1. Our walk on the local fire road with hubby and Miney. Hubby has his favorite rest stop, Miney is like the Energizer Bunny, she can keep going on and on. 





2. Back at home on the deck and on our roof, the Peacock always feels at home.  





3. I have been seeing a Northern Flicker pecking away at our grass and weeds, I assume finding bugs to eat. 







4. The Chipping Sparrows were one of the early Spring birds to arrive in my yard. They are cute and have a pretty sound too. 







5. The Pine Warbler is one of my favorite yard birds, the male is seen below with his pretty yellow color. Images are new, they may look like I have shown on previous posts.







6. Miney is always on guard while sitting out on our deck.  






7. One morning, we took our walk on the local George's Creek trail. George's Creek dumps into the Prettyboy Reservoir. It was a good morning, filled with bird songs, my Merlin App picked up 36 different bird songs.  It was a mixed of our winter birds like the Ruby-crowned Kinglet bottom left photo, White-throated Sparrow, Brown Creeper and some summer birds like the Gray Catbird, Barn Swallows, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher top left photo, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Common Yellowthroat and Louisiana Waterthrush. 




The Merlin App was on while we hiked the George's Creek trail. It was neat to hear the wild turkeys across the creek.


















8. On our walk we saw some wildflowers and ran into one of our neighbors Linda out walking her two labradors. Linda pointed out the trout lilies in the top photo on left, bottom left are the May Apples they were not in bloom at the time , there were lots of the purple violets and dandelions.  




On the NCR bike trail , I saw and heard the Belted Kingfisher along with some other regular birds.

1. On the NCR bike trail, hubby, Miney and I had a nice day for a walk.  We was able to captures the female Eastern Towhee and the Eastern Phoebe perched along the trail.  





A closer look at the female Eastern Towhee, she is a beauty. The female has a brown head, back and throat, rusty sides and a white belly. 




Back at home in the back yard, is the Peacock perched on the swing. 





2. Below the Conowingo Dam, the Bald Eagles were plentiful. 






Along the Susquehanna River trail, we saw lots of wildflowers. Top left are the Dutchman's Breeches, top right Yellow Woodland Anemone, bottom two are Bluebells just starting to open. 



We saw lots of the trout lilies. They are one of my favorites, they are a beautiful to see. 



3. On the island in the middle of the Susquehanna River there is a Great Blue Heron rookery. 





Below the Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River, we saw lots of Bald Eagles. They stop to eat some fish on their migration north.  I counted five adult Eagles and two juvenile Eagles perched on top of rock in the background.






4. Codorus Reservoir, Hanover Pennsylvania. We had some extra time before meeting the family for lunch, we stopped for some views of the lake.  





Bonus, we met up with my son and his family and my sister and her hubby on Easter Saturday. It was a dialysis morning, but we were able to meet for lunch. Hubby enjoys moments with the grandchildren, like a hug from our granddaughter Sophie.



We gave the grandkiddies their Easter baskets early, they all enjoyed the baskets, especially the bubble makers. It was a Happy Easter.
