Saturday's Critters #80

Saturday's Critters #80

It's Saturday and it's time to share your critters.. Any kind of critter will do, even a new or old post.. I appreciate everyone who has linked up in the past and for those who are linking in on this week's critter party. And of course I always appreciate my blogging friends stopping by just for a visit.

I am sharing some birds from one of our daytrips to the Delaware Shores and Bombay Hook WNR.


A Blue Grosbeak posed nicely for a couple of seconds. The male has the pretty rusty wingbars.


A group of Short-billed Dowitchers  and a Willet seen at Prime Hook NWR. I am assuming these are the Short-billed and not the Long Billed Dowitchers.


Osprey with it's dinner seen from the road.




A couple of Black Bellied Plovers at Bombay Hook NWR


Here's looking at you kid!


One of the many bunnies we saw on our walk at Prime Hook NWR.


This shot is cute with the bunny and its paw up to his mouth and a look of surprise.

 I hope you enjoyed this post of birds and the cute bunnies.. Now, I am looking forward to seeing your critters. As always, thank you for your visits and nice comments. Have a happy weekend!





Thanks to Tex Theresa aka Tex, I was able to add this link up button and thanks to  Jennifer for creating my photo badge.

  3. Your photos are so cute, Eileen. The Blue Grosbeak is my favorite color combination for birds, though usually the salmon color is more abundant. The hawk has such funny wide-eyed expression, and the last bunny is hilarious!
