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!

ReplyDeleteHello 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.:)

Enjoyed all the critters Eileen. It was interesting to see that heron walking across the rail. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat's a big fat womb that the bird has caught in the 1st photo. And the butterfly is a black beauty with glossy wings.
ReplyDeleteLovely series of photos Eileen. The butterfly is beautiful.....love the subtle colours!

Happy weekend!

artmusedog and carol
You are SO talented. :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi. 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.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely time.
Such a beautiful butterfly!
ReplyDeletesqueeeee...I love flutterbys
ReplyDeleteYour turtle pic is very cute!
ReplyDeleteA 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!
ReplyDeleteWendy
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 :)
ReplyDeleteNice series of pics. Happy weekend..
ReplyDeleteNice 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.
ReplyDeleteHi 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~
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteOpen to correction, surely not by me!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, Eileen! Turtles always make me smile.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of critters. Loved seeing the turtle and the pretty butterfly along with all the wonderful birds.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot of the turtle and the birds!
ReplyDeleteLove the Green Heron "walking the tightrope." The Red-spotted Purple butterflies look so elegant, definitely one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThat turtle really seems to be enjoying the sun.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Nice to see the juveniles.
ReplyDeleteGood timing to catch the bird with a worm in its mouth. - Margy
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of the critters - makes me feel all warm inside.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved seeing the green heron walking the wire. Cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this marvelous post by linking up at I'd Rather B Birdin'. You know by now, I always enjoy my visits here.
ReplyDeletei love the turtle & butterfly. very very cool. ( :
ReplyDeleteDearest 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 :-)

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!
