Link up your post and share your critters, join in with my critter party ! You can share any kind of critters the real ones, pretend ones, statues and paintings, a new or old post!
For my critter post, I have mostly birds and two cute furbabies we met while walking on the River to Sea Beach Park and near the Washington Oaks State Park. Osprey eating a meal at the top of a light pole, Starlings and a nearby Hawk.
The Osprey watching the Starlings above on the pole.
We saw a lot of Sanderlings and Ruddy Turnstones.
Ruddy Turnstones on the coquina rocks near Washington Oaks State Park.
I am guessing at the id below, the Royal Tern.
Dogs just love hubby, we met these two goldendoodles while in Florida. They were cute and friendly.
Thanks to all my visitors and for all the wonderful comments. I appreciate everyone who loves critters and has linked up their post.

Funny about the Osprey watching the little black birds. Starlings you say. Hmmm...
Goldendoodles are such playful pups.

Wonderful sightings! I like the terns.
Hello Eileen,
Beautiful photos. The Osprey are my favorite. My neighbour have a black doodles and it's a very nice dog.
Have a nice day and weekend!
Great image of the Starling and the Osprey Eileen and I love those 2 dogs. Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful weekend.
what wonderful pictures of the birds, the turnstones are also with me, I think it's great to see them and the tern. The Osprey is great with the star! The Dogs are so nice!!
Have a nice Weekend, Elke

Hehe, I love the ending of this post! Not that your birdies are unappreciated - but a friendly dog is always good value &*> YAM xx
...I love the shore birds, thanks for hosting Eileen.
The Osprey is absolutely my fvourite, even though the two doggies are friendly and nice.
Have a great weekend!
Hello Eileen,
These are nice series of photos.
I think the osprey is great, I also love dogs, unfortunately our dog is no longer there.
Do you want to place my link, I can't do that.
I wish you a very nice weekend.
Best regards, Irma
Sempre fotos bem captadas e hoje destaco a do cachorro!Adoro! beijos praianos,chica
starlings and ospray? A great pair it seems :)
Loved to see the birds in the foamy water. Makes me think it would be fun to be a bird for a while :)
Have a great week :)
I'm surprised that the Starlings can stay so close to the Hawk!
Wishing you a nice weekend, Eileen!
Thanks for hosting!
I like how you captured the flow of the waves on the rocks. Nice birds and cute pups. Starlings always hang around our local Osprey nest. They know how the Ospreys never quite finish a meal and provide them plenty of leftovers.
Friendly dogs are wonderful, and I seem to be a bit of a magnet too, but one jumped up the other day and coated me with mud from his paws from the chest down. That I can do without!
Wonderful photos, Eileen. The birds are always nice to see and the dogs look very friendly. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for hosting.
Love the critters you captured this week. There's something special about terns, I think.
Feel free to share at My Corner of the World
Hello Eileen,
What a nice birds. Great to see that bird of prey in your first two shots.
And what a nice birds on shot 5. Wonderful.
Warm regards,
Marco
The ospreys are quite magnificent, Eileen, lovely photos of them. I seem to attract all sorts of animals when I'm out walking too. I think they have a sixth sense about who loves them :-)
PS: And thank you for hosting, Eileen. Have a great new week!
I enjoy watching Ruddy Turnstones, not least because they are one shorebird that’s even I can identify! And their behavior is quite amusing., Nice walk as always. Thank you for hosting.
Nice shorebirds! Always great to photograph an osprey! I haven't seen one in a few years.
I miss the osprey, sitting high on their nesting platforms, scowling at us!
Great critters. Things are pretty quiet around us, but you have to look closely.
Thanks for hosting!
Hello Eileen. Wonderful photos. Royal terns look so awesome. Have a great weekend. Thank you for hosting.
I wonder what they think of that thing!
Hi Eileen!!!.. Nice place and shot... Have a great weekend
I love those interesting rocks! And the dogs are neat too! Lots of pretty shore birds when you spend time at the beach! Happy Saturday!
great photos!
Great shots! Love the 3rd one especially! Goldendoodles are so cute!
I am all about MUTTS as in Heinz 57 mutts, but if I were going to buy a breed, it would be the golden doodle or the labradoodle. they are so sweet and cute... we saw the biggest Owl we have ever seen, in Washington Oaks state park. a lovely park and the owl appeared to be 2 or 3 foot tall, sitting up in the oak, turning his head 360 degrees watching us.
Great birds and dogs photo. Thanks for hosting and happy weekend!
The stones around the lapping sea and churning waves look like a nice place to land for birds.
oooooh eileen, we are on the same page today!!! the terns are beautiful, what a great picture. i love the picture of the water flowing over the rocks like a waterfall!!
have a great weekend, and many thanks for hosting!!!
Hello Eileen. I think the Starling was hoping to pick up a few scraps when the Osprey had finished the meal? Those goldendoodles are lovely but they do look quite a handful. Maybe best to let other people own them and you and hubby enjoy the occasional meeting? The terns picture is super and although we don't have Royal Terns over here, I'm sure that is what they are.
Thanks for the weekend link up.
Lovely birds, Eileen. I've never learned shore birds identification...somehow they all look pretty much alike to me.
I though those Starlings were quite brave until I read the comments above and realized they were waiting for leftovers! Thanks for hosting us, Eileen!
I had never heard of Goldendoodles, so cute:)
The starlings and osprey on the lamp post are quite interesting.
Thanks for hosting Eileen and have a wonderful weekend.
Cute pups! I don't think I have ever seen a Royal terns, but then I have a small assortment to choose from out here. I need to go out to the lake and see what I can see. Have a great weekend!
Complimenti per le splendide fotografie.
A volte ci dimentichiamo di guardarci intorno e di ammirare tutte le meravigliose creature che il signore ci ha donato.
Hello Eileen
beautiful photos in your blog again. The seagulls look very beautiful. There are also very beautiful lines with birds and other animals.
I was late in the morning because I was already at work at 5 o'clock this morning and I arrived home just half an hour later.
Have a great evening.
Greetings, helma
Love the photos, especially the friendly dogs.
Have a great weekend!
Hi Eileen, Nice work on another fine Saturday's Critters here. Thank you for taking us along on your visits to the walk to River to Sea Beach Park and Washington Oaks State Park. The name "Washington Oaks" struck my curiosity and so I had to Google it and came up with a neat link to the State Park website

