Saturday's Critter's #47
Happy weekend everyone! I am looking forward to seeing everyone's critters this week..I appreciate everyone who has linked up in the past and for those who are linking in on this week's critter party.
I am sharing more the birds and gulls seen on the beach at Ocean City, Maryland.
I love the look on the closest Tern..The Black Skimmer in the rear look like juveniles, they are a brownish color instead of the black color of the adult..
What Gull? I was thinking maybe a juvie Herring Gull. Edited, I now believe these gulls are the juvenile Laughing Gull.
A closer look at the Black Skimmer's bill.
I am not sure if this flock of birds flying by were the Black Ducks or DC Cormorants..I hope you enjoyed seeing more birds from Ocean City Maryland...

That tern in the foreground just made me laugh out loud. He looks wild and crazy. Love the skimmers -- they just fascinate me.
Hi, dearest Eileen; as I wrote in the blog, I'm busy and going out and won't be back until late night tomorrow.
I'll comment you after coming back reading your post:-)
Please do not post this comment, Dear friend.
Love,xoxo Miyako*
Hi Eileen, I loved the surprised look on the tern's face. Great photos all round. Have a wonderful weekend. Greetings Jo
There's a definite autumn (fall) feel to those photos. It's lovely to see the Skimmers again - a bird I hope to see one day with their unusual bills!
There are all great photos! I'm with you, the look on the Tern's face in the first photo is priceless!
HI Eileen great shots of the birds by the sea.Love the Skimmers. Now unless your Us juvenile Herring Gulls are different from the UK ones, the legs are too dark on them be be Herring but I do not know what they are. Thanks for hosting. Have a great weekend.
Great photos Eileen. I have been enjoying your beach shots. Thanks for hosting and have a great weekend.
I enjoy seeing birds as much as finding mushrooms.
Superb shots of flock of birds.
Line up guys, keep your heads looking straight ahead, lovely, and the wind ruffles in the first photo, a winner. Jean
I love the Black Skimmer, it shows us what america is, beautiful.
Hello Eileen.
Beautiful pictures of The Black Skimmer.
All perfectly photographed, my compliments.
I wish you a very good weekend.
Best regards, Irma
Um verdadeiro show de fotos! Lindas todas! bjs, ótimo fim de semana,chica
Hello Eileen,
Very great shots!! The last is fantastic with the splashing water.
Well done!!
Kind regards,
Marco
Ocean City Maryland!! I love that place. It's been ages since I've been there too.
That tern seems to be saying "Are you lookin' at me?"
Good morning Eileen. Thanks for allowing me to join in your critter day.
I'm really taken with that picture of the Laughing Gulls lining up for their picture like that.
That sea looks a bit wild and windy, almost like here. Take care and enjoy your weekend.
Love these bird shots and would love to be by the ocean too :)
I so enjoy the skimmers, they have a comical look with the oversized bills. So cute!
Dearest Eileen ,I come back and I am glad that I am linking with your post ! Thank you so much for the hosting !

Gorgeous shots! I love the second one - looks like they made a special formation for you! :)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Lovely views of the beach inhabitants, especially the Royal Terns.
Great photos, Eileen ! And these are so gorgeous birds !
Have a nice weekend :)
Thanks for the critter party again Eileen. I love your gulls this week!

Cool sightings of the terns and gulls, neither of which I have ever seen in person so you can be sure I'm jealous. ;))
Love the Skimmers! Those bills are so impressive. Nice collection of shorebirds!
I had to look up Laughing Gull - never heard of him before! Actually, I had n o idea there were so many different gulls around NE NA!
I have only seen the skimmers one time in my life, a flock at the beach. of course gulls are everywhere, even at Walmart... but i still love pics of them...
such a cute, impudent look on that first tern! love the skimmers. these are all birds i definitely don't get to see here. :) thanks, eileen!
You give a new appreciation to the gulls at a waterfront Eileen.
Have a great weekend.
I like the Tern as well! He's looking a little mussed. Those Skimmers are such interesting looking birds!
I like the one where they are standing in a circle. They're probably discussing their attack plan on tourists for the day.
My hubby has so many pictures of gulls from our visits to California. But they are really interesting.
The Skimmers are so cool with those bi-colored bills.
Wonderful, (again) photos . . . I love all the day trips and your longer vacations because ii get to go along with you by seeing your photos. I have learned a bit too.
I love the way the beach birds all face the wind together.

