I am sharing my walks, my favorite parks, NCR bike trail and of course our local Prettyboy fire road walk with Miney. I have been enjoying all the wildflowers, the spring birds are arriving. All are my simple pleasure and bring me joy.

1. Hashawha Nature Center walk, the wildflowers were looking pretty. I found an Eastern Kingbird sitting on a wire that goes across the lake. The kingbird's tail has white on the very bottom. I captured a Carolina Wren, you can almost hear him singing.
2. NCR trail Parkton Maryland, the best bird I heard and saw was the Baltimore Oriole. The white-throated Sparrows were still hanging around, the Northern Parula was singing often.
3. My backyard bunny is a cutie!
4. My walk with Miney on the Prettyboy fire road, I love seeing the Pink Lady Slippers.
5. While the Pink lady Slippers are blooming I tend to walk on the fire road in their direction. Our Rhododendrons are blooming, we lost some branches this past winter. The snow was too heavy and they fell over.
6. Miney loves her walks, her nose is to the ground. So many smells for her, she picks up speed if she smells a fox.
7. The Bluebirds are using a birdhouse on our deck, the male Bluebird does not like the woodpeckers. I have seen him trying to chase off the birds from the feeders.
8. Walk with Miney on the local fire road at Prettyboy.
I hope you are all enjoying nature and getting outdoors walking.

This post continues with our little getaway to the Eastern shore of Maryland, we stopped on the way home at the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge. We saw so many birds, Eagles and Osprey were plentiful. There were Egrets, Herons, Red-headed Woodpecker, Brown-headed Nuthatches, various shorebirds and gulls.
1. Below are an Osprey couple, one Osprey eating a fish perched on the side of the nest.
My Merlin App showed just some of the birds seen and heard at the Blackwater wildlife refuge in Cambridge Maryland.
2. Seen below are the Brown-headed Nuthatch top left and the Eastern Bluebird top right. Bottom left is the red-headed Woodpecker and a Killdeer on the right.
3. We saw some Great Egrets hanging about in the wetlands.
The Great Blue Herons are a common sight to see along the wildlife drive.
4. My Merlin App picked up both the Lesser Yellowlegs and the Greater Yellowlegs.
5. The Ospreys and Eagle sightings were plentiful. I think both the Ospreys and the Eagles are impressive beautiful birds.
6. There were two Eaglets in the nest, this photo is heavily cropped.
7. This pair of Eagles posed in a pine tree that was next to the wildlife drive.
8. The sun was reflecting on the Glossy Ibis
A Killdeer with two chicks at the visitor center.
I hope you enjoyed my bird sightings at the Blackwater Wildlife refuge, these photos were all taken from my car window. My reason for not being perfect photos.
