Happy Easter everyone!
These are some of my more recent neighborhood and backyard bird photos. The Great Blue Herons are nesting in the woods across from my driveway, they can be seen daily and heard making their weird noises. I took some shots also from the nearby fire road of the GB Heron on the nest. We have our very own neighborhood heronry.

Hi Eileen! I always enjoy your posts! I saw a Great Blue Heron in a tree yesterday and thought of you - They really are amazing, aren't they? Finches are changing color, and I wish the warm weather would get here and change the color of everything else!
Stay warm, and Happy, Happy Easter!! Take care!
I'm learning so much about what to look for in MY yard from YOUR posts.
I always get a little thrill when I see a woodpecker. They are much more common here than they were in Jacksonville.
Happy Easter to you also, Eileen.
Great photos for this weekend.
Love the Gold Finch photo. Very crisp!
Have a Happy WE!
Thank you for hosting.
Peace :)
Loved your birds and you're lucky to have your very own heronry :-D

Blessed Easter to you and yours, Eileen... may it be bright with birds! YAM xx
I enjoyed your critters, as always.
Now it is nesting time!
Have a peaceful Easter, Eileen and thanks for hosting!
Dear Eileen, Happy E=aster to you too! I've, once again, done an update post on domestic critters and linked to your meme. Thanks for hosting this. Have a great Saturday. Jo
nice to see the merganzers, they have not arrived at my place yet. :)
Wishing you and your family a Happy Easter :)
Gosh it looks like it is snowing with you in the Godfinch shsot but I oved seeing all your bird images today. Nice selections. Thanks for hosting and have a very Happy Easter.
I think we don't have the red bellied woodpecker here. It is a pretty bird!
From the tiniest to the huge heron, they are all beautiful. You have nature's gloriousness right there at your doorstep, and to share with us is, for us, a huge bonus. Happy Easter to you and yours.
Love the mergansers, in such good numbers too! Pine Warblers are one of my favorites, but they have been scarce here this winter, with one small flock in late autumn. Happy Easter!
Vim desejar uma linda e feliz Páscoa pra ti e teus! beijos, chica
Happy blessed Easter,

Good shots!
Happy Easter, Eileen!
Awesome pics :)
Happy Easter weekend.
so beautiful, all of these, i think my favorite is the gold finches, it 'speaks' to me
Congratulations on the heron nest building activity - not easy to capture. We have a heronry close to here but once the trees leaf out it disappears from view.
I would LOVE to follow the nesting ritual of those herons!
Wow, awesome post. Amazing photos! Thanks for sharing!
Cute birds, and the woodpecker perceived me. Happy Easter.
...lovely American Goldfinches, Happy Easter.
Hello Eileen!
Great post and wonderful pictures!
Great captures of the Blue Heron bird,the woodpecker,the preety ducks and the cute American Goldfinches!
Wishing to you and your family a blessed Happy Easter!

I love those ducks! And we have LOTS of goldfinches on our feeders right now and flocks of warblers in the forest. It's a great time to be here and see migrating birds. Enjoy your weekend! Hugs!
Love the herons! One of my favorites. Beautiful photos of the goldfinches and Red-bellied!
Hi Eileen, hope that you have enjoyed a great week.
It's so neat when one share images of such large birds gracefully doing what they do high up in the trees as you have shown the Great Blue Herons doing.
Love those Mergansers, they are always such a great bird to view and photograph, though I hardly ever get to see them.
Thank you for everything.
Happy Easter~
Wow! What a gang.
Happy Easter!
Our finches are sorting their bright spring colors too. Happy Day.
I love the Heron pics of course, Eileen! It looks like your Goldfinches are a bit more changed than the ones I've seen here.
I love blue herons I have lots of pics, but can't seem to get enough. If I see one, I'm chasing him down with my camera. You got some great shots. The pine warbler sure is pretty. Hope you have a wonderful Easter.
Thank YOU, E!
Happy Easter to you and your family, Eileen!
A lovely selection of critters in your post this week.
Have a lovely new week.
Eileen, cute pine warbler. Thanks for sharing.

