Saturday's Critters #95
Happy Saturday, it's time to share your critters and post. Any kind of critter will do, even a new or old post.. I appreciate everyone who is linking in with this week's critter party.
After being away from my computer for a week or so, I will catch up with everyone's post as soon as possible. I am sharing some birds and critters seen on our walk to the local Hashawha Nature Center in Carroll County Maryland.
I believe this is a juvenile male Scarlet Tanager, I see dark wings which is a tell-tale sign. But, I am always open to corrections.
A couple of juvenile Eastern Towhees.
Another juvenile Eastern Towhee.
A Green Heron walking the highwire across the lake.
One of the many slider turtles we saw at the lake.
A Red-spotted Purple Butterfly. I hope you enjoyed my birds and critters from the Hashawha Nature Center. Thank you for stopping by for a visit and thanks for the nice comments. I also appreciate everyone joining in with my critter party. Have a happy weekend!

Hello Eileen and thanks again for hosting tis fun meme! I love those photos of different birds but the butterfly shot is beautiful!
Happy weekend!
That butterfly is so beautiful Eileen and a great capture of the turtle. Have a great weekend.
Hello Eileen!:) Yours photos are splendid, and you always share such a great selection of critters. The juvenile Eastern Tohwee has to be my favourite, love his expression, and the butterfly and turtle captures. It was a surprise to see a Green Heron walking a highwire,.. I didn't know they could do this.:)
Hello, Eileen!
You have posted wonderful images. Beautiful critters and lovely light and colours in them. The butterfly photo is especially impressive.
Have a great weekend!
Great mix of photos!
Wow! A beautiful post with a great finish! Have a great weekend!

Hello Eileen,
Beautiful pictures of these critters.
Perfect sharply photographed, my compliments.
Best regards, Irma
Enjoyed all the critters Eileen. It was interesting to see that heron walking across the rail. Have a wonderful weekend!
That's a big fat womb that the bird has caught in the 1st photo. And the butterfly is a black beauty with glossy wings.
Lovely series of photos Eileen. The butterfly is beautiful.....love the subtle colours!
Thanks again for sharing and hosting.
Happy weekend!

I've never seen a green heron walking a high wire before! What a hoot!!
Beautiful array of birds, turtle and butterfly, love them.
Love the 'highwire act' with the Green Heron.
Great shots series!

I especially like the turtle
Great captures of all the critters.
All very beautiful photos ~ my favorites are the two birds together in the tree and the little turtle!
Happy Weekend to you,
artmusedog and carol
You are SO talented. :) Have a great weekend!
Hi. A great selection again Eileen. I do rather like the turtle today, probably because here in the UK I never see any. And the butterfly is just superb. You see Eileen I do appreciate all wildlife, I'm not a bird groupie only.
Have a lovely time.
Such a beautiful butterfly!
squeeeee...I love flutterbys
Your turtle pic is very cute!
A nice selection of birds! We see these turtles when we camp, but I never knew their name, thanks for the ID. Enjoy your weekend Eileen!
Wendy
What beautiful pictures you take! I especially like the one of the turtle, looks so regal. Love his pose. Thank you for hosting and hope you have a lovely weekend :)
Nice series of pics. Happy weekend..
Nice variety of creatures! Especially like the baby birds. The first time I saw a fledgling towhee here in Florida I was perplexed because it was quite heavily streaked. Others I have seen up north have looked much more like yours, with softer streaking. I wonder if this was just individual variation or maybe the Florida (yellow-eyed) race is different. My field guides don't help much with this.
Hi Eileen. I am back on blogging circuit following two weeks without my desktop. I really missed everyone and also sharing my own. The first bird...I am anxious to know for sure what it is. I had a migrating bird come through the yard the other day that looks a bunch like it. Great post. Take care~
Oh this is wonderful Eileen...I adore seeing the birds and the turtles. And butterflies. It is getting colder here so wildlife is few and far between although the dragonflies are still plentiful! have a wonderful weekend.
Open to correction, surely not by me!
Lovely shots, Eileen! Turtles always make me smile.
Great selection of critters. Loved seeing the turtle and the pretty butterfly along with all the wonderful birds.
Wonderful shot of the turtle and the birds!
Love the Green Heron "walking the tightrope." The Red-spotted Purple butterflies look so elegant, definitely one of my favorites.
That turtle really seems to be enjoying the sun.
Great shots! Nice to see the juveniles.
Good timing to catch the bird with a worm in its mouth. - Margy
Lovely shots of the critters - makes me feel all warm inside.
I would have loved seeing the green heron walking the wire. Cool!
Thanks for sharing this marvelous post by linking up at I'd Rather B Birdin'. You know by now, I always enjoy my visits here.
i love the turtle & butterfly. very very cool. ( :
Dearest Eileen; What splendid critters, dear friend. I especially amazed by the Red-spotted Purple Butterfly♪♪♪ How elegant it looks and I wish I could the green heron :-)
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
What an enjoy to see all these critters from such up close... Amazing like always!!
Great to come back and to have such joy of looking at your stunning instants! Warm greetings and a good start in the new week!
hey eileen, great selection of birds. i really like that butterfly shot.
happy weekend~
Hi Eileen, Congrats on another very nice post for Saturday's Critters. Hope you are having a fine weekend!
I don't know what was wrong with me yesterday...I forgot it was Saturday and went all day without adding my post! :-) Love your juveniles, and the turtle and butterfly are great! Nice shots!
Fantastic shots !!! It would be great to see the purple butterfly here in my garden !!
Happy Sunday !
Always love those green herons! Gorgeous butterfly! Thanks for hosting, Eileen! Late to the party because we had our first storm yesterday and lost electricity! Hope you have a great Sunday. xo Karen
A great collection, Eileen. Looks like a lovely fall.
Lovely selection of photo's here Eileen.
Hope you had a good week away from the computer.

Cute birds and a turtle, but butterfly charmed me. Regards.
Lovely Red-spotted Purple, Eileen.

Hi Eileen, The Towhees are great birds. i have not seen any in a couple of years. Saw one when I first moved to Florida but nothing since. That Green Heron picture is a great one. Have a fine coming week!
Nice Critters Eileen!
You sure had some nice shots to share...the one of the green heron walking the wire tickles me.
Great images, Eileen!
And that butterfly... Stunning!!!!
A wonderful sequence, as usual!
Kisses!
Ana
