Saturday's Critters # 548

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

Happy Father's Day, I hope your day is great! 

 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!

1. I am sharing a mish-mash of photos from various dates, a walk at the Susquehanna River State Park. Spring is a great time to see lots of bluebells in bloom along the trail. Below is also a Chipping Sparrow, Slider Turtle and the Bald Eagle. 

The Bald Eagles are seen regularly at the Susquehanna River trail. 

2. Back home from our Arizona trip we visited DIL and our  sweet grandsons (they enjoy bubble time out in the yard) and our cute grand-dog Winnie the Corgi. 

3. The Pink Lady Slippers return every year along our local fire road trail.  

4. One day I could hear the Scarlet Tanager ❤️  in my back yard, I scanned the tree tops and found this beauty.  ☺️

5. I am not sure which bird is using this house, one time I looked it was a House Wren and the next time there was an Eastern Bluebird.  

6. One day I looked out my kitchen window and my neighbors Peacock was walking along our deck railing. I think it was pecking at the nuggets crumbs left by my yard birds.  This first sighting was on May 9th, it has been a visitor just about every day. 

7. Our walk on the local NCR trail, we saw lots of the Dames Rocket blooms, is it a Solitary or Spotted Sandpiper (I never saw the front of this Sandpiper), Common Yellowthroat Warbler, Gray Catbird, Eastern Phoebe and a Canada Geese family. I heard more birds than I photographed, heading back to the car I saw a Green Heron, it spooked easily and flew away. 😟

I never know what is going to show up in my yard, one week it was the Black Bear and the next week it is the Peacock. I am glad I am always looking out my windows. You never know what will be out there.  

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.

Our World, My World

 Happy Monday and Happy month of June!



Some times hubby and I are lucky to be able to take a hike on a day like this one. The weather was nice and the wildflowers were just beautiful.  These wildflowers were all along the river, most shades of purple but some were white.  

 A view of the Gunpowder River at an area called the Hemlock Gorge. Someone named Tom left their name on the Gorge sign. 

Just a few of the birds I saw and a Swallowtail Butterfly at the river. A Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher and the Louisiana Waterthrush are  summer residents.

 I watched a pair of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers across the river.  They have a cute sound. 

 I am guessing at the flower id, I believe these are the Dames Rocket, bloom in the late spring or early summer.

Pretty purple blooms by the river.  

The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail landed on a rock in the middle of the river. 

These were tiny little blooms..

A view looking down the river and some pretty tall hemlock trees. 

 This is one of our local places to walk and part of our reservoir's watershed. I hope everyone is doing well, take care and stay well.
