushrooms of all sorts, bittersweet berries in various stages of ripeness, and a few leaves already dressed in autumn colors.
