I am linking up with Mosaic Monday and Sunday Bridges and Our World Tuesday
On Saturday, hubby and I took a walk locally at the Loch Raven Reservoir. The reservoir is one of three reservoirs that Baltimore City owns for their drinking water. On the weekends part of the road around the reservoir is closed for hikers, bikers and joggers. It is a very pretty and scenic area to view while you are out walking. I also enjoy the birds in the lake, we saw Bufflehead ducks, a Gadwall, a Mute Swan, lots of seagulls and Canada Geese.
In the mosiac I have pictured top left a Bufflehead duck, a flock of seagulls being fed, one of the bridges going over the lake, middle left a Gadwall, middle right is a Mute Swan, bottom row is the same bridge and more seagulls.
It was a windy and chilly day so we did a brisk walk on the road and walk down closer to the lake to look at the birds.
This swan was quite a ways out in the water but I swear it was giving me the evil eye.

Yet another great birding trip.

Those birds do enjoy their late winter.
That looks like a cool walk:) The swan giving you the evil eye...well, may have been doing so:) I don't trust those guys...or geese near me. They can do some damage:)

e have a duck called whio, pronounced Fi O, and it is an endangered duck. I like your seagulls gathering.
I should post my latest, sea gull gathering at some one's roof top.
There is that lovely pup-cub, all happy to take a walkies with the parents;) Lovely images Eileen and it looks like the Mute Swan may be a second year out swan...something about the colouration, or it may have been the glorious sunlight~
oh, those shots are all so beautiful...you just gave me a huge smile here...viewing winged friends is such a treat to the eye and soul...
Lovely photos and mosaic. Really great birdphotos.

Looks a nice day for walk Eileen even if it was windy, blowing waves across the lake in your picture. Like the Buffleheads and those gulls look like Ring-billed. Goldie Girl seemed to enjoy the walk too.

What a fascinating series of beautiful photos today. The bridge is an impressive one as are all of the birds. You really got some grand shots. genie
Great birding place, great birds! I'm really impressed that they close the road on weekends.
OH Eileen, You all live in such a great place and can visit all of these wonderful places to see the water birds... AWESOME... That swan is giving you a dirty look for sure... ha ha
We are home from our 2nd trip is a month--and both of us have colds.. Yuk! Guess it will be REST for this upcoming week for both of us.
Hugs,
Betsy
Beautiful birds. So many of them all in one place.
Looks like a delightful walk!
Great photos and the reservoir looks like a very nice place to visit.
Lovely pictures ! Seagulls always make me think of my holidays in England ! There are so many and they wake me up early mornings !
I like the lovely birds, the shimmering blue water, and the ripples showing how windy it was. Thanks for sharing your joyful walk in spite of the cold.
Hi there - the swan does look to be giving you a bit of a glare!

I can feel the chill looking at your images. Especially the view of the water and the trees in the background. What a great shot of the birds! Love them all!!
Hope Goldie Girl got her swim - what an adorable face!
Lovely shots.
Loch raven looks like a wonderful spot. It's always nice to see Goldie!

A fabulous collection of birds and water, Eileen. A beautiful place to take in nature's gifts. :)
Amazing series, Eileen!

Oh, how pretty! I bet Goldie Girl is enjoying too, as much as I am. So many different things to see in one place. The swan really looks so cute.
What a wonderful walk that was... I enjoyed tagging along.
