Welcome to Saturday's Critters !
Hello and happy Saturday!
If you love all God's creatures like I do and also like to blog about them and take critter photos this is where you can share your critter post. 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!
Taking a break from the Kauai vacation photos, I have images from our daily outings. Hubby and I are still trying to take our walks, sometimes just locally on the fire roads and to the lake, we have visited Conowingo Dam and Susquehanna River State Park and another local park called Irvine Nature Center.
Click on photos for better viewing.
1. Oct 6th, our walk was local to the lake. We usually always see some Canada Geese, a Northern Flicker was calling out from high in the tree and a Double-crested Cormorant was on the lake.
2. Oct 7th, another walk on our local fire road. We are seeing lots of berries, looking very colorful. A Hermit Thrush was seen and we have been seeing lots of American Robins.
3. The Hermit Thrush is a pretty bird, posing nicely for my photo.
4. Oct 9th, I saw this Ruby-crowned Kinglet hopping around on the ground right in front of me.
On this day we walked to the lake, the fall colors are looking pretty. Two Double-crested Cormorants were hanging out at the lake.
5. Oct 15th, hubby and I drive to the Conowingo Dam and the Susquehanna River State Park. We saw a few Bald Eagles, lots of Black Vultures, Great Blue Herons, Canada Geese, Gulls and Cormorants.
This Bald Eagle looks like it is holding on tight to a fish.
6. I liked watching these gulls, sometimes diving in the Susquehanna river hoping to catch a fish.
7. Oct 20th, hubby and I took our walk at a local county park called the Irvine Nature Center. We saw the Northern Flicker, Mockingbirds, Eastern Bluebirds, lots of camera shy birds, White-throated Sparrows and a few unknown raptors.
8. A larger look at the raptor, we watched 4-5 of these raptors chasing each other. They seemed very vocal.
9. A closer look at one of the Eastern Bluebirds, one of my all time favorite birds.
A bonus photo from Halloween, my two cute grandsons, Wyatt the Baby Yoda and Mason the pumpkin.

ReplyDeleteSpectacular views and wildlife encounters. The Hermit Thrush, and the sweet capture of the Ruby-crowned Kinglet are really lovely, and the gorgeous Bluebird and Raptor images are rather special.

Thank you Marit!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend.
loved to see the Ruby-crowned Kinglet. I think it is three years since I saw one. They are here but rarely seen. I hope your grandsons liked their outfit. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Monica! The KInglets are sweet little birds, I here and see them often in the winter here.
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend.
Good eye seeing that eagle.
ReplyDeleteThank you William! It is always a thrill to see the Eagles.
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend.
Your two grandsons are so so adorable! On our daily walk we usually hear lots of different birds singing, but I don't think that we have ever encountered any ruby-crowned kinglet. Thank you for sharing them, Eileen.
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie! The Kinglet is a cute little bird, a treat to see.
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend.
I especially liked the closeups of the thrush, bluebird and kinglet. Wish we had more berries around our home. The landscapers 'cleaned up" the property and took our nearly all the trees and bushes, replacing it with mostly wildlife-friendly plants which need to mature before producing abundant fruit.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ken! The wildlife-friendly plants are great to have around the yard, the berries are colorful and pretty.
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend.

ReplyDeleteOh isn't that wee Thrush just a delight?!! Another fab collection... YAM xx
Thank you Yam! The Thrush is a pretty bird, a treat to see.
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend.
And the Ruby-crowned Kinglet even showed you his crown! Maybe next Halloween one of the costumes could be a bird! I guess that kids will decide that!
ReplyDeleteThank you David! The Kinglet was a treat, he was showing off.
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend.
You have the best adventures! Thanks for hosting!
