Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

These are photos from our short trip to Ocean City, Md and Assateague Nat'l Seashore. I love seeing the wild ponies, we had some great sightings of the ponies and we also saw various birds.
We saw some of the horses while driving thru the campground. One horse walked up to the van's window, I think it was looking for food. We did not see it being fed, that is against the rules.
The Yellow-rumped Warblers were everywhere on the Assateague Island.
A closer look at the Yellow-rumped Warbler,

The Sanderlings were on the beach at Assateague.

The birds are great - but oh those wild ponies - it is my dream to see wild horses - some day. Wonderful photos. Hope your weekend is fabulous!
Wild ponies always make my heart sing. They are just so wild and free and joyful. Your bird photos as always are very nice too. Have a wonderful weekend, Eileen. I hope you are keeping warm where you live.

Happy St Patrick's Day, Eileen!
The ponies are wonderful and as usual the birds so well photographed.
Have a great new week.
You are so fortunate to have gotten to visit Assateague Nat'l Seashore, and see the wild horses there. I have wanted to go there for a very long time, maybe one day... I have had friends go and never even get to see a horse and so this was really a nice treat to see that you all did. Thanking you for all that you do for us Eileen. Hugs~
Oh I love that area and the wild ponies and what beautiful photos you have ~
Happy Saturday,

Hello. Cute ponies and pleasure to look at them. The last photo is great. I wish you all the best and best regards.
Handsome horses and the yellow rumped warbler is a cutie. Happy Day.
The wild ponies are magnificent creatures. I am glad they have a safe place to live.
It's amazing to see any animal in the wild...the horses are special! Love your photos! Happy Saturday!
Always a pleasure to visit your blog, Eileen!

Our critters are indoors these days!
I would love to see those horses, they are amazing and so beautiful. i am thinking a few people have not abided by the rules and gave in and fed them.. that one looks like he knows food comes out of a window on a car
Love the horses! Happy St Patrick's Day, Eileen!
that looks like a great spot to see and explore nature and wildlife!! i have never seen wild horses, they are beautiful!! you captured some great captures of the birds...the warblers are such cute, plump little birds!!!
the last image of the hoses was a real treat!!
Hello Eileen. Those wild ponies are just spectacular and beautiful. Such a shame that they seem to approach the cars. Some people are very stupid in that they can not understand what "wild" means. Beautiful picture of the Yellow-rumped Warbler - it looks so fragile and vulnerable away from trees and bushes to hide.
Have a lovely weekend and thanks for the link-up today.
Eileen, Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you and your family. Keep those critter photos coming. Thanks for sharing.
Always wanted to go there. Thanks for bringing us, E
You're in a great critter area.
I lived in Raleigh NC in the 90s and always intended to go see the wild ponies, but never did. They sure are beautiful. I'm happy you got to see them and shared. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Eileen! Thanks for the link up. I so enjoyed your photos, but especially the ones of the horses. Have a wonderful weekend! - Judy
Late for the party as usual, out walking before sunrise! Love those horses!
The ponies are quite a peaceful sight!
Wonderful shots! I love seeing those ponies.
Love that last shot.
Oh I love those Assateague horses! Wonderful post!
Schöne Bilder von den Pferden.

I love animals like you do, and, I love the horses, free as living wind.
So many great shots...I love the simple look of the sea birds on the beach. Serene.
Have a great weekend Eileen,
Andrea
I love your photos, dear Eileen !!
Happy St Patrick ‘s Day!!
Nice captures, as your usual.
Happy St Patrick's Day to you too!
Lovely ponies, and what muted colours in their photos, they would make wonderful postcards.
Hello Eileen!:) Happy St Patricks Day!:) Have just returned from my son's birthday celebration, and am a little late with my comment. I just love your photos of the wild ponies. The scenery and colours are wonderful, and put me in mind of beautiful paintings. The little Warbler is pretty, and you got a great shot of the Heron. Thank you so much for hosting.:)
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Eileen. Those horses take my breath away.
Wonderful pictures of the horses. How cool to have one come right up to the car.
Oh, what beautiful ponies! It's so wonderful to see them running free. Have a great week, Eileen!
Thanks for sharing your visit...I've always wanted to go there!!!...:)JP
Wow, nice ! I like the horses !
The ponies are beautiful! And of course, I love the heron and the warbler.
Thanks for visiting my site again and for the nice comment.
Such a beautiful area! Your photos are also beautiful.
There are wild burros around here, but no horses.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you also Eileen.
Hi Eileen, I enjoyed all the photos from your trip to Ocean City, Md and Assateague National Seashore. I love the little Yellow-rumped Warbler ... what a sweet looking little bird! I have been thinking about you when I see the news reports on the weather back East. I am sure sorry to hear about all the difficulties. Keeping my fingers crossed for you that things will get back to normal soon! Take good care Eileen! John
Happy St. Paddy's Day! Beautiful shots of the horses!
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too Eileen. What a sunny wonderful day it was here, still a tad bit chilly but way closer to spring. Your horse and pony captures are beautiful, such peace and tranquility in each shot. Enjoy your weekend too!
Hello, Eileen, Happy St. Patrick's Day.
It was a lovely walk and you took wonderful photos.
Thank you for hosting.
Maybe it was tired of walking, haha. Wild ponies, how cool.
Beautiful, just beautiful.. I always love your photography!
Wonderful collection of critters, Eileen. Happy St. Patrick's day to you and yours!
Delightful post! I love Assateague and need to go back.
Horses are big.
Birds are small.
Both are lovely.
Your photos are stunning, as always! I am especially taken with the last pony shot showing the water and large tree. That one is gorgeous! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
Love the wild ponies..Assateague is a fun place to visit..Cute little Warbler..Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures..
A wonderful selection of photographs Eileen, but it's the wild ponies, simply amazing.
Hope you've had a lovely weekend.
All the best Jan
Happy St Pat’s Day . . . a day late . . .
Loved the Wild Pony pictures!
We've been to Assateague Island! We will never forget it because the mosquitoes were as thick as pea soup and as large as bats! Even the best insect repellent was no match for them! I prefer looking at the ponies through my computer.
We loved our visit there so much -- one of the highlights not only of our RV trip up the East Coast, but of our whole RVing years. It is a wonderful place and I wish we could visit again. Thank you for the beautiful pictures and the memories!
I would so love to go and see the wild ponies!
On a Facebook page for Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy they posted about 2 Trumpeter Swans that flew into a private neighborhood pond. I would have loved to see them, I remember seeing them when we lived in Alaska. But just like your picture of the ponies, I enjoyed the photos of them too!
Have a good week - More winter is on the way. At least that's what they're telling us.
Hi Eileen, Wonderful post as usual. Love the horses - brings back childhood book memories. We have all the critters here including wild horses except that the horses are not in my immediate community but rather about 80 miles N. at Paynes Prairie State Park. We do have a lot of the warblers and of course the herons. Have a super good coming week!
This post in regards to the ponies took me back to my childhood! :) Misty of Chincoteague
Happy first day of spring, dear Eileen.
