Happy Weekend...I am linking up with Camera Critters
These are a few of the birds and critters hubby and I saw while walking on the C&O canal trail in Potomac, Md.
The Slider turtles are always seen on a sunny day at the canal.
We watched this Horned Grebe on the Potomac River side of the C&O Canal trail.
The Common Whitetail or known as long-tailed skimmer is a common dragonfly seen across North America
A Double-Crested Cormorant.. there is a nesting colony of Cormorants on the Potomac River. So they are a common bird to see along the river.
I hope you enjoyed my birds and critters for the Camera Critter post. The C&O Canal trail is a great place to walk and see all kinds of birds and critters. We saw so much I will split my walk into two posts.

Thanks to Misty for hosting and thanks to everyone for stopping by to see my post. Have a safe and HAPPY weekend.

I love places like that to walk! Great shot of that slider! You can really see the detail on his neck! I always appreciate your identification too - if I could only remember it, it would help me when I am out!
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to see what you come across in your walks. Have a great weekend, Eileen!

At last I have been able to call by and catch up properly with your gorgeous photos of stunning sunrises and interesting creatures.
ReplyDeleteNice Horned Grebe shot Eileen. Over here we have the same species where it's called Slavonian Grebe. have a great weekend - unlike here where there are floods not too far away in Wales.
ReplyDeletelove all your critters...but especially the TURTLE!!!!!!!!!!
