Bombay Hook NWR, Delaware

Hello & Happy Monday!

Happy Labor Day!

Can you believe it is September already? The days and weeks are flying by. I am sharing some recent photos of an overnight trip to Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge in Delaware. We spent the night in nearby Dover Delaware. The shorebirds are on the move, we saw lots of Herons, Egrets,  flowers and the Slider Turtles.  


On the way, I found a sunflower field next to the road. 

A green heron playing peek a boo.

 Egrets were plentiful around the wildlife drive.

A couple of Slider Turtles sunning themselves.

Some views from our loop hike around the nature center.

From the Raptor Center, the Red-tailed Hawk and a Barred Owl. These birds are hurt and can not survive in the wild.

Happy Saturday, it's time to share your critters and post. Any kind of critter will do, even a new or old post.. I appreciate everyone who is linking in with this week's critter party.

Finally, we had some nice sunny weather. I have some birds and critters to share from home in Maryland. A few backyard birds in a mosaic and some scenes and critters from a walk at the local Hashawha Nature Center Park. 

Below are my yard birds: Red-Bellied Woodpecker, Cardinals, Blue Jay, Downy Woodpecker, Great Blue Heron near nest, Junco, White-throated Sparrow and a Tufted Titmouse. I included a pretty blue sky, some berries and my daffies.

The female Red-bellied Woodpeckers comes for a visit or a peanut.

I have seen as many as 6-8 Great Blue Herons flying around our neighborhood landing in the trees and their nest.

 The mosaic below is from our walk at the Hashawha Nature Center. They have a raptor center with rescued birds like the Barred Owl, Kestrel, Red-tailed Hawks and a Bald Eagle.  Near the lake we saw the Canada Goose, Cardinal, turtles, Tree Swallow, Song Sparrows and a Chipping Sparrow.

On the Nature Center property is the barn and silo. I thought it would be a good shot for Tom's Barn Collective.

A cute Slider turtle.

As always thanks for the visits and the nice comments. I also thank everyone who is linking up and sharing their critters.. Happy Saturday, have a great weekend!

After being away from my computer for a week or so, I will catch up with everyone's post as soon as possible. I am sharing some birds and critters seen on our walk to the local Hashawha Nature Center in Carroll County Maryland.

I believe this is a juvenile male Scarlet Tanager, I see dark wings which is a tell-tale sign.  But, I am always open to corrections.

A couple of juvenile Eastern Towhees.

Another juvenile Eastern Towhee.

Happy Labor Day weekend!

Happy Saturday, it's time to share your critters and post. Any kind of critter will do, even a new or old post.. I appreciate everyone who is linking in with this week's critter party.  On my previous post I shared just the Little Blue Herons, during our visit there were many more birds to be seen at this park. I am sharing some more of the birds and turtles seen during our visit to the North Point State Park.

One of the many Ospreys we saw during our visit to the park.

There was a family of Ospreys, above I captured three Ospreys on this one dead tree.

One of the many Great Blue Herons also seen at the park.

We also saw 4-5 Tricolored Herons, this one was right above us as we walked down the trail.

It may be hard to see all three Tricolored Herons, but they are all in this on one dead tree near the trail.

I was able to zoom in on the face of this Tri-colored Heron.

Above is the male Common Whitetail Dragonfly.

One of the many slider turtles we saw on this day. I hope you enjoyed our visit to the park and my birds and critters. Thank you for stopping by and for your nice comments. As always I appreciate everyone who is linking up to my Saturday's Critter party.  Have a great weekend!