What a great spot to visit. My favorite photo in this Saturday's edition is your shot of the Royal Terns. A Happy weekend to you and yours!
I adore sanderlings and used to have a print featuring two of them. Osprey are amazing and it reminds me that soon the bird cams will be up and running. Ahh, spring.

Love dogs.
Great collection of critters!!
I see Ruddy turnstones in late summer here. Love those creatures.
Another fun post, I enjoyed seeing the cool dogs and the birds,....Have a safe weekend.
I love the shot of the water and the cute dogs!
I've not heard of that dog breed. They're cute!
Those osprey images are terrific Eileeen.
Thanks for sharing with us at I'd Rather B Birdin'.
It's delightful to see you at 'My Corner of the World' this week!

Starlings are dared to stay close by osprey and so friendly cute golden doodles seem to be gentle as well.
My favorite photo from this series is the Royal Terns - beautiful birds!
Have a blessed day!
Great capture of the osprey on the street light!
I love the Osprey, the Starling is waiting, no chance.
Wonderful shore bird photos and love the labradoodles ~ ^_^
Happy Moments to You,

For some reason, I always thing the Royal Terns are a strange looking bird. I cannot for the life of me see what about them makes me think they are strange.
The golden doodle acts like he thinks your hubby has a treat just for it.
If I were that Starling, I'd be a bit nervous around that Osprey - But I guess not!
Of course good shots of the sea birds, and I love those fun 'doodles!
Lovely selection of photos. Great to see the osprey and the starligs together! The last photo made me smile, that's how dogs greet me and Crafty Green Boyfriend too!
Super selection of photographs here Eileen, a pleasure to look at.
Thank you.
All the best Jan
Awe, I just love those pups! Seeing your critters are fun even if I couldn't post work just gets in the way of blogging, but this coming weekend I have off and fun outdoor stuff to capture and create a post for critters on Saturday!
Um belo passeio de sábado, recheado de fabulosas imagens! Belíssima partilha!
Adorei ver! Beijinhos
