Click on images for better viewing.


1. March 22nd, another walk to the Prettyboy reservoir to see the Eagles nest. Our second time to check out the nest only to find it empty again. 






2. March 22nd, while we were out walking with Miney the Peacock came for a visit. Who left the gate open? The peacock was sitting on our deck railing when we got home. 






3. March 25th, fire road walk with Miney to the lake





4. March 25th, the Peacock was back sitting on the swing set. 






5. March 29th, my back yard birds: the Peacock, Eastern Bluebird, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, Dark-eyed Junco and the White-throated Sparrow. 






6. March 29th, on the NCR trail with Miney. 





7. March 30th, we took Miney with us to visit with our son, DIL and our grandchildren. Winnie the Corgi had fun playing with Miney. 






8. A flashback looking at a couple of my Florida favorite birds seen in a couple of favorite places.


Flashback images are from May 2015  Gatorland in Kissimmee Florida I am sharing a Cattle Egret.  There was a large breeding marsh at the Gatorland Park,  my main reason for visiting was to see all the heron and egrets in their rookery. 



From March 2017, a Green Heron seen at the Circle B Preserve near Lakeland Florida. 





I am linking up to Heidrun's Mosaic Monday  I hope you can stop by and visit Heidrun and check out the Mosaic Monday post.

1. March 20th, I am sharing a mosaic of my back yard birds, the Eastern Bluebird couple, a first sighting of the season for the Chipping Sparrow and our visiting Peacock on top of our swing.





2. I am not sure if my Bluebirds like the Peacock sitting so close to their birdhouse. 




3. This was my first Chipping Sparrow sighting of the season .




4. The neighborhood Peacock likes to sit on top of the swing. Maybe it feels safe there. 





5. March 20th, our walk on the local NCR bike trail with Miney, I was able to get a nice photo of the Eastern Phoebe, a Great Blue Heron was spooked and flew down the stream. 





6. At this time in late March I was hearing more of the Eastern Phoebe, sometimes I hear them before I actually see them. They like to hang around the streams. 




7. A walk with Miney on another section of the NCR bike trail in Bentley Springs, Parkton Md.






8. Another Florida Flashback April 2015, photo taken at Biolab Rd Merritt Island NWR. A large group of White Pelicans, Roseate Spoonbills, Egrets and White Ibis.




Another Florida flashback from 2015, there is a spot near the Merritt Island NWR where the Manatees are known to hang out is called the Haulover Canal.
