For my critter post I am sharing mostly bird photos from our visit to the Susquehanna River and Conowingo Dam. This time of the year you can usually see  a hundred or more Bald Eagles. We went a little early and these are some of the birds and photos from our visit.

Here is a Northern Pintail seen at the Pea Island NWR in the Outer Banks..


I believe this is a Peregrine Falcon..but could it be a Merlin?
Edited..thanks to Margaret and Phil for helping to id the bird above..it is a MERLIN..


I was surprised besides all the Brown Pelicans we saw in the Outer Banks, there were also lots of White Pelicans..


Brown Pelicans were seen flying up and down the beaches..

Bombay Hook NWR


I am linking up with   Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday 

For this week's post I am sharing more scenery and birds from our Oct 12th visit to Bombay Hood wildlife refuge in Delaware..  I know I have been flip-flopping with different post from this getaway weekend.  We saw some beautiful fall colors, lots of birds and some flowers were still blooming.



Above are some of the birds we saw at Bombay Hook NWR were the Snowy Egret, Savannah Sparrows, Lesser Yellowlegs, American Avocets, Peregrine Falcon, Pintail Ducks, Snow Geese, Ruddy Ducks and the Belted Kingfisher.





 The fall colors seen at Bombay Hook, the red were gorgeous...



A Great Egret flies away, in the distance some red leaves poking out and on the top of the trees.



I thought these yellow flowers were pretty, nice to still see some blooms in October. I hope you enjoyed seeing more of Bombay Hook wildlife refuge..


As always I thank you in advance for stopping by and for the nice comments.

I hope you can join in on our at  Mosaic Monday and   Our World Tuesday
