What a treat today to see all your photos. I love herons best but the Northern Flickers were amazing. You made my evening much brighter. Thanks Eileen.
Hugs.

I enjoyed your beautiful photos!
Have a happy weekend!
Good Morning, Eileen, and thank you for hosting. These are pretty photos. I especially love the wood ducks and the Northern Flickers. Have a great day.
Oh Eileen, your birds and critters are always awesome, but to capture a Kingfisher tenderising his meal, is so very special. I have only on very special critter today. Thanks for this meme. Have a great day. Jo
no new ones from what I can see, but, still a lot of fine birds. :)
Have a great week.
Hii, Hope you are doing well.
Loved the post. Amazing pics.
Have a nice weekend.
I love seeing birds from other parts of the world. Birds are so 'part of the environment' in any place and often one of the first differences I notice when I arrive. It is like they are familiar companions that once not familiar make it extremely obvious that I'm not in a familiar environment.
These photos are gorgeous. They have lovely colour balance and the compositions just work really well. Lovely work.
My favourites are the ducks, the thrush, flickers and the herons. The colours just work really well.
Thank you for hosting the blog party!
Best wishes,
Liz
... Presque Isle State Park is a wonderful place, you saw a nice collection of critters.
Any time you see lots of Wood Ducks it's a great day!
Muito lindas e tão bom é passar aqui sempre! beijos, lindo fds! chica
A beautiful set of images. I find the ducks floating on the water to be very peaceful and soothing. Have a wonderful weekend, Eileen.
Those Wood Ducks are so beautiful! I would like to have seen the kingfisher swallow its big catch.
Hello Eileen! Looks like you had a great time photographing the various birds at this park. What a great variety!
Loved seeing the kingfisher with his fish dinner! The northern Flickers are pretty birds too!
Thanks for hosting!
Have a great day!

Such a variety... but to catch the fisherman and the fish, that was special! YAM xx
Beautiful birds and I so love the name Hermit Thrush!
Have a wonderful weekend :)
Beautiful shots as usual, Eileen. I especially like the Northern Flickers!

WoW!!! what a great day!! i love seeing those wood ducks, we had a couple in smithville last year, that overed winter there, i am hoping they come back!!
cool to see the herons!!!
So nice! The belted kingfisher is a tough bird
Love them all. I saw two king fishers yesterday on the river, they were flying so fast and calling so loudly.
Eileen, nice capture of the kingfisher’s activity. Thanks for sharing.
So many great photos - love the flickers and the kingfisher - and the wood ducks - thanks for sharing.
the first time I saw wood ducks, I said to Diane, my birding friend, what is that???? they are really beautiful ducks.
Lovely pictures! Happy weekend!
Amazing to see such a large flock of cormorants. We only see one or two at a time.
Have a wonderful new week, Eileen!
You pi led a fine day Eileen. It's always a good day when you see a kingfisher. Thanks for the link up today and have a good weekend.
Hi Eileen, lovely photos of these precious ones. I would have like to have seen that one banging the fish on the tree (not that I'm into violence) but how these little ones live is amazing.
We've seen a few of these birds this week on our hikes....even the wood ducks! But we never see green herons! Something to look for and hope for. Enjoy your weekend! Hugs!
Thank you, Eileen for hosting. Beautiful birds especially the Flickers and kingfisher with the fish! Have a wonderful weekend!
Hello,
Wonderful photos! The Belted Kingfisher is so beautiful.
I wish you a nice weekend!
Hello Eileen!

Great captures!Have a happy weekend!
Dimi...
Such lovely shorebirds, and hermit thrush! Have a great weekend!
So many beautiful birds!!
How blessed you are to share life with so many beautiful feathered friends!!!
Beautiful array of birds, my favourite is a Kingfisher, superb.
Oh wow - The Belted Kingfisher -- what a bird and what a name!
Very nice post, once again, Eileen!!
Have a Happy Weekend and thank you for hosting.
Peace :)
It's quite rare to see wood ducks here in the city, at least.
Wood Ducks are such elegant birds! I would have been thrilled to see the Kingfisher! Thanks for hosting Eileen!
Great photo of the flickers!
Wonderful photos! I think I saw a heron today at the edge of the pond.
A great catch on capturing the Belted Kingfisher with his catch! I hope he enjoyed his feast, he worked hard for it! I like how you have invited all kinds of critters, real or pretend, and statues and paintings to your Saturday's Critters post. I will have to see what I might have to contribute for next time. The Northern Flickers are pretty birds, too. Have a great weekend, Eileen!
They are all nice birds...the ducks are the funniest.
Have a good weekend, Eileen.
Lots of great photos of all the different birds. I love the composition in the shot with northern flickers.
Have a great weekend,
Andrea
Great capture of the kingfisher with the fish.
Beautiful... just beautiful...I love the belted kingfisher...
Wood Ducks are soooooo beautiful. Can you tell me why the Kingfisher was slapping the fish on the branch? Is t to break the bones?...:)JP
That's nice ! I like the wood ducks !
Nice group of birds...I would love to get a good look at some wood ducks in real life. I think they are so pretty.
Excellent bird pictures!
You always have great bird pictures. This week I had three bird visitors. The first was a male Merganser, followed by two gorgeous Trumpeter Swans. I didn't get any pictures though. They were too far away on a rainy day. But I did capture a Song Sparrow that just arrived using my critter cam. The shots made an interesting "video" of his antics. - Margy
So very lovely!
Hi,
Hope you are doing well. Wonderful photos of the flickers. The Wood Duck is one of the most pretty of all waterfowl. Happy Sunday!
I cannot imagine if there is one day we live without birds...
That’s so weird about the Kingfisher. So he was tenderizing it?
Happened upon a like scene the other day . . .
Ducks floating by . . .
I thought of Eileen . . .
Can’t believe this is #203 . . .
awww
I need to get off my butt and go hiking...
Love the Kingfisher with the fish..Where theres a will , theres a way. Wood Ducks have always been a favorite of mine..Happy Sunday..
Hello Eileen,
What a beautiful series of pictures of these different birds.
Perfectly photographed, my compliments.
Best regards, Irma
Wonderful critters, Eileen. Hope you've had a good weekend.
Love seeing the Wood Ducks, and the river's reflections Eileen.
What a great shot of the Kingfisher!
Have a very happy week :D) xx
Sometimes animals look as though they have personalities similar to humans. Have you ever seen the BBC videos where people do voice-overs to videos of animals? It's very funny.
I just love the colourings of the Northern Flickers, and the photograph of the belted kingfisher with that fish is just brilliant.
All the best Jan
Well, getting there early means "the early bird catches..." the best pictures! :-) I love the Kingfisher. A rare sight for me, so I always look for them. Your post and the flickers also remind me I need to get my feeders up.
I hope you're doing well Eileen! Take care, and enjoy your week!
As always lovely photos of birds/critters.
The kingfisher has such a big fish. Great shot!
Gorgeous nature and critter shots as always ~ Wonderful!
Thanks for your well wishes too ~ Happy Week to you ^_^
