 Welcome to Saturday's Critters!

Hello and happy Saturday!

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!

Hubby and I enjoy some walks on our own without the grand dogs. On these walks I can enjoy looking for the birds and taking photos. These photos are from a walk on the fire road to the lake, I call this trail the Eagle nest trail. The Bald Eagles have been nesting here for years, I hope they have a successful nesting this year. 

1. Below are the pair of Bufflehead Ducks, Canada Geese, Common Merganser in flight, a flock of Common Mergansers, White-throated Sparrow, Cedar Waxwings, American Robin and the Bald Eagles. 

2. The pair of Bald Eagles are on the nest, later one flew off and sat on a nearby tree. 

3. The nest and this Eagle were across the lake and a good distance for my camera.  

4. We did see this pair of Buffleheads near the cove. 

5. A Common Merganser flew back and forth, not far from the Eagle's nest. 

6. The Canada Geese are always seen near this little island in the lake. 

7. We spooked a large flock possibly 20-30 Common Mergansers, I was able to catch some of them as they were flying away from the cove. I counted around 16 in the photo below. 

8. We also saw a flock of American Robins off the fire road, they found some berries to eat. 

9. On the fire road walking back to our car, we saw a flock of Cedar Waxwings. They found some berries and were chowing down. 

10. Prettyboy Reservoir, is one of three reservoirs owned by Baltimore City.  Prettyboy is the second largest and most remote of the three reservoirs located in Baltimore county. 

We never know what we will see at our lake, last year in this same spot I found a lone Long-tailed Duck. There are fire roads all around the reservoir.
