Above the parks picnic area, bridge and trail, Redwing blackbird, trail near field, catbirds, hardwood forest and ferns.
The Gray Catbird was a common bird seen that day along with the Redwing Blackbirds. Other birds were heard more than seen like the Ovenbird, Wood Thrush and the American Robins.
For my NF Tree entry a view of the pine and hardwood trees seen at the park.
A view of the pond and barn, a Redwing Blackbird and some colorful weeds.
I do not think the barn is part of the park property but it is adjacent to the property and pond. There is a trail around the pond with benches. I really liked the reflection of the barn.
I like the round window on this barn and the reflection of the barn in the pond.
I hope you enjoyed our walk and the images. Also, thank you for stopping by and for the nice comments. Have a great day and new week ahead.

Hubby and I decided to visit a new local park nearby for our walk and to do some birding. The Pine Valley Park is adjacent to the Charlotte's Quest Nature Center. The nature center is located on 60 acres, has a pond, stream and wildlife and has 4 1/2 miles of hiking trails. The trails consists of fields, and a wooded area with the Pine trees and hardwood forest.

Wonderful grey catbird portrait, Eileen!
Great bird and flower pics, and nice reflection of the barn!
What a lovely place to walk and explore and it seems to have all that nature has to offer. Also love the Barn and the little round window. Have a great week ahead Eileen

Hi Eileen,
fabulous photos of all this green things and the blossom and landscape. The lake is so serene. Amazing !
Best regards, Synnöve
What a great barn--I've always loved weathered barns.
Looks like you two found another great spot for a hike and some birding.
I've never seen an ovenbird and so I looked them up--and the calls--I have heard. Neat!
Great shots of the countryside. Wonderful sights, really. If you like you can link up with the "Through My Lens" meme as well. Link is below.

What a wonderful Nature Center, Eileen! Love your photos of it all, but particularly love the barn reflected in the pond. That round window is so unusual!
Oh Eileen what a beautiful visit. It seems our birds will be leaving soon and coming to you! Those views with the barn are just stunning!
Lovely collages , greeting from Belgium
You have some amazing trails for the wild life enthusiasts to enjoy in the States - well kept and maintained also.
I always love reading about the birds you see on these walks Eileen!

So much green. I feel a healing. I especially love the pond shot.
Pretty place! I love that barn.
Life is so busy and winter is in full flight, so taking time to go bushwalking is low on our list right now. But I am looking forward to the spring. Thanks for taking us along with you Eileen. Have a great week and thank you for stopping by my blog this week. (and the link to Through my Lens!)
You captures some nice shots during your walk. I especially liked the barn shot by the water!

Enjoying every shots, Eileen. The park is a great place to visit.
Looks like a good place for a nature walk. Thanks for sharing.
Love the view of the barn with the reflection in the the pond - a capture hard to come by! You have a happy week too:)
What a lovely park to have nearby, and perfect for you and your birding. I would just enjoy the tranquility - and like you, I love that old barn and your shot of it framed by nature and reflected in the pond.
Now this is a place to visit and capture the best photos ever! What a remarkable view!
Your mosaics are always nice. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week!
I have to lie down and prop up with 4 pillows to be able to use my left arm and type my entries, comments etc, but I am making my way and happy to have arrived here this morning. You all take such lovely walks at so many interesting places and that barn is really an interesting structure along with all of the birds and beautiful scenes you captured. Happy Thursday Eileen~
Do you see me way down here at the bottom. Your countryside looks so lovely and rural and quaint and classic. We don't have the catbird here, handsome fellow.
Love the old barn house shots most
