I am linking up with Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday
This weekend hubby and I took our walk along the C&O Canal and to see the Great Falls in Maryland. The first thing I noticed looking across the Potomac River were a pair of Bald Eagles at a nest. Other birds seen along the river were the Canada Geese and some Mallards.
It is always a treat for me to see the eagles. I am happy that they seem to be doing so well.
Some scenic shots from Great Falls National Park, Md. It is a simple pleasure to go out for a walk and enjoy nature scenes and to look for birds.
Snow, ice and rushing water at the Great Falls National Park in Maryland.
Hooded Mergansers at a local Maryland lake.
Three male Hooded Merganser with two female Hooded Mergansers.
Mixed group of Canada geese and some Common Mergansers.
It was a warmer weekend, Sunday we had temps in the mid 50's and it was partly cloudy. It was nice to be able to go out for a walk and not have to worry about snow and ice. I hope everyone had a great weekend.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I always appreciate your comments.

Lovely collages!
Maryland has so much to offer for waterfowl and eagles too! Our adults have returned and will hopefully have another successful nest!...:)JP
Beautiful collection of pictures
Have a nice week :)
You must get chill bumps watching the eagles fly around and feeding their young in the nest!!
the river fun is beautiful too!! Wild and cold!! Nice shots!!
I enjoyed your walk, especially the eagle nest! :)
the falls are beautiful. the mergansers made me laugh. just love those eagles!
What a thrill it must be to see the Eagles in person. I am thrilled just seeing your photos! Great shots . . .
Lucky you to see the bald eagles!
I like your pictures! I think I've been there, but I'm still confused with all the different parks of the area!
Happy new month!
So beautiful photos!!
Have a great week!
i will make sure to write this National Park down to see ... that waterfall is amazing!! have you heard that bald eagles on getting low again? i wonder if they will be on the "endangered list" again? i see them all the time. ( :
Wow, the merganser numbers are more impressive than ours. Lots of great looks at these. Great job on the eagles, too!
It looks like you had perfect weather for taking pictures.
I always get a bit of a thrill when I see a bald eagle or hear their particular cry.
I managed to see a bald eagle fly across the highway on our drive to Florida. It was a first for me to see one in the wild but there was no camera op unfortunately. It would be interesting to watch a pair at their nest.
Love that waterfall. It looks different in winter. Gorgeous...
Seeing the eagles had to be a huge treat... WOW.
Hugs,
Betsy
Love the falls shots! Very scenic. I've never seen an eagle's nest. They're very cool and the size is amazing!
A beautiful place for a walk. The rushing water in the midst of the wintry landscape is so pretty. How great to see the eagles nesting, too. There are lots of them in our area. Always a welcome sight.
Great Falls isn't that far from me, and you've reminded me that I should go there--It's a beautiful place in any season--And seeing eagles never gets old for me either.
Great Falls is as beautiful in winter as it was when we were there. Unfortunately we didn't see any eagles when we visited.
Gorgeous! I love the photos of the eagles! Fantastic!
So happy you could get out and enjoy the surrounding beauty. The eagles are grand. Thanks for sharing with us.
You take the best walks and see the most amazing wildlife!! Seeing the eagles is such an exciting and memorable experience!!
Wasn't it just beautiful day?! We had a great outing as well even though we didn't see the seals!!
These are pure magic! Thank you, Eileen.
Such wild beauty there! Your collages are very nice as always.
LOVE your shots here! and how awesome to get the shots of the eagles. such amazing and powerful birds these are. we ocassionally have a pair of eagles around our cabin, but havent seen them this year.
Oh wonderful photos. It is nice to see places we might never get to go to ourselves. Love the ducks.
Wonderful collage and collections Eileen.
Have a great new week.
xo

