I appreciate everyone who has linked up in the past and for those who are linking in on this week's critter party. And of course I always appreciate my blogging friends stopping by just for a visit.
I am sharing some birds and critters from a local park called Hashawha Nature Center..This park has some great trails and we always seem to see some kind of wildlife during our walks. On this day we saw birds, deer and lots of turtles..
A pretty Eastern Bluebird
A White-tailed Deer
White-throated Sparrows and a Goldfinch bathing in the puddles.
These turtles could be the Red-eared Slider. It has a red stripe on each side of its head.. Their name comes from their ability to slide off rock and logs easily.
A Canada Goose popped it's head up out of the grass as we walked by..
Not sure if these are more Red-eared Sliders or are they the Painted Turtle?
The Redwing Blackbirds are common for this park, especially near the marsh land. I hope you enjoyed my birds and critters. I am looking forward to your critters..Thank you for the visits and for all the nice comments.. As always I appreciate your participating with my critter party..Have a happy weekend!

A red winged black bird once attacked the top of my head. Lucky I was wearing a cap!
Wow - you have a great selection of critters at your park! I love the way the goldfinch is a splash of bright yellow in your photo!
Hello Eileen,
another set of images of the extraordinary that fauna surrounds you!
aren't the Red-eared Slider turtle considered feral? even so, I find them very pretty :)
The Redwing Blackbird is gorgeous although they are quite common, but funny enough, I don't remember seeing any when I was in North Carolina...
Great post!
Keep well and enjoy your WE!
All such wonderful critter shots, Eileen! Especially the painted turtles.
Love the turtle photos!
Hi Eileen - I like your line-up of critters today!
Awesome photos Eileen.

and the red winged as well. they always seem to pick those grassy type perches, all of which work great for images.

Hi Eileen, I love the bluebird - such a beautiful shade of blue. Cute shot of the birds taking a bath! I finally have some critter shots to share! Happy Mothers Day and thank you for hosting!
The two turtles on the bark of the tree are so cute! Happy weekend to you:)
Happy Weekend to you also, Eileen!
The birds (with the possible exception of the Blackbird) and critters in your photos, which are super cute, remind me of our own neck of the woods. It is a true blessing to be amidst such a joyous environment.
Thank you for hosting.
Have a Great One!
Peace :)

Great variety today Eileen...and in my opinion the two top photos are the best...the blue bird and the deer.
The Eastern Bluebird and Redwing Blackbird are gorgeous!
birds, deer and TURTLES!!!! can't get any better than that!! :)
happy sunday & mom day!!
Beautiful shots. Love to hear and see the Red-winged Blackbird. Cute sliding/stacking turtles.
I wonder whether all these critters are as busy as us. We have to sacrifice something in order to get the others.
How about them?
What a beautiful variety of different birds, amazing shots.

What a lovely walk and so many great critters. Thanks for sharing :)
Wonderful photos, Eileen! Not joining in this time, but will check on a few of the posts. Will be back next week.
Hi Eileen,
A magnificent Visual feast, thanks to your passion for the craft.
I always love turtle shots...and just enjoy nature shots in general. Those sparrows sure look like they are enjoying themselves!
What a wonderful assortment of critters. Hope you had a great Mother's Day.
Love those turtles!
Pretty little bluebird! Goldfinches look like they'd have more class then to bathe in puddles! ;)
I think the turtles in the second picture are painted turtles.
