I have a list below of memes I am joining for this week, and to save time I am doing one post for all. They are all fun memes to participate in...I hope you can join in with the fun and check out some of the participating posts. Special thanks to all the wonderful host and their memes, I hope you have some time to check them out.
I am sure some of you have already seen these images on my facebook page weeks ago.I have a few of my post scheduled ahead of time, this was from an earlier trip on Aug 5th, hubby and I went to Bombay Hook NWR, we drove the wildlife drive twice. We had to stay in the car during the whole visit, the skeeters and flies were horrible. So all my photos were taken from the car window.
Above the Orchard Oriole family seen at Bombay Hook NWR in Delaware.
A juvenile Orchard Oriole is waiting on the adult male for food.
The mosaic above has my favorite Green Heron on the top row and the bottom are the juvenile Little Blue Herons and a Great Blue Heron all seen at the Finnis Pool almost at the end of the wildlife drive at Bombay Hook NWR.
The Green Heron will always be one of my favorite herons. For our viewing enjoyment this Green Heron sat in the same spot for quite a while.
Above are the Great Egrets and some Snowy Egret along with the American Avocets.
My NF tree is decorated with Egrets and a couple of Tri-colored Herons. On this day the Egrets were the most common bird during our visit.

Hi Eileen, Wonderful pictures of the Orchard Orioles (so beautiful) and the exciting Green Herons. Great pictures. Sorry you had bug troubles but it is that time of year. My friend politely reminded me to keep bug spray or repellant cream in my car's glove box so I'd have some when I was near swamps or marshes and mosquitos/no see ums. Have a pleasant coming week! Happy birding!
What a splendid collection of photos, nicely done!
Nature there is so varied and incredibly beautiful. If you like you can link up with the new edition of "Through My Lens". Link is below.

Hi Eileen--love all the egrets in that tree--that must have been neat to come across.
Sorry you had troubles with the mosquitoes. They've been horrible here this year as well.
Have a good week

Great to see the Green Heron, years ago I saw one. Tom The Backroads Traveller
Wow! Beutiful birds and wildlife. I wouldnt know that these are taken inside the car. Have nice week!
Wonderful photos and mosaics, Eileen!
Thank you for sharing and have a lovely week!
you find beautiful critters
VERY nice photos and if taken from your car window I have a slight suspicion that your car is cleaner than mine :)
Hi Eileen,
fabulous photos of all these birds. Incredible, all done from the car !
Wow. So pretty.
Have a nice new week too.
Best regards, Synnöve
Love the Orioles . . . juvies and older . . .
I wish mosquitoes and flies had never been invented . . .
Great photos Eileen!
Just beautiful. We have great blue herons here and I love them. We also get white egrets which are a lovely treat to see.
Such good results through the window Eileen. Looks a great place to visit. x
this place looks a lot like our swamps here. i love that last shot of the tree decorated with white birds.. to cool... we are fighting mosquitoes here because it was the wettest summer on record
Hi! The green heron is very impressive. The white egret photos are very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Truly beautiful
Greetings
I love that egret tree! All beautiful photos , your car made a great blind! Thanks for braving the mosquito and fly storms .. You must have had to roll your windows down to get these clear beautiful images!
They are all great. How pretty those Orioles are. And I love Herons, they are just....odd.
Bombay Hook must be a wonderful spot. Your images when you visit this area are always lovely. Love the heron tree! Happy Monday!
Great collection of bird photos! I especially like the green heron closeup.
A great collection of birds photos. My favourite one it the last one.
all of these wonderful pictures are great for the meme's!! the trees in the first set had no leaves, that's odd for this time of year but perfect for your images!!!
what a great birding spot, the herons and egrets are amazing!!!!
Eileen, great photos, as always...the small birds are my favorites.
Good series. I like the 2 and the last,
Happy monday Eileenin ;)
Besos.
All very lovely photos, you sure know how and where to find them!
What a delightful collection of birds, Eileen! I love how they congregate together. The orioles are striking.
Beautiful birds all around.
Eileen, Great bird shots, you must have a great lens. The green heron was cooperative, very good. Thanks for sharing. Sylvia D.
Love that green heron and all those other birds. I had such a wonderful time at Bombay Hook, I really should go again.
The Orchard Orioles are so pretty, and Egrets always look very elegant and graceful to me. I dislike mosquito, too, Eileen. They always come after me with a vengeance!
Gorgeous photos! Love the Green Heron especially!
Love your birds!
oh I love those birds, the yellow one is so bright and colourful, hope you're having a great day :-)
Certainly enjoyed the ride through the Bombay NWR with you and hubby!! Great photos of the Orioles, Herons, Egrets and Avocets!! Thank you for the beautiful ride!! Mary Ann
Like you, I like to combine memes to make life easier....I hope someday to see a green heron...what a beautiful bird. Have a great week my friend!
Wonderful series !
Wonderful birdie pics, Eileen. And I have to say "Bombay Hook" sounds like a beer I'd try at a tasting.

