Bald Eagle

Hello,


Happy 4th of July, wishing everyone a safe and great holiday!

I think the Bald Eagle is a perfect symbol for our nations independence day.

. 

For my Wild Bird this week I am sharing the Bald Eagle. We saw so many eagles while visiting Washington State,  some posed nicely on the tree tops.

The Bald Eagles have been making a great come back in many states. They are common to see around Washington state. They like to be around large bodies of water with an abundant food supply. I wonder with our new head of the EPA and regulations being reversed how fast will the poisons be back big time affecting the birds and wildlife.

The Bald Eagle is the national bird of the USA.

Both the male and female are alike in plumage, but the female can be 25 percent larger than the male.

The Bald Eagle is known to build the largest nest of any North American bird.

I hope you enjoyed my photos. The Bald Eagle is always a treat for me to see. 

Thank you for stopping by and as always I appreciate your comments.

My list of memes for today, I hope to see you there. Thanks to both of the host below.

Saturday's Critters #81

Saturday's Critters #81

Happy 4th of July everyone! It is Independence Day for the United States, the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776. It is also a day for families and friends to enjoy the parades, fireworks and the BBQ's. Have fun and be safe!

It's Saturday and it's time to share your critters.. Any kind of critter will do, even a new or old post.. I appreciate everyone who has linked up in the past and for those who are linking in on this week's critter party. And of course I always appreciate my blogging friends stopping by just for a visit.

For my critters I am sharing some shots of the Black Vulture and our grandpuppy Nibbles. We watched Nibbles for four days while my son went on a little vacation. It was fun having a dog around the house and Nibbles was well behaved during her visit.

This Black Vulture was eating the peanut suet balls I put on our deck railing for the song birds.

When I looked out, there were 4 Black Vultures on our deck. Three were on the pergola and one walking around.

I am not sure what attracted these Black Vultures to our deck. They were eating the regular bird food and drinking water I put out for my yardbirds.

Nibbles was not happy seeing the Black Vulture out on our deck. She was looking out the window whining and crying.

Nibbles, hubby and I took a walk on our local fireroad trail near our house.

Isn't Nibbles cute?

A bunny seen on our deck. The bunny has to hop up a few steps to get to this spot.

Nibbles says goodbye for now, she will be back to visit again in July..I hope you enjoyed my photos and critter post. Now, I am looking forward to see your critters. Thanks for your visits and comments. Have a happy weekend!



Above is a Youtube video of the Black Vultures on the street in front of our house.  A dangerous place for them to hang out.
