These plants with bright red berries are all over my town on Cape Cod. The Robins love the berries. These photographs are from the bike path. The bird image is terrible because I had to rush to take it before she/he flew away. I’d been hoping to photograph the fast-moving Egrets, and the shutter speed was set at 1/2000, which resulted in an ISO of 10,000 in the shade where this Robin was perched. No Egrets were out, as is often the case, but there were many songbirds.
The bike path goes right through the Great Sippewissett marsh, where there must have been thousands of Egrets in centuries past. No more.
