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 are some birds we saw at the Indian River Inlet, Delaware.  It is neat to see what kind of sea ducks can be found around the inlet.  During our shore getaways we make a point to stop at the inlet and look for birds. 

Below on the Indian River State Park beach are the larger Great Black-backed Gull and the smaller Ring-billed Gull. They were both pecking at a large fish on the beach.

I am not sure but I think this is the Horned Grebe, but I could be wrong. Let me know, if you agree?

We 5-6 Purple Sandpiper moving in and around the rocks on the jetty at the Indian River Inlet, Delaware. Enlarge the photos below and look closely at the rocks, you will see the Purple Sandpipers.

Ocean City, Maryland

Linking up with Skywatch Friday  and Good Fences  

These are photos from Columbus Day weekend, hubby and I went on an overnight trip to the Delaware shore and Ocean City, Maryland..  I am sharing a shot of the sunset at Bombay Hook NWR, the next morning we drove down the coast to Ocean City, Maryland. Also,  some fences that were on the beach for Tex's Good Fences and of course sky captures for Skywatch Friday..

 I always love to see the bird houses lined up on fences.. And the sky was beautiful on this shot.

 I was not sure if these were Fish Crows or maybe the Boat-tailed Grackle? 

These birds above were seen on a fence at the Indian River Inlet, Delaware

An unusual sight at Ocean City, Md the photo above has more birds than people.  

A mixed flock of Black Skimmer, maybe Royal Terns and lots of gulls.

 The sky and fence on the Ocean City beach.. The kite shop always has some kites outside their store..

Assorted colors of beaks, legs and on their bodies..

I just love the Black Skimmers, they are cool looking birds with their neat looking bill.

Another view of the fence, beach, kites, Great Black Backed Gulls and a gray sky..We had a fun time on our little getaway trip.. I love the beach..  I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.
