Wishing all a Happy Easter and weekend!
Wishing all a Happy Easter and weekend!
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.
More from the Circle B Reserve. The Barred Owls were seen during most visits, right near the parking lot. Some visits we saw one owl, maybe two Barred Owls together and even three owls seen close together on one day. Can you find both Barred Owls in the photo below?
The Black-bellied Whistling Ducks always a favorite sighting.
A Snail Kite
The American Bittern was usually easy to find.
The turtles come out in the sunshine.
Green Heron
The Black Crowned Night Heron.
I always enjoy seeing the Cattle Egrets.
A pretty Great Blue heron pose.

I think the black-crowned night heron is MY favorite. They are a little tricky to find in Orlando/Daytona where we used to hike.
Happy Easter to you and your family.
And every bird, fish or animal has its own beauty. The Barred owls, yes, both of them, are today's pick for me. Have a joyous Easter, for you and yours.
These sre billiant photos of all the Herons and my favouorite is of the Bittern. I hope yous wonderful Easter and thanks for hosting.
Great series of photos! My favorite from this group: The Black Crowned Night Heron
Happy Easter!
Oh yes, I can see 2 owls in the photos. Great collection of critters as always. Have a beautiful Easter weekend!
The Owls are extra special. the Bittern I have never see and 3 different types of Herons---marvelous. A winner post, Eileen.
HAPPY EASTER TO YOU

P.S.. the owl is so charming, I'm sincerely enchanted with it, thank you !
Good Morning, Eileen. These photos are awesome. I especially love the color in the last one. I will always think of TexWis when I see whistling ducks. Happy Easter.
Thanks for all those wonderful birds. So hard to single one out as better then the other. Love the owl and the raptor.
Happy Easter to you!
Happy Easter to you, Eileen! Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos.
Hello,

Happy Easter, and enjoy your weekend!
So many great photos, Eileen.

What a pleasure to see them all!
Our Barred owl is more frequently here. They are gearing up to nest, I hope! I've been dissecting their owl pellets, to find out what they've been eating!
Love these photos . . .
They each seemed to have a light green hue . . .
Happy Easter Eileen . . .
Yoiur bird photos are always remarkable.
Hi Eileen, I always love seeing your birds; especially the bitterns and herons. And the turtles are a rare sight for me. Thanks for sharing and hosting this meme. I've linked up with REAL critters (well, sort of, LOL) today. Happy Easter to you and your family. Jo
wonderful photos :D
happy easter
Brilliant photos Eileen, I enjoyed looking at all of them. What a great place for critters. Thank you and Happy Easter!
I love seeing the variety at this Park! Would love to drive down there for the day. It would be worth it just to see an owl...or two! Enjoy your weekend sweet friend. Hugs, Diane
Eileen, Happy Easter to you and your family. Thanks for sharing.
Love all your photos, but the owl, kite and bittern are special birds for me, as I need to travel to see them. Happy Easter!
wonderful photos!
Nicknamed hootin' anni I am bound to have a favorite today...the barred owl of course!
Happy Easter Eileen.
the owl looks sleepy and CUTE and the whistling ducks make me think of TexWisGirl.
Olá, a natureza com a sua beleza única, encanta num todo, as fotos são excelentes, gosta da Garça Real.
Votos de Páscoa repleta de alegria! Feliz Páscoa!

Good morning Eileen, a most happy Saturday to you and may your Easter be filled with love and happiness. You sure brightened my (rainy, bit gloomy outside) morning which promises to be gone by tomorrow, yeah for that. I changed my usual critter post in honor of Easter, and eggs and the bunny such, and mention to Sepia Saturday that I used to post each Saturday. Enjoy your weekend and your lovely critters, especially the owl (great captures, you have a talent for that) Enjoy!
Great pictures. I was taking some through my bedroom window at the back of the house. We had robins, goldfinch, and a flicker visiting. They are not of great quality though, but I enjoyed trying.
Enjoy your Saturday Eileen.
Andrea
Love the Owl and Turtles and the last photo is awesome ~ thanks,
Wishing you a Happy Weekend ~ ^_^
Hi Eileen. Those Barred Owls reeally do merge into their background don't they? Your comment about the bittern being usyally easy to find made me smile. Our own European Bittern is just the opposite - very, very hard to find. Loved that picture of the turtles covered in algae. Loved all your pictures today. Have a great day and may all of your eggs be large ones.
Lovely shots, as always, Eileen.
Wishing you a very Happy Easter and thanks for hosting.
Gorgeous series of bird photos, Eileen, and the turtles are beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing, and Happy Easter to you. :)
i'm loving all those shots of the critters.
have a blessed easter! xoxo
lovely photos all of them!
Fantastic photos, Eileen! Getting to see the Barred Owls must have been such a treat. What a beautiful array of birds and critters. Happy Easter!
A beautiful array of colouring birds, the Bittern is my favourite.
I really like owls but I have not had the opportunity to photograph them !! Fantastic photos !!
Happy Eeaster, dear friend !!
I love the owls, Eileen! And the Bittern!
Happy Easter to you, your photos are amazing a joy to see...
Amanda xx
Your owl shots are my favourite. Have a good Easter.
Wonderful photos !
Loved your critters
Happy Easter
I had no trouble finding the Barred Owls, which are my favorite as you know, but those turtles on the other hand - Talk about camouflage!! :-)
I do hope all is well with you, and that you have a wonderful weekend!

Just as I was amazed by your whistling ducks, and the adorable owls, I came across the Great Blue Heron. What a magnificent photo of him posed against the hanging moss with the sprinkling of colored leaves! Hope you're having a wonderful Easter weekend!

Beautiful Black Crowned Night Heron... Happy Easter..
Happy Easter! Hope you had a lovely weekend.
I would love to have the time to stroll through your photos...you always have awesome bird shots.
Hi Eileen,
thank you for your Easter blessings. Marvelous photos of the owl, heron, birds and turtles.
Amazing !
Best, Synnöve
Your birds are gorgeous, absolutely brilliant. They are all truly wonderful, however the final one of the Great Blue Heron, could easily be a painting, I love it. Barred Owls are one of my favorite birds and it is so neat that you were close enough to see this beautiful species like this. Hugs and a Happy week for you. Thank you for all that you do~
I tried to see a Black-crowned Heron earlier this spring, with no luck! They look cool! We have loads of Yellow-crowned Night Herons around here! I also went on a walk to see a Barred Owl, but... again, no luck! It surely is a matter of being there at the right time! Thanks for sharing! Hugs!
