Last week, a day after this year’s Nor’Easter blizzard, I went to the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge refuge, only to find that it was closed because there was too much snow to be cleared. I turned around and drove to the Barnegat Lighthouse. It was still very windy, cold, and the sea was rough.

There was a small patch of blue sky right above the lighthouse.

A young White-throated Sparrow was braving the wind. It kept jumping around, but I finally managed to get a shot of it.

There was a small park next to the lighthouse. It was loaded with snow.

Higher in a tree, an American Robin did not seem to be too affected by the weather.

European Starlings were flying around and landing here and there, asking to be photographed.

As I started to go home, I saw a cheery sign for an art gallery.
