Saturday's Critters # 571

 Welcome to Saturday's Critters! Hello and Happy Saturday!


 If you love all God's creatures like I do and also like to blog about them and take critter photos this is where you can share your critter post. Link up your post and share your critters, join in with my critter party ! You can share any kind of critters the real ones, pretend ones, statues and paintings, a new or old post!


These photos are from August 22nd, day two at the Bombay Hook NWR in Delaware. This wildlife refuge always seems to have a great variety of birds to see. 

Click on images for better viewing!

1.Below are mostly Great Egrets, possible juvenile Little Blue Herons and a couple of American Avocets.






2. On the edge of the pond are a group of Mute Swans.





3.  I saw one Black-necked Stilt with a few Egrets.





4. Two Bald Eagles in the distance and closer to the drive was a group of Double-crested Cormorants and an Egret.






5. We saw the two Sandhill Cranes, these birds drew a lot of attention from birdwatchers and photographers.

Now there are 5 Sandhill Cranes being seen.







6. A Great Blue Heron looking beautiful. 






7. A fox was seen walking toward our car. I like it's shadow.





8. Near one of the ponds was a group of Black-crowned Night Herons, most of these looked like juveniles. There was one Green Heron hanging out on the top photo far left. 






9. How many night herons do you see below?






10. Here is a closeup of the Green Heron. 




11. An Osprey flew and landed very close to the Night Herons and the Green Heron. 



Further along the wildlife drive we saw a group of shorebirds and I believe there may be some Yellowlegs and American Black ducks in this group below. 





I hope you enjoyed my visit to the wildlife refuge. 

My most recently finished puzzle, I love these birds.

These photos are from our Aug 21-22 visit to Delaware and the Bombay Hook NWR. This wildlife refuge always seem to have lots of birds. Some are birds are breeders and some are just visiting. My first post for this getaway is here Black-bellied Whistling Ducks in Delaware . 


1. Top left American Goldfinch, possible juvenile Cooper's Hawk, Yellowlegs, Monarch Butterfly, juvenile Little Blue Heron, I am guessing the last bottom right is an Eastern Phoebe. 





2. Bombay Hook NWR is always a good place to see the American Avocets. 





3. Blue Grosbeak looking handsome.




Eastern Kingbird and the top photo includes an American Goldfinch. 




4. Various shorebirds, I see a few Black-bellied Plovers. 





5. Various shots of the Great Egrets, there may be some Snowy Egrets mixed in. 







6. We did not have to go to Florida to see the Sandhill Cranes, these two spent most of the summer at Bombay Hook NWR. 





7. Sandhill Crane couple.







8. These two birds caused a traffic jam on the wildlife drive. 






9. Great Blue Heron with lunch.






10. Avocets, Great Egret and possibly Dunlins in flight.





I hope you enjoyed my photos from Bombay Hook NWR, it is one of my favorite places to see the wildlife.


Bonus image: my two grandsons were dinosaurs for Halloween. They looked so cute!




Hubby and I have both been sick this week, so I have missed visiting blogs this week. I hope we are both back to normal, it's not fun being sick.