Dimi...
Super photos Eileen, loved seeing the eagles on their nest. What a treat! I haven't as yet seen Great Falls from the Maryland side yet, always been on the Virginia side. Need to rectify that situation :)
Lovely photos....these eagles are really special!
Have a great week,
Ruby
Wonderful photos of the birds and marvelous pictures of the water. Great !
Have a nice new week, Eileen.
Best regards, Synnöve
Amazing mosaics, Eileen! I've never seen Hooded Mergansers; their name suits them perfectly! The photos of the falls, the movement of the water amid the landscape are beautiful!
Thanks for sharing and have a lovely week!
Poppy
Wonderful Bald Eagle shots and I love the shots of that raging water!!
Hello Eileen,
Bald and Fish eagles are generally hardy and efficient... if man leaves them alone!!
But I think it is the case now in many places around the world.
That is surely exiting to see a pair by a nest! It is huge!
Cheers, keep well!
Wow!
Fantastic waterfalls. Beautiful and interesting birds.
Beautiful pictures.
Greetings.
Lucia
Beautiful collection of pictures, Eileen.
Have a great week!
You clearly had a nice walk. Yeah!
I love seeing Bald Eagles! And the shots of the falls are really pretty too. Have a great day!
Beautiful photography! The photos of the Bald Eagles and falls are amazing! Thanks for sharing!
The eagles look great. Such majestic birds.
The Bald Eagles are magnificent and I really like the scenic photos of the river waters.
A beautiful place with some great birds. Of course I like the Bald Eagles best!
HI Eileen Great to see and photograph the eagles and you certainly have a lot of Wildfowl. Love the collage.
Love to see nests of birds even to the point that I painted one! The eagles have a nice home:)
Gorgeous place and photography ~ love the bald eagles ~ You find the best places ~ thanks ~

Fantastic mosaics. I especially love the one of the eagle.
Gorgeous shots of the bald eagle pairs and the mallard ducks are just beautiful!
Hi Eileen, I sure do hope to visit MD some day. Your pictures are just wonderful. Those Bald Eagles are fantastic - great photo's! My ancestors were early colonists in MD so I am interested in the history and the wildlife. Have a great Tuesday tomorrow!
Great shots of the rushing water. How neat to see the pair of eagles.
Oh how lucky you are to see the eagles!! Great shots.
I've been there, but never seen eagles. Nice shots, it's a beautiful place.
love the ducks.
Wonderful shots from the park. What a treat to see the bald eagles and the nests. I keep meaning to go to Jordan Lake which is only 25 miles from where I live to find the bald eagle nests that are on a live cam I watch online. Silly to be so close and only see them on the live cam. I've been to that lake before but not in a long time and that was before I realized that bald eagles nest there.
Those hooded mergansers are magnificent. I looked them up, and I see some of them visit us for the winter. I'll keep an eye out.
WHat a gift to see so many eagles. Lovely shots.
Beautiful collection of photos!
Wonderful set of images. I like the family on the tree.
Beautiful scenes. I do wonder how the birds survive in the cold snowy weather. I scrolled back and saw poor bambi stuck on the ice. Hopefully all was well with him.
Have a wonderful week, and thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday.
Dearest Eileen;
OMG, what a splendid walk♡♡♡ I wish I coud enoy the beauty of the winter like this, my friend. Hooded Merganser s kind of my favorite p;)
And I must add that was really stunned by your GORGEOUS pictures of your Critters #9 ♪♪♪
Sending you lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
How wonderful to see the eagles like that with seemingly not a care in the world. The hoodies are such striking and fabulous lookers. Enjoy the rest of your week Eileen.

Great shots, loved them all and oh I am getting happy for we might be heading to BE territory soon, I hope ;)
Don't you love those mergansers?!!!
And eagles.
I swear I am the only amateur photographer in Ontario who has failed to spot a Snowy Owl in the recent irruption. sigh.
I bet those eagles are watching babies in that nest...!
It is nice to get out for a walk -- glad you had at least a brief respite in your weather.
Beautiful scenes. What a treat to see the eagels!
They are simply beautiful,so regal,thanks for sharing,I hope to see them one day,phyllis
What a breathtaking place.
