1. June 18th, here we are again on a walk with Miney to the lake. Miney and I enjoy our walks, listening to the birds and trying to find some for my photos. Below I watched an Osprey take a fish from the lake and fly to a nearby tree. The Canada Geese are a common bird seen at the lake. I also saw a mama deer and fawn across the lake from us.
2. June 19, my walk with Miney on our local fire road. She walks with her nose to the ground, she can quickly grab things off the ground and eat them. I have to lookout for the mushrooms so she doesn't grab them really fast.
3. June 20th, our walk with Miney was on the NCR trail in Parkton Md. We walked past a Black Vulture perched on top of a huge boulder on the side of the trail. It spooked Miney. The Lilies are blooming looking very pretty at this time.
4. June21st, my walk with Miney was along the road some and onto the nearby fire road. Coming back home we saw a deer eating weeds along our driveway and yard.
5. June22nd, another morning walk with Miney. We have to get early in the morning before it gets too hot. My walk with Miney was on the close by fire road, we sat on a log for a rest and listened to the birds and had a little view of the reservoir.
6. June 22nd, one of the birds I heard often on my walk was the Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher.
7. June 23rd, another neighborhood walk with Miney on the Prettyboy fire road. The Worm-eating Warbler is heard on all my walks lately. It shows up on the Merlin app as my Bird of the Day.
8. Flashback to May 2017, we were on a Washington State trip. These photos were taken in or around the Nisqually entrance to Mt Rainier National Park. The Elk were seen right off the road that leads to the park entrance.
May 2017, The Stellar Jay was a common bird we saw while visiting Washington State.
May 2017, The Varied Thrush was seen in multiple spot in Washington State.

Happy August, wishing everyone a great month!
Here I am chugging along, sharing photos from June. The photos are from my yard, our walks with Miney on the Prettyboy fire roads. Hubby's treatment is going well, it is something he will have to do for the rest of his life or try for the kidney transplant list which can take up to 5 years.

1. June 7th, Miney on the fire road. I hear the Ovenbirds during all my walks, they have a really loud sound.
I noticed on my walks, I hear the same birds in almost the same spot as previous walks. The Worm-eating Warbler is one that seems to stay in an area off of the fire road that is steep hill.
2. We bought some annuals for our deck, below are Honeybells a new plant for me, the Lantana and two different colors of Zinnias. I was happy to see a hummingbird at the Lantana.
"Let the birds of peace, fly around."
3. June 8th, a walk to the lake, we saw lots of Canada Geese and a couple of Double-crested Cormorants.
We have a Spirea bush in our yard, over the years it has grown really big. This year it had lots of pretty blooms.
4. June 10th, Miney decided she wanted to walk through the ferns off to the side of the fire road.
5. June 14th, a couple of the birds heard on my walk were the Hooded Warbler top left and the Pine Warbler top right.
At this time in mid June I was hearing the Cedar Waxwings while I was out on fire road.
6. June 15th, another walk on the local fire road with Miney, at home there was a deer on the neighbors driveway.
7. June 17th, a walk with Miney we saw a lot of Indian Pipe also known as Ghost Pipe. It is not a mushroom but a unique flowering plant. It does get it's nutrients from fungi and thrives in shady wooded areas.
8. My flashback images are from August 2022, a common bird seen year round, in and around my yard is the Tufted Titmouse.
This Tufted Titmouse could be sunning themselves or anting. Both are consider maintenance for their feathers.

I am continuing with a mish-mash of photos from the end of May and beginning of June.

1. May 26th, Pretty Dam and reservoir, a good spot to watch the Cliff Swallows that nest on the dam.
A walk with Miney on the Prettyboy fire road. A nice day for a walk, it was a pretty sky day.
2. May 29th, another local fire road walk to the lake with Miney. As usual I hear more birds than I can see, I did find an Ovenbird. The photo is blurry but you can see the black stripes on the bird's head.
3. Below are a few mosaics from May 30th, first are images of our walk with Miney on the NCR trail. The Mountain Laurels were blooming nicely. We saw a White-tailed Deer across the river.
Back in the yard, the Eastern Bluebirds were coming and going from the birdhouse.
A Great-crested Flycatcher perched on our deck railing and posed for some photos.
4. June 1st, another day and another walk with Miney. The peacock still comes for visits. This time he was hanging outside our basement door.
June 1st, the Peacock found a spot by our basement door, Miney can not see him there so the bird feels safe.
5. June 2nd, to keep a record of my backyard birds. I am sharing photos of an Eastern Kingbird, I am not sure what is in it's beak. The photos are not so good taken from a bedroom window.
6. June 3rd, Another walk on the local NCR bike trail with Miney. We saw a deer on the trail, luckily Miney did not see it, she pulls hard when she sees other critters. I captured one of two Damselflies hanging out near a picnic bench. A Black Rat snake was hanging on a fence over the creek and an American Goldfinch was perched high in a tree.
The Merlin App from our NCR trail walk, I was surprised it picked up a Green Heron. I have seen the Green Herons around the trail and bridge.
Miney on the bike trail, she gets excited to see people and other dogs or wild critters on the trail.
7. Flashback photos from our Ireland trip May 2023. The Eurasian Robin was one of my favorite Ireland birds.
Seeing sheep was a common sight while driving around the Ireland countryside.
Update on hubby: Thanks so much for the kind words and healing prayers. On July 21st, hubby had his 1st visit with the home therapy. On July 22nd, was his first session of outpatient dialysis. He seems to have his appetite back, he lost a lot of weight while he was in the hospital. He will be on a renal diet, I am sure he will not like it but I will be watching him closely.
