Day Three on Long Island

Now we know why it is important to know what day it is. In retirement that can be a problem
 
 
We took this pic for our Son, Jason, who had a bad experience with a clown when he was small.

Remember the clown monster, Jason?
 Don't worry he is now behind bars.
If you make it to Southhold on the north fork of Long Island make a stop for lunch at Erik's. We had the best Skirt Steak meal we have ever had at a price that was excellent. They are only open for lunch and breakfast and get there early to avoid a crowd even on a week day.
 
 
 
 
The wineries are everywhere. After some research we decide to visit a couple of them. We visited the Duck Walk first. Wines were OK.

Becky at the bar . Next we visited Pindar Vineyards.  We liked their wines better. Pam and Don,  we are bringing you one.
 
The day was gray and little rainy, but we decided to go to Elizabeth A. Morton National Wildlife Refuge. It is located close to Sag Harbor and north of the Hamptons. The park is known for birds that will fly up and eat out of your hand. There were signs saying not to do it, but we were careful and only gave them sunflower seeds and not too many.
 

The first one that flew up to my hand was a little startling, but soon you get use to them buzzing around your head.

I had Chickadees, Nuthatch and Titmouse come to my hand until the sunflower seeds were all gone.   

Becky had chickadees, titmouse and a woodpecker come to her hand.

This was a lot of fun.

Deer were watching, wondered if they would come up too. They did not.

Another Chickadee
 
What a great time.
 
Another end to a good day. Tomorrow on to New York City.
