I am linking up with Green Day and Camera Critters and I'd-Rather-B-Birdin.
I have been at work all week so these are more shots from our visit to Ocean City and Assateague Island National Seashore and beyond. The beyond is more from shots from the Delaware Indian River inlet. I did not have any target birds to see at either place I was just happy to be there.

The Sanderlings were the first bird I saw on the beach at Assateague. The Sanderling on the front left looks cute, like he is marching along. I was happy to see a Gannet way out in the ocean with my binocs. We also saw a flock of Cormorants flying by, at least I think they were Cormorants.

The Assateague wild ponies are always a treat to see and they are the main attraction for most people that visit the park.
Above is one of the many Assateague wild ponies on the Maryland side of the island It was my favorite horse, I believe it is a Pinto.

I thought it was funny to see the horses standing in line for the restrooms. Looks like one just came out the other is waiting to go in.

A few more of the horses, in this shot you can make out someone's yellow/orange tent in the right side of the photo.

The horses are free to roam thru the national seashore in the shot above they are walking thru the campsites.There are signs around warning people that the horses are wild and not to be fed. Driving around the roads in Assateague I also saw and heard so many Yellow Rump Warblers.
I hope you enjoyed my visit to the ocean and Assateague Island National Seashore.

What a fantastic post! My step-daughter's husband took her there to surprise her one year, as she has a deep love for horses.
That first photo of your favorite horse is absolutely gorgeous!

Hallo Eileen!Gorgeous photos! I love the horses !!So beautiful birds!Have a lovely weekend-December month my dear!
Dimi..
The wild Ponies are beautiful! It would be really neat to have them wandering close by, although I'm not sure I'd want to be in line for the restroom behind one of them;)
I look forward to seeing the long tailed ducks at this time of year. The ponies are gorgeous and look so very well kept (especially for being wild!)
aweinspiring
Beautiful shots! Love that first horse, he/she is just gorgeous!!
Awesome photos! I believe years and years ago, I read a book called "Misty of Chincoteague"...about one of the wild ponies.
Those beautiful Long-tailed Ducks would be lifers for me Eileen and your shot of the Sanderlings is awesome! The ponies are cool too. I like the shot of them standing at the restrooms ;-)
I never know what I'll find at your blog! Wild horses!! Extra cool! They are so beautiful. Love the adorable birds, too!
Suas fotos são sempre um encantamento!
um ótimo fim de semana

Eileen,
Não dá pra descrever com palavras, o quanto são belas as suas fotos.
Minhas duas paixões: pássaros e cavalos estão nesse lindo post.
Um lindo Domingo. Abraços.
LOL....I LOVE the pony photo where they're in the kiosk. That, is the epitome of a picture paints a 1000 words.
Great photos Eileen, as always.
Thanks for linking up this week at the Bird D'Pot. Have a glorious week ahead!
What a treat to see and know that these ponies are living in the wild!
Gorgeous photos.
these are all such great shots
I love the marching bird
and the horses!! they're beautiful
so wonderful to see them free and happy
Your travels into nature are amazing. I would love to see the wild horses. I had horses as a kid and still miss them.
Thanks also for stopping by and visiting the Eagle. He's here again this morning. What a treat.
BlessYourHeart
Marvelous horses!
Great pictures. The ducks look more like decoys than real ducks.
a great and interesting post. :)
Marvelous pictures! I really like horses and birds!
Very good post!!!
In all the time we lived in Virginia I never got up to Assateague, and I would have loved doing so! We got down to Corolla NC a couple of times, at least. The ponies are wonderful! And I am glad you heard the Yellow-rumped warbler. Love the bathroom shot! :-)
Wowww.. beautiful photos as always. I enjoyed this post.