I luv seeing the surf. I can c it & picture or imagine the sounds too! ( :
happy weekend
beautiful shore birds, always remind me of home!!!!
Beautiful birds!!! Super photos! thanks for hosting. Wish you a nice weekend!
Nice bird pics! I'm hoping to get a post up today that actually has some critters!! :) So I'll be able to join the party.
Hello Eileen!!Great shot of those beautiful birds!I like the Skimmers!Lovely birds, i have never seen before!Gorgeous pictures!Have a happy weekend!
Dimi...
Great photos, I love the tern in the foreground of the first photo. I don't know laughing gulls, but I'm certain your juvie gulls aren't herring gulls....
Love the skimmer's bills! Very interesting. And yes...laughing gulls! My hubby loved showing them to our grandson when we were back east. He's been raised seeing them all his life, being a Norfolk native. I love their name! Really great photos, Eileen! Happy to be joining in again this week.
Very pretty birds. The skimmers have strange looking bills. Enjoy your weekend!
I did indeed enjoy seeing the Ocean City birds, Eileen. You never disappoint. What interesting bills on the Black Skimmers, and the Laughing Gulls were wonderful. I've never seen them (or at least, known what I was seeing). Thanks so much for hosting! Have a wonderful weekend!
Hello Eileen! I've never seen before such amazing faces of ocean birds from so up close... we have, as well, some gulls at the Black Sea, but their size and appearance is definitely different!! So great... Now that i've saw these images I wished "to be on a shore and to follow a bird"...just like in a summer poem! A happy weekend, too!
Nice assortment of gulls. Quite an impressive beak on that Black Skimmer!
Very nice. I love the 'formation' in the second photo !
I lived close to the Atlantic shore when I lived in Brooklyn, NY, Eileen, and I miss hearing the seagulls overhead.
I love watching sea gulls...except when they steal my lunch! I had one take a chip (fries) as i was putting into my mouth!
Great images.
Those are neat looking birds!
I love seeing shore birds from other places. Those orange and black bills are so strange looking, but I'm sure they do the job.
Hello Eileen,
I would love to see Black Skimmers for myself! They are quite impressive with their strong beaks!
Your picture are a real smack from the sea!! LOL!!
Enjoy your sunday!
I like the look the tern is giving you. I'm always intrigued to see gulls all facing the same way
I love the seashore! Nice views of the gulls and skimmers. Better late than never-- I was traveling all day yesterday but it is nice to be back home in Florida.
Love that look on the tern's face. So inquisitive... as if he is thinking to himself "what in the world are you? you look interesting!" Great photos, Eileen.
Hi Eileen,
My critter isn't real nor is he little however I wanted to come along and play on Saturday. I noticed this little bird you have and read about the black bill, when he opens his bill it looks like he has a fish in it. Nice shots, and I was thinking of you yesterday when I tried to get an amazing shot at a bird sitting outside our RV window. I later looked it up and it is a Magpie native to the area we are in right now. Thanks for the party
What pretty birds. I love that last shot with the spray.
Interesting birds! I love the first shot!
Love those Black Skimmers...:)JP
I´m still so impressed by these terns. Love their heads and bills.
Those Skimmers are wonderful looking birds Eileen. I'd love to see one of them.
Birds are amazing. Such great diversity.
Hi again Eileen...
Just wanted to thank you for sharing your link to this post at I'd Rather B Birdin'.
Have a great day.
Ohhhh ..... what a nice pictures Eileen. Especially the 2nd picture and the 3rd picture I find very beautiful. The birds in the 3rd picture I know all Neit and have therefore never seen this.
Hello,Dearest Eileen; Wow, Ocean City in Maryland seems like sanctuary for birds. I was really fascinated with your picture of the Black Skimmer's bill, how unique with colorful design♫♫♫
I hope you are having a wonderful new week.
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Beautiful bird captures, all of them!
