1. On the NCR bike trail, hubby, Miney and I had a nice day for a walk. We was able to captures the female Eastern Towhee and the Eastern Phoebe perched along the trail.
A closer look at the female Eastern Towhee, she is a beauty. The female has a brown head, back and throat, rusty sides and a white belly.
Back at home in the back yard, is the Peacock perched on the swing.
2. Below the Conowingo Dam, the Bald Eagles were plentiful.
Along the Susquehanna River trail, we saw lots of wildflowers. Top left are the Dutchman's Breeches, top right Yellow Woodland Anemone, bottom two are Bluebells just starting to open.
3. On the island in the middle of the Susquehanna River there is a Great Blue Heron rookery.
Below the Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River, we saw lots of Bald Eagles. They stop to eat some fish on their migration north. I counted five adult Eagles and two juvenile Eagles perched on top of rock in the background.
4. Codorus Reservoir, Hanover Pennsylvania. We had some extra time before meeting the family for lunch, we stopped for some views of the lake.
Bonus, we met up with my son and his family and my sister and her hubby on Easter Saturday. It was a dialysis morning, but we were able to meet for lunch. Hubby enjoys moments with the grandchildren, like a hug from our granddaughter Sophie.
We gave the grandkiddies their Easter baskets early, they all enjoyed the baskets, especially the bubble makers. It was a Happy Easter.

Good to see you again, Mr. Peacock! Awesome that you had a great family time, Eileen. Happy Saturday!
Such wonderful sightings, especially all those bald eagles. The wildflowers are lovely, and Sophie is absolutely charming!
Your neighbour has a peacock!
Hello, Hope you are doing well. Loved Miney's walk pics.
Beautiful birds, Eagles looks great. Loved family pics.
Happy Mother's Day Greetings.
Good morning, dear Blogfriend Eileen! Most I love the captures of family time today. Of course with the lovely grandkiddies. What wonderful moments with smilings.
Thank you for sharing and for hosting. Greetings by Heidrun ❤️
Grandkids are the best. I get to baptize my youngest this coming Sunday. Blessings to you and your beautiful family!
Beautiful and heartwarming photos, Eileen. Thank you for sharing, and I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Hello Eileen,
These are wonderful photos and collages.
The Eastern Red-backed Bunting is my favorite.
It is nice that you are enjoying the grandchildren so much, things can go differently, I know all about that.
I wish you a wonderful weekend.
All the best, Irma
Good that you had a lovely Easter with all family. Sophie is very pretty.
The collection of feathered friends and flowers you shared is nice. The trout lilies and new to me.
Take care and enjoy your weekend!
Oh, you have a swing, too :-)
And the wildflowers!
I never saw an eagle for real, not even in the zoo.
Great lake-pic. And so nice you have your family around, I miss mine.
Have a happy Saturday!
You are a real connoisseur of birds dear Eileen. And so many eagles in our surrounding. Great looks. You always make nice walks.
Have a good time and all the best
Violetta
Hello Eileen,
Lovely photos of birds, Minney, wildflowers and your grandchildren.
Take care, and have a wonderful weekend!
Tão lindos cada bichinho em mosaico e esse caminho do cabeçalho é lindo demais!
Os momentos com os netinhos fazem muito bem sempre e vê-los crescendo felizes é lindo! Adorei!
beijos, ótimo fim de semana,chica
How wonderful to see a rookery, we love watching the herons but haven't been lucky to see their nest. Love seeing the trout lilies at this time of year. We have a Sophie too, ours is almost 17. Have a lovely week.
I am enthralled with that peacock, although there must be a lot of bird poop!
You have the best trail to follow. Such critters.
This was a beautiful post te read and to watching. Thanks for sharing. Wish you all a pleasant weekend.
Lucky you to see that many Bald Eagles all at once while they are migrating! You have to time it just right to see this sight! A joyous Easter celebration it was for all of you! Thank You for the work you do in putting together your Saturday critter parties for us to virtually attend!
...wow Eillen, so many eagles! But you saved the best for last, your cuties are sure getting BIG! Thanks for hosting ,take care and be well.
I remember giving our granddaughters bubble makers. They make such great gifts. I agree that the Eastern Phoebe is a beautiful bird.
Hello, Eileen, Happy Mother's Day! A lovely blog entry from you today. Beautiful flowers and birds, and the kids look great too. Thanks for hosting. Have a good week.
Beautiful flowers and fabulous birdies. We're glad you got to have time with the grandchildren too.
Such a fun post and I love seeing the eagles! The Grands sure are cute!
Another amazing post of yours with great birds, that I hardly, if ever see. I love your trout lilies. Such beautiful delicate flowers. And your grandkids are wonderful. Nothing like a bubble maker to make kids happy. I love bubblemakers as well.
Thank you for hosting.
Loved seeing the eagles. They take my breath away. I learned to call the towhees Rufus Sided Towhees and would always see them scratching along in the leaves, never in trees. Are those two different towhees?
Wow! Beautiful series of photos of Mother Nature's gifts ~ Your grand daughter is beautiful ~ awesome photo and lovely family ~ Miney too ~ Hugs ^_^
Wonderful shots.
You are so lucky to see so many eagles, Eileen. The grandkids look so cute. Have a wonderful Mother's Day.
You make many good walks to get some of thee shots. Birds don't exactly pose for you.
So many Blue Herons! Agree the trout lilies are absolutely beautiful.

you are one lucky woman!!! awesome images today, those children, they are so sweet. if not for the bald eagle, they would have stolen the show. i love the picture of the hubs with miney!!!
It was great to see the smaller and larger birds here this morning. Looks like a good Easter with your family. Sweet photo of granddaughter with your hubby! Happy Mother's Day to you, Eileen!
Your grandchildren are so adorable, Eileen! I loved seeing the spring wildflowers in your area as well as all the birds.

That's pretty special to have a peacock at home, in the UK it would be only the stately homes that have these roaming the grounds! I have enjoyed reading your post, I too love a hug from my grand daughter and no wonder those bubble machines were a bit hit!
Have a happy week
