Happy Weekend...I am linking up with Camera Critters
These are a few of the birds and critters hubby and I saw while walking on the C&O canal trail in Potomac, Md.
The Slider turtles are always seen on a sunny day at the canal.

We watched this Horned Grebe on the Potomac River side of the C&O Canal trail.

The Common Whitetail or known as long-tailed skimmer is a common dragonfly seen across North America

A Double-Crested Cormorant.. there is a nesting colony of Cormorants on the Potomac River. So they are a common bird to see along the river.
I hope you enjoyed my birds and critters for the Camera Critter post. The C&O Canal trail is a great place to walk and see all kinds of birds and critters. We saw so much I will split my walk into two posts.

I love places like that to walk! Great shot of that slider! You can really see the detail on his neck! I always appreciate your identification too - if I could only remember it, it would help me when I am out!
It's always nice to see what you come across in your walks. Have a great weekend, Eileen!
:)
At last I have been able to call by and catch up properly with your gorgeous photos of stunning sunrises and interesting creatures.
Nice Horned Grebe shot Eileen. Over here we have the same species where it's called Slavonian Grebe. have a great weekend - unlike here where there are floods not too far away in Wales.
love all your critters...but especially the TURTLE!!!!!!!!!!
turtles and wolves...my animal totems...

These are wonderful critters, Eileen. I would love to see the cormorant one day.
I am assuming that is juvenile cormorant - I have only seen them in black.
Nice to start a new day talking to critters.
Which I shall do tomorrow.

I love turtles.The grebe and the cormorant ... such pretty feathered friends you have. Can't forget the dragonfly! Looks like a nice visit to the C&O Canal trail.
Fantastic critters to see on a lazy Saturday morning!
Your nature shots are always amazing..
Beautiful shots, Eileen. What a great place for a walk while capturing the diverse wildlife.
Great shots Eileen! Now if I could only remember what the name of some of the critters I see. Ha!
I love places when you can see a lot and have so many photo opportunities.
I agree with Theresa, the ripples in that last shot and his mouth open make a lovely shot.
I really like the turtle too though.
Have a great weekend Eileen!
All great views Eileen! Wonderful post :)
This is a wonderful time of year to view wildlife. Terrific photographs, Eileen! Love the turtle and Horned Grebe captures, though they all are fantastic! Sounds and looks like you had a very enjoyable walk. Thanks for sharing such beauty!
Great critters you found.. Like that white tail
Love the bird photos especially...but I must say the Potomac is such a beautiful part of our country. Excellent images Eileen.
They're all great shots, but I love the turtle shot! =)

You have a nice place to go for a walk. There are amazing animals around!
I love the grebe shot--it almost looks mystical with the the blurring between water and sky.
love those cute little turtles. you always share the most diverse group of animals!!
i hope you are having a wonderful sunday!!
Like the slider turtle. I get these confused with a painted turtle.
We have these at my lake where I walk each morning.
my favourite is the grebe
What a great series!
