Teresa's Friday's Hunt
1. Start's with R
2. Weeks Favorite
3. Texture
April 10th hubby and I visited the York Pa Great Egret and Black Crowned Night Heron rookery. I thought it maybe a little early to see these birds working on their nest at the rookery, I counted at least 14 egrets and maybe 4 Night Herons.
For Tex's Good Fences meme I have an overall view of the lake and Rookery in York Pennsylvania.
1. Great Egrets were hunted for their plumes nearly to extinction in the early 1900's. Luckily laws were created to protect these birds. The Egret below is one of my favorite photos for my Friday's Hunt.
2. Not bird related, one morning while watching "The View" I heard Donny Osmond say he has been performing for nearly 50 years. Donny's deput was on the Andy Williams Show in 1962. I would have been 6 yrs old, this makes me feel old, LOL. Do you remember the Andy Williams Show and the Donny and Marie Osmond show?
3. A fun fact about the Egret, during their breeding season they have a patch of neon green near show up on their faces near their eyes.
For Teresa's Friday's hunt I think the features on the Egret above is great for the prompt Texture.
4. I just read this fact about the Black Crowned Night Heron seen below. A breeding Night Heron will brood any chick that placed in it's nest.
For Good Fences and for Skywatch Friday I have the pretty sky above and my moon addiction photo below.
5. On April 10th I was able to catch the waxing crescent moon and the star Aldebaran close by. Can you see the tiny star near the moon in my photo? The star is just a tiny dot near the bottom right side of the photo. BTW, for Teresa's Friday's Hunt this is also my favorite photo for the week.

Eileen-Good Morning!
Love that moon shot--very nicely done!
Hello,
Beautiful photos, and The Egrets are so pretty. Wonderful moon!
Happy week!
Once again a wonderful Moon shot Eileen. The Egrets shots are glorious and thanks for the interesting facts about them. Good fences
Excelente trabalho e belas fotografias.
Um abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
Thrilling photos of the egrets and Black Crowned Night Heron, Eileen! I enjoyed the view along the fence to the lake also! And as ever you take the most awesome shots of the moon!
Best wishes!
wonderful shots Eileen
O que te dizer,Eillen? Lindo, lindo ,lindo! bjs, adorei! chica
Hi Eileen, Good morning to you! You are the best at covering so many memes in one post! Great shots, as always. And I always enjoy your moon photos ... yes, I see the star in today's shot. Very nice! Have a happy day!
Those egrets are lovely. You captured them so well. I think I've seen the herons at the zoo but they chose to be there and are not caged.
Fantastic photos! I especially enjoyed the second of the Great Egret. Have a great day Eileen:)
those birds have terrible posture don't they?!! great photos!! have a super day :)

Fabulous as ever, Eileen... that moon shot is understandably your fave this week... and yes I remember the Osmonds and all their various shows and such - was a huge fan in my youth! YAM xx
Wonderful shots. Kudos.
the egrets and night-heron are just beautiful! lovely blue sky. yes, i remember donny - not quite at 6 yrs old, though. ;)
Oh wow your egret shots are excellent. The green around the eyes is gorgeous! I'm green with envy!
Yes I too remember the Andy Wiliams Show and his jumpers! I was more a fan of T Rex than Donny Osmond or David Cassidy. Time just flies by.
Loving the shot of the Moon and the star.
Have a great end to the week :)
Amazing bird pictures!
So cool. I saw a Black Crowned Night Heron once years ago. They are a rare sighting around here. How very cool that you have a rookery to visit. Love all of it Eileen ... great shots :)
Andrea @ From The Sol
your images are perfect for all the link up's!! your favorite, is my favorite....i just recently learned about that little patch of neon green on the egret. the back plumage is also "prettier"!!! i like your fence image, i wish all fences did not require signs......
i remember donny and marie and the andy williams show, i would have been 4 for the debut. my body feels old my spirit is 17!!!
I really love the moon shot in the end. Such nice details. Lovely wildlife photos as well.

Amazing and beautiful!
You covered everything very well. I love that huge, white bird. Never saw one like that.
Love that Moon! I remember the Andy Williams show and I know we watched it. In 1962 I had been married for 5 yrs so yes that makes me feel VERY OLD for sure. In my heart I am not!!

I graduated in 1962 and was 18, i remember the shows but did not watch them. your birds today are awesome. all of them. i do love egrets and cranes
Eileen, I love this entire series! Thank you so much for sharing, I love your posts and photos. :)
Pure brilliance Eileen. I love the Great Egret bending its neck, how does it do that?
Gorgeous photos, Eileen. I remember both those shows you mentioned. Guess that dates me as well. LOL. Love your Egret and Moon.
Everything is beautiful at the rookery. The lake view, egrets and the moom shot.
What a wonderful place to visit and see the Egrets & Heron's. They are amazing birds. Loved your photos of them. A very nice looking fence and a great shot of the moon. I enjoyed your Randoms a lot. I do remember some of those shows. It's fun to get "nostalgic" now & then.
Lovely photos! I really like
Hi Eileen, it's always a pleasure to watch your photos! I love all the birds unusual and beautiful! I'm glad because it was been created laws to protect them. Congratulations for your beautiful holdings. Hugs.
Gorgeous shots! I love the moon photo.
Just wonderful photos of the Great Egret there Eileen. Thank goodness they are protected now. Yes, I too remember the Andy Williams show and Marie and Donny Osmond. I rather liked Marie but not Donny - LOL.
Fabulous Egret pics, Eileen!
An amazing moon shot, Eileen! Love thee egrets, and your favorite one is quite a beauty. I love their elegance!
Beautiful photos.
Greetings :)
Wonderful photos of the egrets!
Wonderful photos for SWF!Thank you for sharing!
How to you manage to get the moon so sharp in your photo ?
Wow, the 2nd photo. Beautiful !!
I like the birds in the trees. It looks great. Regards.
I love the egret and herring pics and am constantly amazed at your moon pics especially this week where you captured the star also.
Lovely shots of the birdies, Eileen.
When I was a kid in the 60s, our parents said the TV was broken. For the whole decade. Later on, I heard that might not have been exactly true...

