I am sharing some photos from April 13th and our walk on the nearby NCR Bike trail.
1. April 13th some of the nature scenes included a few birds, White-tailed Deer and lots of flowers.
2. We saw 3 White-tailed Deer running across the bike trail. I could only capture the last one running off. Can you find the deer? A blink of the eye he was gone into the woods.
3. I am not sure of this Hawk, possibly a Cooper's Hawk or Sharp-shinned Hawk. It flew across the river and landed on the ground. I am sure something was under this hawk's feet.
4.The Eastern Phoebe has been seen near the river and bike trail often during our walks.
5. April 15th our walk to the lake with the grand-dogs. Nothing new seen on this day the usual Canada Geese and some Double-crested Cormorants.
6. April 16th on our deck railing the White-throated Sparrow was eating some peanuts.
7. April 16th, our walk to the lake with the dogs, again we saw more Double-crested Cormorants hanging out.
8. April 17th, hubby and I hiked at the nearby Hemlock Gorge area, I heard the Lousiana Waterthrush calling but it would not pose for a photo. I did capture 2 Canada Geese with a Mallard.
9. April 20th, our walk to the lake with dogs, we saw more DC Cormorants, a first time seeing 3 Terns flying over our lake and a Slider Turtle was out sunning on the rocks.
10. One of the 3 Terns I saw flying around our lake, they seem out of place here. I usually see Terns along the coast. I am guessing with the large colorful beak it is a Caspian Tern?

I am seeing more of our breeders moving back into our area. I have been out for walk on most days, looking for new birds and photos.

Since I am only posting once a week with my Saturday's Critters I am able stay a little more up to date sharing photos. These images are from the middle of April. I am always looking for birds on my walks with the grand-dogs. Some times for a new location hubby and I will drive somewhere for our walk.
1. April 8th, we drove around our Prettyboy reservoir, taking photos of the lake and dam. There was one Double-crested Cormorant hanging out, we did see some ducks but they moved away quickly.
2. April 8th after checking out the dam, we drove past the Friendly Farm's pond to see if any new ducks or birds showed up. I did see a few Blue-winged Teals, possible Gadwall or female Mallard?
3. April 8th, we have had a lot of rain which makes the lake water look more brownish like muddy water. The Canada Geese did not seem to mind the muddy looking lake water.
4. April 9th, our walk on the fire road with the grand-dogs. This trail is mostly covered with pine needles.
5. April 9th, I spread out some peanuts loose and in the shells for my yard birds, usually the peanuts disappear quickly. This female Cardinal may have missed out on getting a peanut.
6. April 11th, another walk to the lake with the dogs, we saw more Double-crested Cormorants, Canada Geese and some wildflowers.
7. April 11, I have multiple bird houses in our yard but this chickadee is nesting in a dead tree that we left for the woodpeckers.
8. April 12th, I drove hubby for his eye checkup and we made a quick stop at the area known for seeing the Yellow-crowned Night Heron nesting about the Jones Falls in Baltimore.
9. April 12th, a view of the Jones Falls and the Yellow-crowned Night Heron.
Hubby and I celebrated our 32nd Anniversary on May 4th, we have had 32 years of happy times and great memories.

I have been feeding my yard birds some peanuts in and out of the shells. The peanuts attract some of my favorite yard birds, I see the Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Downy Woodpeckers, Blue Jays, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Chickadees, Cardinals, I am still seeing the winter birds like the White-throated Sparrows and the Dark-eyed Juncos.
1. April 5th, the Blue Jays love the peanuts, they sit in the trees and just squawk letting me know they are hungry.
2. The Blue Jays seen waiting for the peanuts to be put on the deck railing.
3. A Tufted Titmouse can be quick at grabbing a peanut and flying off.
4. A mosaic of Blue Jays, Tufted Titmouse and a Eastern Phoebe almost hidden behind the branches.
5. April 6th, Nibbles and Winnie take a walk on the fire road.
6. A Double-crested Cormorant is seen at the lake.
7. April 7th, the dogs warned me by barking when they heard a banging on the window, I looked out and saw an American Robin sitting in the rhododendron outside out window. A Cardinal looked on watching the Robin banging against the window.
8. A larger sized photo of the American Robin, crazy bird survived the window.
9. The Male Cardinal sitting on the gutter watching the Robin, saying I've been there, done that.

I have a mish mash of photos from our walks on the fire road, the grand dogs Nibbles and Winnie and a bonus image. 🐰 🐤 🌼
1. March 26th, hubby and I took a walk on the NCR bike trail without the dogs. We passed a few other dog walkers and I saw and heard many birds. I could only catch one photo of a Sparrow in the brush along the trail.
2. A closer look at the Sparrow, is it a female White-throated Sparrow or a Song Sparrow. I need to see the front of this bird, I did hear some WT SParrows during our walk.
3. March 26th, back at home I see a grab and go Tufted Titmouse grabbing a peanut and taking off quickly.
4. March 30th, our walk to the lake with the grand-dogs.
5. April 2nd, taking the grand dogs for a walk to the lake. Looks like someone else likes our favorite spot at the lake.
Bonus plus critters, we met up with our son and his family for lunch in Waynesboro Pa. Across the street from the restaurant was a dairy farm, I always love seeing the cows.
