Trip to the bird sanctuary

Today we went to Morton Bird Sanctuary in Sag Harbor. We had heard that you could hand feed birds there so we thought that we would check it out. It was AMAZING!!! I really didn't think that we would be able to but they come right up to your hand. The first time one landed on me, I scared it away with my gasps. After the initial shock and amazement, we were able to stand still with our hands filled with bird seed. So cool. Check out the pics and videos below:




Surprisingly Luke did not freak out when the birds landed.


He even laughed when their wings fluttered...

We also hand fed chipmunks (but you're really not supposed to - they say they are getting aggressive if you can believe that).