Eileen, beautiful images! I love the bird shots! Excellent!
Great captures. Thank you for sharing.
I do remember the Osmonds on the Andy Williams Show! and I love your egrets!
Amazing photography of the gems of nature ~ !
Happy Weekend to you
LOL about your "moon addiction"! I always look forward to your posts, and especially your moon shots. Keem 'em coming!
I didn't know that about Herons..Interesting..great shots..Never saw a Night Heron!! Learned a lot from your post today.Thanks
The egrets are beautiful.
The possessive love of some to kill those beautiful birds, just so they can 'possess' them forever :(
But, I am so glad rules were put in place to protect the Egrets.
I have never seen a Black Crowned Night Heron before. I love its dual-colored plume. Love to look at it - that's all :)
Great snaps, Eileen.
Have a Happy Day!!
Peace :)
Gorgeous egrets! Yes, I do remember the Donny and Marie Osmond show. A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to see Donny and Marie live at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago. It was a wonderful performance in an amazing old theatre which was built in 1926.
A nice birding weekend
All of them great photos!
Herons always look so grouchy...
Two landscapers (out here) just went to jail with big fines for cutting down some trees that egrets were using as a rookery.
I remember the Osmonds, but I don’t know these tv-shows. Wonderful photos of the egrets and Black Crowned Night Heron!
Heisann.... so many fascinating birds--- they are so exotic to me! Have a nice weekend ;:OD)
the egret looks really weird in the second image. Took a while figure it out :)
Great shots of the egrets and heron Eileen! I have seen these night herons twice ... once while I was commuting to work on the train, I saw one sitting on a tree overhanging Lake Ontario. I was thrilled to see it and wanted to shout out to everyone "hey look at the heron!!". Of course I was too chicken for that ;)
Love the plumes on the egret, and you got some beautiful shots!
I don't remember Donny's debut (the year I was born), but I do remember the Donny & Marie show.
Wendy
Really great shots, especially #2...
Have you seen a Black heron (in German we say "bell heron") somewere? I saw him in tv, standing in the water like a bell... but I don't remenber, where they are living.
Have a nice weekend
incredible shots of the egrets and heron! have a beautiful day!
Hello Eileen,
Wonderful pictures. The second is very nice with the acrobatic pose.
Many greetings,
Marco
I can see why that egret photo is your favorite...what a great snap! I don't remember the Andy Williams show...but I DO remember watching the D&M show religiously. I remember crying to to Donny's ALONE AGAIN album...I must have 9...10. Thanks for the memory!
Yes, I do remember the Andy Williams Show and the Donny and Marie Osmond show! The years go by so quickly ...
Lovely photo's again Eileen, and so nice to see blue skies.
Enjoy the remainder of Friday and have a lovely weekend.
All the best Jan
Fantastic photos of the egret and the moon. I'm not joining in any memes today but wanted to stop by and see your always lovely photos. have a great weekend, Eileen. xx
Gorgeous birds! And that moon shot is just fabulous!
AMAZING images of the Heron!
Those are amazing photos of the egrets and herons ... and the moon! Wow! I feel like I could reach out and touch them. :) Have a great weekend!
Marvelous captures!!
Lovely photos, Eileen! Your Egret in the strange pose is so funny! And I like the Night Crowned Heron, it's cool that she will brood any chick in her nest, that must not happen much. Your sliver of a moon is fantastic, so symmetrical, and to capture a star too is great, I like the quote as well.
Your moon shots blow me away and this is no exception. It is so sharp - amazing. Quite distracted me from the bird images which are terrific.
The egrets are gorgeous birds! Those feathers are amazing.
WOW! The Egrets are STUNNING and I absolutely am in love with your moon image!
Egrets are so beautiful! I didn't know about the green though. Great new fact to learn! And your moon picture is awesome! Thanks for sharing with all of us!
http://veradesigns.blogspot.com/
color me completely amazed. I was so impressed with your egret - the photos are beautiful - and I am grateful you taught me things while i viewed . . . Then - you show us a night heron guy - which i didn't even know existed . . . and i sat here - riveted to your page going back - looking at the egret - then scrolling down - because the heron is so different looking - and way cool . . and, because i don't know enough about birds - really, it was one of those "deer in the headlight' kind of moments - caught in the light - surprised, and happily amazed . . . Thank You for starting may off with beautiful surprise . . . . wow
These are all wonderful images! You've really captured the beauty of the egret. I never knew that had that green patch. The moon shot is amazing! Thank you so much for joining in Friday's Hunt. Have a great week!
Stunning shots!!!
Thanks for sharing, such beautiful images, once again, Eileen!
It is always, a real privilege to appreciate your posts!
All the best!
