'Portraits of Birds': M.C. and Amanda Morgan have been photographing birds in the St. Augustine, Florida area ever since they retired. Their bird photos have been pleasing their friends and neighbors, and the members of St. Johns Audubon, for several years now. This sampling of their Portraits of Birds will give you an idea of the patience and skill of these wonderful artists.
