"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." John Muir

I do love my walks with nature, Miney and my hubby. Below are images from our local fire road trails, the NCR bike trail and I am sharing some of the bird that my Merlin App picked up on our walks.  

Click on images for better viewing.

1. Our front lawn with the blooming rhododendrons and the red maples and some tall pine trees. Miney was looking for the bunnies. 

Merlin picked up the sounds of 27 birds on my Prettyboy walk with Miney.  

Part of our rhododendron fell over this past winter from heavy snow.  

2. On this day we drove to the local Hemlock Gorge trail.  We saw lots of the Dames Rocket blooms.

I am not sure if this is a Spotted Sandpiper or the Solitary Sandpiper?  

3. The wildflowers were pretty seen along the Hemlock Gorge trail. 

The Gunpowder River at Hemlock Gorge. 

4. My morning walk with Miney, on the local fire road at Prettyboy.  The Siberian Iris in our yard are looking pretty. 

5. The NCR trail is one of our favorites for walking. Pretty wildflowers and wild azaleas, Miney and the Eastern Towhee, a Gray Catbird and views of the river.

I seem to be able to find the female Eastern Towhee, they tend to singing loudly.

Birds heard on my Merlin App while walking on the NCR trail in Parkton. 

6. A view of the rail to trail called NCR trail in Parkton Maryland.

7. Another day, another walk with Miney on the local fire road at Prettyboy!.
