I am sharing my mish-mash of photos, our walks with Miney, my back yard birds and a visit to see our grandchildren.
Click on images for better viewing.
1. March 22nd, another walk to the Prettyboy reservoir to see the Eagles nest. Our second time to check out the nest only to find it empty again.
2. March 22nd, while we were out walking with Miney the Peacock came for a visit. Who left the gate open? The peacock was sitting on our deck railing when we got home.
3. March 25th, fire road walk with Miney to the lake
4. March 25th, the Peacock was back sitting on the swing set.
5. March 29th, my back yard birds: the Peacock, Eastern Bluebird, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, Dark-eyed Junco and the White-throated Sparrow.
6. March 29th, on the NCR trail with Miney.
7. March 30th, we took Miney with us to visit with our son, DIL and our grandchildren. Winnie the Corgi had fun playing with Miney.
8. A flashback looking at a couple of my Florida favorite birds seen in a couple of favorite places.
Flashback images are from May 2015 Gatorland in Kissimmee Florida I am sharing a Cattle Egret. There was a large breeding marsh at the Gatorland Park, my main reason for visiting was to see all the heron and egrets in their rookery.
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.

Between Miney and the peacock, you've no end of friends. You have great bird photos. I can hear them on my back deck!
Good morning, Eileen – I don’t think I will ever see too much of Miney – what a cute dog – and the Peacock – what a beautiful bird. I especially enjoy your pictures taken along the NCR trail. I think I’ve mentioned before … I’m a railroad fan, especially the history of railroads. The abandoned rail beds are a fascination to me … walking them and thinking about the days when trains rolled along where I’m walking. Hope you’ll keep showing us more pictures along the trail. Now, your picture of the empty Eagle’s nest reminds me … I wanted to share something I just discovered this past week. The Big Bear Bald Eagle’s Nest Cam on YouTube. You are probably already watching 😊 There are two Eagles in the nest and they are going to fledge any day now … maybe today! I watched the nest for hours yesterday and was totally fascinated. Here is a link

Thanks, as always, for sharing and hosting Saturday’s Critters. Wishing you and your hubby a happy weekend and week ahead. John PS I forgot to mention … I also enjoyed the family visit pics!
Nice to see the friendly Peacock visiting again. Miney is enjoying her walks. Thanks for hosting and have a great weekend.
What?? A peacock was sitting on your deck railing?? I want to move to where you live, Eileen!!! That's so amazing!
Good Morning! Your "mish-mash of photos" just goes to show how wonderful nature, family and Miney are for you! Experiencing times like you do and seeing sights like these brings joy to every day life!
Thank you Jenn, for your link and comment.

Thanks for sharing the link for the eagle nest.
I am happy that the NCR rail to trail was created, we enjoy our walks along this trail. The Northern Central Railroad ran from Baltimore Maryland to York Pennsylvania, we have only walked sections of the trail. The trail changes names at the Md-PA line. Take care, have a wonderful weekend.
The great collection of birds you share is fascinating. Hooray for visits to see grandchildren. Fun play space. Happy weekend to you!
Thank you Ellen, for your comment and your visit.
It is always a joy to visit with the grandchildren.

It took me a long time to find my first Green Heron, after that I saw them everywhere. Take care, have a wonderful weekend.
Lovely shots, Eileen. Miney seems to be growing up fast and is a lovely dog. Thanks for hosting and have a great new week!
I guess you are the only one that shows up on Sat with a peacock! But you do have some lovely yard birds and cute grands...and hubby too! Hugs, Diane
Loved seeing Minie play with her "cousin" pup. Great bird assortment today!
You had some very pleasant walks. Spring is an interesting time when many birds return.
I can't imagine looking out and seeing a peacock sitting on the railing, Eileen. His tail is incredible.

Nice series of pictures. Love the Egrets.. Great pictures. Lovely peacock but they are noisy. Enjoy your week.
Thanks for the comment Missy!
Yes, the Peacock is very loud.
Have a wonderful week!
I had never heard of a Cattle Egret. Love the photos.
Thank you for the comment! The Cattle Egret is a lovely bird. Have a great day and happy week ahead.
As beautiful as peacocks are, I do not think I want one hanging around my yard. Well, if they were mute, maybe.....
Thanks for the visit and comment. The Peacock is very loud and has been calling often. I think he is looking for a mate to magically appear. Have a great day!
Good morning Eileen, thank you so much for extending your posting time for S-Critters I wasn't able to post until now, and it's Tuesday my day off. Great photos of your outings and it appears your Peacock is getting comfortable around you all. I know with ours it takes time. Ours is pretty busy all night long now with mating season upon us, and he was quite loud the other night. I feel so bad that he'll never have a mate here but is it possible that you have more than one around your area? Enjoy the week ahead.
Thanks Karen, I appreciate your critter link and post.
I think there are some female peacocks living on a farm just up the street. The Peacock has been calling night and day!
Take care, have a great week!
Awesome photos of birds dear Eileen 👍🥰