Hello,
Wonderful post and images! You have so many different birds in your area.
Happy Eaater!
I want to know why we don't have goldfinches in Tampa!
Love the heron on it's nest! Such a nice warbler, too. Have a wonderful Easter!
Hi Eileen. Lucky you in having all those herons as neighbours. I think I would find the heronry a place to visit every day during the breeding season so as to watch all the comings and goings and listen to the noise. I spotted all that snow in the background of the goldfinches but I hope your weather has improved a little. Thanks for the join -up today and I hope you and your have a lovely Easter holiday.
Love the warblers.. I know there are some in our area but none here yet!!!
Once again super shots of the GB Heron! The American goldfinches are so pretty !
Lovely to see each one!
Thanks so much for hosting Eileen!
The woodpecker is so cute swinging on that feeder as he eats lunch. You have the greatest backyard ever. Thank you so much for hosting and Happy Easter to all.
Eileen - I can't imagine having herons nesting across the street! I look forward to more photos! Thanks for hosting, and Happy Easter!
I love your blog, Eileen and I admire your photos of birds !!
Have a Happy Easter !!
Beautiful. I saw some wild geese at the park this morning. And lots of crazy dogs. :)
Hello Eileen!:) What a treat to be able to see the Heron's nesting activity. Thank you for sharing all these pretty birds, and thank you for hosting. All the best this Easter Weekend.:)
Hi Eileen. I love your Great Blue Herons...they look so large, and healthy. I have seen more woodpeckers such as yours in my mulberry tree this spring. One day, there were two of them, and I love seeing them.
I hope to get back in gear and do some more blogging soon. but I try to come by frequently to catch up. Happy Easter, Eileen!
Beautiful birds! Happy Easter!
Beautiful images Eileen, love the Warblers, fantastic.
The third photo (ducks on the lake) is my favorite
Happy Easter!
Very nice, Eileen. I really love the woodpecker !
Eileen, Great Blue Herons are so beautiful...these are amazing!!!...:)JP
Beautiful!! Happy Easter..
How cool to have the herons so close to you.
I always enjoy seeing woodpeckers.
Happy Easter.
Happy Easter to you also Eileen! Very nice photos also. It doesn't matter what herons are doing, they always look grouchy!

A bright and happy selection, Eileen. I adore herons and haven't had luck tracking them down this week although they are supposed to be close by. I guess I'll eventually have to get out of the car, lol.
You are soooo lucky to have them across from your driveway. If I don't see some herons in early May I'm disappointed, but I know where to find them a little further out and I could sit there and watch them all day. It's so cool you're watching them in March.
Have a Happy Easter, my friend!
Hi Eileen, Great Blue Herons are such amazing birds. And I love the Pine Warbler! Thanks for sharing your photos and for hosting the link up. Wishing you and yours a Happy Easter! John
I have a critter post for you today! Yay! Happy Easter!
No wonder you love birds you are surrounded by them. The GB Heron is big and beautiful
Wonderful critters. I'm always so surprised to see herons up in trees! Happy Easter to you and yours!
Happy Easter! Your goldfinch photo could be a Christmas card!
Hi! I'm back from my cruise to Jamaica and wanted to stop by and thank you for visiting I'd Rather B Birdin' in my absence. Have a great day! Hope to see you soon.
Loved your birds and you're lucky to have your very own heronry :-D

Beautiful photos, as always, Eileen. Happy Easter, my friend.
I saw Harry the Heron for the first time today at the Ditch. Your stunning photo of the heron in its nest reminds me I must look up while the trees are still bare and who knows what I might discover. Bravo.
Beautiful pictures.
I hope you've had a good Easter Eileen.
Buen martes.
Besos.
