As usual I am behind, posting my photos on our outings and walks in various parks, my neighborhood and my back yard birdwatching. These are all from November and some December photos.
1. Nov 1st, this mosaic and the next one are from our walk at the local Leister Park in Hampstead Md. They have a nice walking trail and I can usually find some birds. Below are images of the trail, a flock of blackbirds, a Squirrel and a unknown Hawk, we met and passed by a women and her three Corgis on their walk and there were some beautiful Autumn colors.
2. Also off the trail we saw a flock of Cedar Waxwings eating berries.
3. On the way home from the park above, I was driving down our street and saw this Bald Eagle on the ground eating something unknown.
4. Nov 3rd, we have many options for our walks around the Prettyboy watershed, this is one of our favorites. We saw a flock of Dark-eyed Juncos eating off the ground and a Turkey Vulture in flight and bottom left are the neighbors turkeys that she raises to sell for Thanksgiving.
5. Nov 5, Our walk on the NCR rail trail in Parkton, we saw a Great Blue Heron, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Carolina Chickadee, male Downy Woodpecker and a White-breasted Nuthatch.
6. Nov 7th, we drove a little further away for our walk at the Conowingo Dam and Susquehanna River. We wanted to see if the Bald Eagles arrived. We only saw a few Eagles both juvenile and adult Bald Eagles. There were plenty of Black Vultures, Cormorants and a Great Blue Heron and we saw a deer off the river trail below the dam.
7. Another walk on our local Prettyboy fire road, I saw lots of berries and a cute bunny.
8. Another fire road walk to the front section of the Prettyboy reservoir, we saw a group of Canada Geese and we saw that the female Hooded Mergansers have arrived for the winter.
9. Dec 7, I looked out my kitchen door and noticed our missing Peacock was back on our deck. He gobbled up some of the peanut suet nuggets that I feed my birds.
10. Bonus: Nov 10th, our granddaughter Sophie was baptized.
I am linking up to Heidrun's Mosaic Monday I hope you can stop by and visit Heidrun and check out the Mosaic Monday post.

Hello Eileen,
As always I like all your pictures. The Bald Eagle is one of my favorites. They are so beautiful. I love to see your granddaughter. She is so sweet. Take care, and enjoy your weekend!
Well, I overslept today... and now, first of all, best wishes for the granddaughter and gratulations. The first steps in Life, it such a sweet baby.
And of course I love the squirrel. Like the other birds too but most the funny squirrel. Here we have visits of bird on the feed place on the terrace. We watching their fights about the feed.
Mann greetings, Heidrun
Hi Eileen, Your walks in the parks, your neighborhood, and right in your own backyard provide so many delightful images. I enjoyed seeing so many Eagles! And, of course, it delights me to see the Peacock back on your deck. You did a great job going through your archive and picking out some images to share. And congratulations on granddaughter Sophie … she’s as cute as can be! ๐Thanks, as always, for sharing and hosting. Happy weekend to you and yours. John
Hello Eileen,

Hello Eileen :)
Your eagle shots are great images. The Waxwings and all the other small birds are delightful, and you saw so many different species of birds, but also other creatures that are no less beautiful and cute.The rabbit and squirrel were good finds and are both great images and also the three corgis. All the trails look inviting.and I'm so glad you shared the best for last. Your adorable granddaughter Sophie looking like a little princess in her little bonnet and baptism gown. Congratulations !
Thank you for hosting Eileen and have a good day.
All the best

Nice seeing the Corgis and the eagle. A beautiful photo of your granddaughter. Have a great weekend and thanks for hosting.
don't tell the birds, but Sophie in that bonnet stole the show today. so precious. the eagle was a close tie for show stealer. what ever he got was big. our vultures have been missing for a year or so, but since the storm we have seen two.
Your granddaughter is adorable!
May your granddaughter have a blessed life ahead of her...full of joy, humor, good health and love. I loved seeing the eagles, and can't believe one was right beside the road like that! Have a great rest of the weekend, keep warm and safe.
Sophie is a star, Eileen.
Love seeing the Bald Eagles.
Ahhh...sweet baptism photo of your granddaughter. Your eagle shots are amazing. Corgis are such cute dogs. Hope 2025 is going well for you!
I do love the squirrels. And that eagle-- what a great shot, definitely oblivious to the world with his catch (unless, I suspect, if one ventured too close.) Lovely bunny shot, too. And oh, that darling little baby girl! Look at that expression!
I love Cedar Waxwings and hope they stop off here this month. The Eagle was a wonderful sighting. Give that baby girl and hugs for me!
