Saturday's Critters #170
Happy Saturday, it's time to share your critters and post. Any kind of critter will do, even a new or old post.. I appreciate everyone who is linking in with this week's critter party.
We will be packing up for our trip home to Maryland, so I will be visiting your post and commenting ASAP. Depending on our internet service of course. For now, I have more Florida photos to share from one of our Circle B Reserve, I hope you enjoy.
I will miss visiting the Circle B Bar Reserve, if you are ever in Lakeland Florida I highly recommend a visit. An early morning look at a Wood Stork in a tree top.
A pretty look at an Anhinga.
A view of the Circle B reserve, a gator swimming along and a tree full of birds.
Bald Eagle perched on top a dead tree, near the nest.
I think this Great Blue Heron has a lot to say.
A Tricolored Heron and reflection.
Two Red-shouldered hawks.
My video of the Sandhill Cranes flying around the Circle B Reserve.
As always thanks for the visits and the nice comments. I also thank everyone who is linking up and sharing their critters.. Happy Saturday, have a great weekend!

Ohhh the wood stork - and the reflections - and the sand hill crane video - I listened over and over. One of the highlights of our trip to Wisconsin for Don's 50th high school reunion a couple years ago was the masses of Sand Hill Cranes - they were everywhere and I think I took photos of all of them. :-) Wonderful post.
I will miss Circle B Bar Reserve as well. I've enjoyed your posts about this site and the magnificent array of wildlife.
Thank you, as always Eileen,loved seeing the heron especially.

The first shot is a great one and the eagle is awesome! As always, you have chosen some great birds, and taken great photos. Have a super day!
Oh Eileen, your Anhinga is heart-stoppingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing these photos and for hosting this meme. Are you going home to other house for the summer? Somewhere I missed why you were in this area. Greetings Jo
Lovely bird shots, Eileen, and I enjoyed the video too!

OOhh safe trails home! (I must have missed the bit about the extended stay away - an 'overwintering'???) You have certainly stored up lots of fabby shots and memories. Home is home though... YAM xx
Eileen ~ more gorgeous wildlife photography ~ thanks,
Wishing you a lovely weekend ~ ^_^
Lovely photos, Eileen. Love those cranes, especially.
Have a great weekend!
about time for me to stop by again...you make me eager. Safe travels home
WoW!!! great captures of everyone up high, beautiful light!! i will miss your walks and pictures from florida. have a safe trip home, and as always, many thanks for hosting!!
i had trouble with the video, it wouldn't load past 4 seconds!!!
and don't worry about leaving a comment for me. my post is same old - yard birds - nothing exciting!!!
Great shot of the bald eagle.
gorgeous Eagle. they were speaking on the news about a bald eagle nest and folks walking or driving on private property to see these birds and getting in trouble. wondering why they just did not set up a video so folks could see them instead, kind of wild and silly too. what folks will do to see an eagle. we have them in our backyard constantly ... such gorgeous birds. very quiet. just watching. happy weekend to you!! ( ;
A great series Eileen!
Quite an array of big birds. I have never seen a Wood Stork before.

I have a great fondness for those herons- watching them, they have infinite patience.
Amazed more and more at your stunning shots, dearest Eileen,
I'm sending you blessings of joy,
may your weekend be as pleasant as ever !
With utmost gratitude,
sweet friend

Great video, Eileen, and your photos are absolutely gorgeous and dreamy! I hope you have a great weekend, I love and appreciate all your posts. :)
Hello Eileen!:) All your photos didn't load, but I love the one of the birds in the tree with the gator, and the Great Blue Heron image.

Fantastics birds and shots.. happy Sunday.. :-)))
Wonderful photos and video . . .

Good morning, not so sure if my link went through, but I tried. I hope your weather is better, our storm is over again, but I hear there may be another one by the end of the week. Darn it. I like your critters not in winter, they look so warm and happy in their world. Take care.
Hi Eileen. Looks like your Internet connection is working OK. Maybe you are back home now? You have had a wonderful time in Floirda, finishing on a high with your birds and landscapes again. Thank you for allowing me to join in again today. Hope the week ahead goes well for you.
Such lovely birds. Have a safe trip back home, Eileen.

PS...Hi again Eileen. It's good to read you're now safely home in MD. And, I want to thank you for linking in at I'd Rather B Birdin'.....take a good long rest; you deserve it after that drive!!
Hello Eileen,this looks like a lovely place. The Anhinga is interesting, and new to me.....and your header is beautiful and springlike!

Great photos! Greetings!:)

Amazing photos! I am sure you will miss the area - it's about to turn very hot and muggy, so you were there at a perfect time.
Wonderful captures Eileen. I had forgotten what they sounded like so to hear them in the video was really neat. The last time I saw them was in Yellowstone a couple of years back. Awesome birds. Thank you and have a great week :)
Safe travels Eileen! I'm glad you loved your snowbird adventure in Florida. Lots of people heading home from here too. We will be here a couple more months ...I kind of like it when it gets quieter.... I think it's a lot busier here than where you were. I still hope to get up there before we go home.
I'm glad the party was still going on...I forgot to link up! I love the eagle sighting...how exciting! Hope you have a good trip North. Hurry back! Hugs, Diane
Dearest Eileen; Great visit to Circle B Bar Reserve♪ Iwish I could see tricolored heron to add my capture list p;-) wonderful reflection. Wow, hawks on top of the tree, happy for your wonderful time, Dear friend. I enjoyed the video as well(♡^.^♡)
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend, xoxo Miyako*
Hello Eileen, I am late as usual adding on to your critter meme, but my goodness, what wonderful photographs you have posted. The Wood Stork and the Anhinga are breathtaking, but every single image is spectacular! I also loved the video, with pink skies, free flight and wonder in your Hubby's voice too. :)
What beautiful birds you have shared. I love the Bald Eagle...and how fun to see a wood stork! I think a Blue Heron is such a unique bird, too.
Hi Eileen-
Great shot of the Anhinga and other guys.
Wonder what the Gator was up to :)
Thanks for hosting.
Have a Happy Day!!
Peace :)
These are wonderful images! Love the second one, and it's a bird I had never heard of. I'm always impressed with your knowledge of the birds you photograph.
Hi Eileen,
awesome photos of this huge birds ! No more words.
Best, Synnöve
