Saturday's Critters #118
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.
Hubby and I took a walk on the trail next to the Monocacy River in Frederick County, Maryland. Below are some of the birds I saw including the cool Great Horned Owl.
Great Horned Owl seen off the trail.
A snoozing Great Horned Owl. I wish I could make that tree branch disappear, but that is not happening.
Singing Redwing Blackbird.
Besides the birds above, we also saw a group of white-tailed deer running off into the woods. I hope you enjoy my owl and all the other birds from our walk.

Thank you Eileen for hosting Saturday's Critters.
ReplyDeleteYour capture of the snoozing Great Horned Owl is great!
Have a lovely weekend :)
My Lovely, Wonderful Eileen, good morning and thank you for hosting me !
ReplyDeleteHope you and your friends will enjoy the post I've linked, filled with so many critters living in the little lakes and in the English styled garden of the wonderful Villa the Marquess Orso Serra has made build after visiting England in the early XIXth century, located in the hinterland of Genoa.
Sending you much love for vishing you a most wonderful day, today, and weekend ever,
with heartfelt gratitude

Nice to see the owl. Our best local spot for them was "improved" from a nice wild place into more of a park with equestrian trails and picnic shelters, which made the owls move elsewhere. Hope to see them nesting near our Illinois home fairly soon. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Eileen. You found a good one with that Great Horned Owl. Although the branches might intrude a little into the scene I think it is good to see how a large owl can hide away. Of course you showed my favourite the Red-winged Blackbird. How I wish I could hear it singing right now.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and weekend.
Que beleza, tenho sempre que me repetir aqui! Belíssimos cliques!ADOREI! bjs, ótimo fds! chica

ReplyDeleteHello Eileen and thanks for hosting! The owl sighting is just wonderful! I love all your photos!

Owls are very cute. As far as I know.
ReplyDeleteTheir expression just looks like ours.
But I haven't take any pictures of them.
Happy weekend to you.
the only place i can find critters to photograph here are in the parks.. they are in the preserves but have never seen them. a few cranes here and there. i love that owl and the red wing black bird. awesome shots
ReplyDeleteThe owl is just gorgeous! Wouldn't it be so much easier if we could make branches disappear!! Have a beautiful weekend! Love the image of the bird singing in your collage (not sure of the type of bird)
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful owl! Here we can hear one late at night, but I have never seen it.
Have a nice weekend!
Oh I would be soo thrilled to get a photo of any owl lol wonderful captures good thing he was napping . Thanks for sharing , Have a good weekend !
ReplyDeleteYou certainly were "a wise old owl" to get out early enough to see the owl and other birds!
ReplyDeleteIn the first photo I could quite tell what that was! But there he is showing his face a few spaces down.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots!
That's a beautiful GHO! I get annoyed when these silly birds can't perch in a clear shot too ;) You saw a nice collection of springtime birds. Redwing blackbirds are the chorus of spring!
ReplyDeleteWendy
Very well captured through the branches. The bird collage is good too.
ReplyDeleteYou always have such a wonderful variety to present to us.
Hello Eileen

It's my dream to see an owl when we hike. We can hear them! lol Love your photos! Happy Saturday. Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteThat's one beautiful owl. And I've never seen a red winged blackbird - what a beauty
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen, what a group of happy captures. That owl is just the cutest, and I trust even with his eyes closed he/she is still seeing! Genius critter shots again, you sure can capture them. I'm still working on my cardinal photo, thinking of adorning his favorite tree with delights just for him! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteNice shots Eileen.
ReplyDeleteWonderful these birds.
Best regards, Irma
I like all of your pics . . .
ReplyDeleteEven the ones with a branch in the way . . .

ReplyDeleteThe Owl is impressing!
