I may be away from my computer and internet for a bit. I will visit your blogs and comment as soon as possible.
My You tube video of the Limpkin, their sounds are very loud and weird.
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.

I am taking you back to the Circle B for some more bird sightings. The Wilson's Snipe could usually be found in a couple places off the trails.
Two Wilson's Snipes in the morning light.
I could always get my fill of Black Bellied Whistling Ducks at the Circle B.
The Black Crowned Night Heron could be found in various spots along the trail too.
Looking up at the sky, it was filled with Tree Swallows.
A Limpkin was sharing the trail with us.

ReplyDeleteYour experience as a birder, the photos, and all the information you provide are a joy to visit each week!
ReplyDeleteAs I watched the video, it seems like a majestic place. What trail is this? Where? In Louisiana or Florida? Loved all the pictures. Gosh! birds are such magical creatures and thank you for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection of birds, Eileen! You certainly take fantastic shots of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting.
I love that Limpkin on the trail...how cool! Fun to see the swallows and whistlers too. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend my friend. Happy Mother's day, Diane
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen, I hope you are well.

All the best Jan
I don't have the variety you have, but I have a quantity of wood ducks!
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures of the critters.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
The snipes are fascinating! I thought I saw one on a low perch near another bird while in Texas, but thought I must be mistaken, because I wasn't aware that they ever left the ground! :-) Love that black crowned night heron, and the limpkin is really awesome!

Happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen. Beautiful photos. Yours Wilson's Snipe resemble ours Common Snipe.
ReplyDeleteI love limpkins -- we haven't seen (or heard) as many as we usually do this season. Circle B as usual was wonderful. Hope you are enjoying your current adventure as much as you did your sseason in Florida.
ReplyDeletelove the Lipkin's...how about those legs!!! have a wonderful mothers day!!!
ReplyDeleteI so love to see birds that I would never see in my part of the world. Nice captures of these fantastic critters.
ReplyDeleteLove the video.. it is so beautiful..
ReplyDeleteThe limpkin is very strange to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteIncredible place to have a visit and to see such interesting various birds. As always, These are birds I never seen before. So, it is so interesting to see them through your camera lens and to listen the record on the video, as well. Amazing sounds.
ReplyDeleteHave a great and sunny week of May! Best regards!
Wonderful post however what must it have been to see so many Swallows flying like that, knowing they were taking down the bugs!!! Have to LOVE love them. I think I need to hire a few to fly over my land. Have a wonderful week my friend. Hugs~
ReplyDeleteSo many great photos of awesome birds! The only ones I have seen are the Tree Swallows, tho not nearly THAT many! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your black crowned night heron especially. last year on a photography tour had the privilege of seeing several pairs of these with their nests. Such a lovely bird.