The diversity of wildlife is mindblowing. I wonder if there is an App that would recognise various species and identify them for people like me who know little?
looks so green. ( :
That must be a fantastic place to visit if you can see and photograph all those birds from the car. Great photos and I especially like all those water birds with their reflections in the water.
It would seem we have green herons in Ontario from the talk the guy at the lavender farm gave so now I'm on a mission to see one here. My first was in Florida and of course always cute guys on your blog to enjoy.
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday Eileen.
Awesome photos of these lovely birds. The last one is simply stunning!
beautiful birds! love the watery scenes!
I don't think I've ever seen so many egrets on one tree! Your shot of the Green Heron is amazing and the Orioles were a treat. Lovely collection for the collages.
Oh you live near the best places to visit..I love the green herons but am not seeing them as often as previous years... Michelle
Wow- awesome photos Eileen! Love the colorful orioles and the herons. You must have a very good telephoto lens to bring them in so close?
Wonderful shots!
Very cool photos, Eileen!
I think the Oriole not only has a great name, but also looks so pretty.
I take it the yellow one is the adult and the brownish one is the youngun.
Have a Beautiful Week!
Peace :)
Great images and collages, Eileen!
Great photos Eileen! I too love the Green Heron, and you got some wonderful shots of such a special bird :)
Wendy
Spectacular photos. Love the little green!
Estupendas imágenes... Un saludo desde Murcia...
Good collection of pictures. How many time we see the pictures it will not get bored...
An amazing collection. I love the green heron.
Great set of shots - really liked seeing the Avocets when I was in the US - nice to see some more.
Cheers - Stewart M - Jakarta (for this week!)
Your favorite heron poses handsomely. Those snowy egrets look angelic on those branches. Your post is always bounty with natural treasures.
Green Herons are my favourite birds! I didn't get to see an Orchard Oriole this year! Boo Hoo!
I LOVE that egret tree! Makes me smile. But all the other shots are pretty wonderful, too! You get some of the best.
Hai... :)
I find this is the best way to do blogging any more....as you say it saves time and gives us all a few more hours in the day beside visiting blogs and publishing.
Love all the images today...but I find a favorite in all of them, and that is the adult orchard oriole with the anxious feeding of the juveniles. Colorful image.
Beautiful images, the Orchard Oriole is one of my favourites.
Wow what a lot of beautiful images. Enjoyed seeing all of them.
I wish I could grow an Egret tree ... they seem to be abundant where you are, but we have had very few here this year. We used to have many, but not any more. Don't know why ... Love your pictures as always, Eileen ...
Andrea @ From The Sol
Lots of fun, you have!!!!
Olá, sempre com belas fotos de lindas aves, a natureza é fascinante.

Beautiful wildlife photography ~ even from the car window!
Happy Week to you,

Hi Eileen. Your oriole shot is very intriguing. It seems that the young orioles look nothing like the adults, even down to their basic colouration. Your photos present a good learning toll for budding birders.
The Green Heron picture is an absolute winner - love it.
the egrets looks like large Magnolia flowers on the tree :) Love it.
Wow! I loves to capture birds. Unless I invest in a good camera. I will not be to do it at this moment. Nevertheless, it is always very enjoyable watching birds flying and moving around. :)
The Green Heron photo is especially wonderful, Eileen! We've only seen Green Herons a few times, and each sighting has felt like a gift. Your entire post, though, is spectacular!
Hi Eileen,
I did indeed see something pass by on facebook. The last few weeks I have not been on facebook. I had no time for drone.
These pictures are great that you host shows. I also enjoy very much there :-)
Bom dia! Teus céus acabaram de entrar lá!

beautiful pictures of wonderful creatures of nature!
Greetings from Hilde, visiting from Trees n Bushes.

So many great birds. I love seeing all these different birds. - That last shot of the Egrets in the tree is super neat.
lovely photos, specially the egrets in the tree and the orchard oriole feeding its young
Wonderful collection of photos. Thank you!
Good grief, I love the photo of the tree with all the egrets. That's spectacular!

É tão bom ver essas fotos lindas, é melhor ainda saber que ainda há tanta vida selvagem livre na natureza!...
Bom restinho de semana, amiga!
Beijinhos.

These are such wonderful pics. I liked the way you thoughtfully presented them for the different memes.
These are all so wonderful my friend and I think that presenting them for the different memes is so much easier and less time consuming in a single post. I have done it both ways and used to post a few times a week and I find it near impossible anymore, so one blog post a week it is for me, and catching the memes at the same time, then catching up is done for me on Thursday as best that I can~
