Spring was ready to reveal itself on the 187-acre Elizabeth A. Morton National Wildlife Refuge in Noyack, New York. During our two-hour photo hike sponsored by the Middle Country Public Library in Centereach, patrons walked among the wild birds and beachfront, a peninsula in part surrounded by Noyack and Little Peconic bays. Managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the refuge is a part of the Long Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex.
