Saturday's Critters #22
Hello & Happy weekend everyone!
Another Saturday has rolled around and it's time to share your critters. I am looking forward to visiting and seeing everyone's critter post.
My critters are from a few weeks ago when we visited the local Hashawha Nature Center.
This goose seem to be on guard when we walked past..
A pretty male Mallard floating in the lake among his reflection and lily pads.
I was amazed to see how many turtles were out sunning themselves. Everywhere we look at the lake and wetlands the turtles were there.
I am guessing here, but I believe this is called the Midland Painted Turtle, a native turtle of North American, It skin has orange or yellow stripes.
A Canada Goose was sitting on a nest at the nature center. I hope you enjoyed my critter post. Now, I want to see your critters.. I wish everyone a happy weekend.
Thank you for linking up to the critter party. I appreciate the visits, comments and the support of my blogging friends..

It looks like all the critters were out for your visit. The geese and Mr. Mallard are awesome. I love seeing the turtles out basking in the warm sun. Have a great weekend!
Oh the birds are wonderful - and the turtles - oh the turtles. I've never seen one in the wild - what a treat that would be.
I love the cute chubby goose with different appearance from ours♡♡♡ Happy seeing the mallard which we have in our city park and you taught me the name(^_^)v
Oh, I asked my husband if he knew the reason of the sunning of turtles. He said a couple of reasons and made me check with pc. Surprised to know many reasons p;)
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Hallo Eileen

Those turtles are so gorgeous. How lucky to spot so many. Thanks for hosting this fun weekly blog hop.
Hi Eileen-love your critters this week.....especially those sunning turtles. I'd LOVE to bask in some sunshine---endless rain here-it's been dismal the whole week. Ah well-hopefully next week!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Great shots, love the turtle on his own, happy weekend.
HI Eileen Looks like a lovely Nature centre and all your shots are great. I am glad you found the Goose on her nest. There will be goslings hopefully to follow. Have a wonderful weekend. I traveled throw 7 different counties yesterday and am at my fist stop and was able to link myself.
What a great series of critters. I love the Canada Goose and the Turtle.
The turtles are everywhere.
Because you are everywhere as well.
The chance of being a superstar is thus high.

The turtles are so cute enjoying the sun. Happy critter day, Eileen, and thank you for hosting!
Love the emerald green of the male mallard

Everybody's Spring seems to be weeks ahead of us. It is still cold here and I have yet to see a turtle sunning itself, though they do all around us when there is sun. I love seeing this collection of spring happenings and am so glad you have them going on near you. Nice post Eileen.

Beautiful photos of the turtles.
Hi Eileen, Thanks for letting us know the name of the turtle. I think that the ones I have been seeing around here are maybe the same. I really like the picture of the Canada Goose on the nest. Have a very good Sunday tomorrow!
Very nice ! I love the turtles
Dearest Eileen , thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures !

Wonderful varieties, Eileen. Enjoying each of them. Admire your shots!
I always love seeing your critters, Eileen! Especially the birds.
Thanks for hosting.
Lovely shots - those turtles are delightful!
I like that pile of turtles!
Great shot of the turtle hugging the log! I've never seen a goose nest. They're quite large.
I would love to see a different turtle other than the red-eared slider. These are great!!! Although late, I think I will go ahead and link up to your critter party today! Thank you for doing this. :)
Beautiful pictures!
I love all the shown critters, but Mallard duck is my favourite - now... This beautiful duck... is the only that I can say that I know to recognise her... on the lake...lol! But I'm still learning about it... Hugs&thanks!
Very nice but you goose turtles are great. What a different color to that of the red shield. I think that's great to see :-)))))
Very nice week.
I love turtles so I enjoyed these pictures very much. I so wish there were turtles in our lakes here :)
turtles are cool animals. Fun to watch as we don´t have any in Sweden.
I love the light on all of these.
Great Critters, Eileen! I didn't know you had a meme...I'll have to join in when I can. Love the turtle particularly.
