'I am sharing some photos of critters and birds seen from our walk at the local Hashawha Nature Center. We walk a loop that goes by several ponds, their raptor center, wildflower field and back past the larger lake.
A couple of Slider Turtles sunning themselves.
Some views from our loop hike around the nature center.
From the Raptor Center, the Red-tailed Hawk and a Barred Owl. These birds are hurt and can not survive in the wild.
Some scenes from the larger lake, included the Great Blue Heron, wild hibiscus and a turtle.
I appreciate and thank everyone who links up their post and for all the wonderful comments! I hope you enjoy my post and photos too!
Here is a list of my linky parties;

ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the birds and the flowers in both mosaics. Am also having trouble catching up because of multiple relocations and especially attending (and enjoying) our two granddaughters' volleyball practices and games-- two different teams and multiple sites!
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen! Wonderful photos. The Barred Owl is great.
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful - just love the turtles - I've not seen one out in nature since I was a little kid in California - fabulous photos. And of course one of my favorites - the Heron. Wonderful mosaics. Have a grand weekend.

ReplyDeleteHello Eileen, it's late but it's still Saturday! The turtles are sweet, and owls too, we just saw every owl Minnesota has at the State Fair and of course got the whole scoop on everything about them! They have the dearest sweetest eyes I think! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I like seeing those turtles soaking up some rays!
ReplyDeleteI'm too late for Sunday since I was hibernating yesterday but want to say how much I like the turtle on the log picture, I've tried to get that shot before and no luck. And of course, maybe you know how much I love herons. It's the only bird I'm fascinated by.
ReplyDeleteLove those turtles and all the beauty! So nice you get have a bit of a getaway!
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised and thought wait a minute am I in the right place...so beautiful what you have done Eileen to your blog presentation. I am always wanting to change mine up like I did for the first few years and then I think...but I like it this way.
ReplyDeleteI love those turtles and of course the Barred Owl is a real favorite of mine. Thank you for hosting for us dear friend~
