Hello,
Another Friday is almost here and it is the last Friday in June. Gee, this month flew by! June 10th my brother, hubby and I visited the local North Point State Park. It has been one of my favorite local places for birding and walking.
Two Ospreys, one seem to be hovering right above the one sitting in the tree.
My mosaic shows some of the birds were saw during our park visit: top row are the Indigo Bunting, Little Blue Herons, Cardinal, Tree Swallows. Second Row: Redwing Blackbird, Male Wood Duck, Great Blue Heron, Cormorants. Third row: Red-headed woodpecker, Great Egret, Osprey, GB Heron. Bottom row: Osprey, Little Blue Herons and the Cattle Egrets.
Around 10 Cattle Egrets were seen in the field across from the parking lot. I do not see these egrets often in Maryland.
My only fence shot at the park's parking lot, we were heading to see the Cattle Egrets on the field. Across the way is the barn I have shown in other posts and my brother can hardly be seen walking behind one of the tree on the other side of the fence.
A view of the bay from the park, you can see the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in the distance.
The moon seen with the planet Jupiter (tiny dot on the top right side) on June 11th.
A closer look at the first quarter moon on the evening of June 11th.
Thanks for visiting and for all the nice comments. As always, thank you for visiting and for the nice comments. I wish everyone a happy day and weekend ahead.
Here is a list of linky parties for part of the week, I hope to see you there.

Looks to be one terrific park to visit. And of course, for me, the special treat is ALWAYS bird photos.
Hello Eileen!:) How nice that your brother accompanied you to the park and could share in all the great bird sightings. Nice fence shot, but I couldn't see your brother. Super action shot of the Ospreys, and wonderful mosaic selection. Love your moon shots also.:)

Your moon shots are always amazing and you manage to capture wonderful birds!

Boy I would love to see a Cattle Egret! Great pictures all around Eileen! The moon and Jupiter shot is very neat! Hugs!
Love the Ospreys!
I wouldn't have noticed Jupiter if you hadn't pointed it out. Great shot Eileen.
Crystal clear moon shot
I first remember seeing cattle egrets when I lived in south Texas. They really did follow the cows around. I love the view of the bay and the bridge.
Awesome pics
Greetings
The Osprey's are really amazing! I've never seen one - But the office manager where I work is selling their beach house (at Piney Point MD) and she says one of the things they'll miss the most will be seeing the osprey's.
I hope you've had a good week, and have fun plans for the 4th!
Nice variety of birds you have seen, Eileen. I love the red-headed woodpecker - so bright! Amazing moon photos, too! Hope your weekend is fun. x K

Hi Eileen,
wow, so many different fabulous birds on your photos and as always, a stunning moon photo. Great !!!
Best regards, Synnöve
Lovely photos, as always, Eileen...it always amazes me the variety of birds you see! Your moon shots are always awesome too. Have a fun and safe 4th of July weekend!
Eileen, such wonderful pics! I especially love the shot of the rocky pier, with the bridge in the background, as I so miss the magic of the Mediterranean, and especially, the Aegean Sea, just minutes away from my home!
Have a lovely weekend!
Poppy
you always score such nice shots Eileen
Hi Eileen, Another fine series of photos in this post. I'm always impressed with your clear and well focused moon shots. Great work! To answer your recent question on my blog: Yes, I've done the Alaska Cruise on Princess. This year I'm looking at trying one on Holland America ... I think that you were on one of the Holland America cruises. Did you enjoy it? Have a great weekend ahead and let me wish you a Happy Fourth of July.
Very nice photo of the moon !!
Happy weekend from Anne-Mari
