I have more photos from our walks with the dogs, some birds and a few critters. Since having the dogs here our outings are more just around the neighborhood, on our local fire roads and to the lake. Our weather has warmed up, we have had a few days of high temperatures and humidity.
Click on images from better viewing.
1. May 30th, scenes from our walk on the fire road. We saw a bunny, unknown Flycatcher, grand-dogs and the Mountain Laurels are blooming next to the trail.
2. June 1st, another walk with the grand-dogs , I heard more birds than I saw on our walk. I am hearing lots of Ovenbirds, Worm-eating Warblers, Scarlet Tanagers, Red-eyed Vireo, various Woodpeckers, White-breasted Nuthatch, Brown-headed Cowbirds, Eastern Wood Pewee and American Robins. Below are Nibbles and Winnie, not sure if we a saw Leopard Frog or is it a toad, a Black Snake was on the fire road, large leaf Magnolia tree, possible Hawthorn shrub and Mountain Laurel.
3. June 2nd, I was watching the Eastern Bluebirds coming and going to one of my birdhouses.
4. June 3rd, hubby and I took a walk on the NCR bike trail, I heard a lot of birds singing, guessing at the flycatcher, PeWee or a Phoebe , damselfly, the trail, a large dragonfly and some wildflowers and honeysuckle.
5. June 4th, again I was watching the Bluebirds in my yard and I saw a Chipping Sparrow gathering dog hair for it's nest.
6. June 5th, our walk with the grand-dogs on the local fire road. We had a staring contest with a deer on the trail. It was watching us and we watched it for awhile. The dogs did not notice the deer until it started running away.
7. Can you find the deer? The deer is standing behind Nibbles, near some ferns.
8. June 6th, our routine dog walking on the local fire road, this time we watched a Wood Thrush on the trail in front of us. I think it was eating or collecting something mixed in with the pine needles on the ground.
