I am linking up with Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday
A mixed post our trip photos and today a Happy Birthday to my son!
I am sharing more birds and scenery from the Outer Banks and our stay at Nags Head, North Carolina.. The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful and we had some warm 70 degree days.. The birding was awesome..ducks, swans and pelicans were everywhere.
Above a series of the first evening's sunset and the moon...
The Willet and sunrise above was seen on the beach in front of our hotel..
Above is the Bodie Island lighthouse and some birds we saw at the Pea Island NWR. Seen above are the American Avocet, Tundra Swans, American Wigeon, possibly an American Pipit and Song Sparrow?
The Ruddy Duck population seems to be doing very well, we must have seen thousands of them.. I like their cute upturned tail...
We heard a Rail twice near or under this boardwalk...a pretty view of the Bodie Island Lighthouse. This was a wonderful spot to see the birds..
A mosaic of various photos of Brian over the years.. Today happens to be my son's 22nd birthday.. Happy Birthday Brian!
I hope you can join in on our fun at Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday

Wonderful sunsets and birds, Eileen, and the mosaic of photos of your son is truly heartwarming.
Happy birthday, Brian!
Love your header, too...
Beautiful place with such lovely views.
Happy 22nd birthday to Brian.
Your photos are beautiful. I wonder when you were there (I guess not this week as we have a full moon). Have a good week!
Great shots of Nag Heads, N.Carolina. The birds are great too especially the one at sunrise.
Love the mosaic you've done to celebrate your son's birthday. Very special. You find the most wonderful places to visit. Lovely!
A happy birthday to Brian. You found some super light for your pictures Eileen and I just love the sunset shots.
Have a great week ahead.
First, happy birthday to Brian. He was a lucky boy to grow up with such outdoorsy and nature-loving parents. As for your photos, they are absolutely stunning. I caught one Virginia Rail once, before I even knew what they are. I've looked for one ever since. Some birders, who like you, know their sound, watched with me for a long time one day, but those grassy, marshy areas are wonderful hiding spots. Have a wonderful rest of your day, Eileen!
Dearest Eileen; Oh, Happy birthday to your son and loved sweet collage of him♡♡♡
Wonderful sky shots and birds, I always admire you and marvelous place Nags Head is(^_^)ｖ
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Very, very nice ! I love the first 4 !
Great shots of the ducks and a super moon shot..Was it dark when you took that?? Happy Birthday Brian!!
What wonderful compositions of Nags Head. Nothing quite like light over the water! Happy Birthday to your son.
Breathtaking photography Eileen! Makes me wish for the beach and water! Happy Birthday to your son.
Hi Eileen, Wonderfully photographed wildlife and scenery (Moon, too!). I sure enjoy seeing pictures of Ruddy Ducks. Have a pleasant day tomorrow and a really nice week ahead!
Happy Birthday to Brian!
Birdie Island! Wonderful pics.

oh, lovely mosaic
Happy Birthday, Brian.
You are fortunate your husband likes to hike and look for birds too Eileen and over the years you've visited many great areas.
Poor Brian, all your lady friends checking him out on FB and your blog. Hope he had a great BD.
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.
Beautiful shots! Love that moon.
Happy Birthday to Brian! Great collage of his photos.
Love, love the blue sky in your outdoor photos. The willet is a bird I've never heard of. I learn so much about birds from your blog.
Happy birthday to Brian!
I loved this area of the Outer Banks when we visited this past summer. I'd love to go back someday during this time of the year, as it must be much less crowded and yet even more scenic!
Eileen, your photos of NC are wonderful! The tourist department should be hiring you to take their photos for them, they're so inviting!
And Happy, Happy Birthday toyour son Brian, he's a handsome young man, and I've no doubt you're very proud of him!
Happy Birthday to your son. They grow up so fast!!
I was going to say that the top right picture of the sun looks like a star, and thought it IS a star. : )
Looks like your son had an AWESOIME birthday! LOVE Love love your photos - As well as the birds, I'm a sucker for sunsets and lighthouses so this post ticks all the boxes!!
Wonderful photography as always, some of my favourite things, sunrises and sunsets, ocean, lighthouses & birds!
Hello Eileen,
WOW!!! those sunset photos are glorious!
Brilliant shots of the waders, the Ruddy ducks look very tired!!
Happy birthday to your son, 22 is a wonderful age!
Keep well, hugs from France!
Happy birthday to your son! :)
Piękny zachód słońca,cudowne zdjęcia,pozdrawiam.
Beautiful photos Eileen. Happy Birthday to Brian......the years whiz by so fast don't they!
Enjoy your week,
Ruby
Happy Birthday to your son!
Beautiful photos of your trip, Eileen. I love lighthouses, and the one in your pictures is so pretty with the autumn grasses before it!
Happy Monday!

What a lovely tribute to your son and I love this place in your pictures...perfect ocean scenes.
Lighthouses are a favorite of mine. This one is beautiful. Looks like a great family time was had. I enjoyed your post.
Beautiful Eileen. You now have comment moderation? Bummer.
Oh, and loved the wonderful array of charming, fabulous images. Especially the lighthouse and boardwalk.
Hope your son has a fantastic celebration of life today.
I do love your sunset skies and all of your captures are delightful as always, Eileen! Such a lovely place! Thanks for sharing the beauty! Have a great new week!
He's all grown up .... and very handsomely too! Wonderful selection of birds from your visit to the shore. The willet is so pretty lifting it's dainty little feet. And I would so love to see an avocet again. For some reason I miss them everywhere.
Gorgeous photos! What a great trip!
What a great collection of photos of you son. Hope he had a happy birthday.
Your beach trip shots are great.
Thank you for taking us along on your road trip.
the sky mosaic is incredible and thanks for including a collage of your son through the years.
Worth a Thousand Words

Wow - what a lovely series of sky and bird shots. And a happy b-day to your son!
gorgeous sunsets and beach views. I would love to have a view from my house of the water.
Is it your son's birthday on 7 December? - that is my grandson's birthday. He has just turned 8.
Have a wonderful week Eileen, and thank you for stopping by my blog.
