Saturday's Critters # 483

Welcome to Saturday's Critters!

Hello and happy Saturday!

 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!

I booked this Southwest vacation trip back in early December,  a 5 night 6 day trip to Puerta Vallarta Mexico. I enjoyed birding at our resort for the first couple of days. The first day was a long day traveling, we flew from Baltimore to Phoenix with a short layover than on to Puerto Vallarta. The worst part of this day was sitting on the runway for 45 minutes at Puerta Vallarta waiting for a gate to open so we could unload. 

1. March 5, below are some of the birds seen at our hotel. First row: Great-tailed Grackle, Tropical Kingbird, Yellow-throated Warbler, Orchard Oriole. Second row: Cinnamon-rumped Seedeater, Heermann's Gull, Whimbrel, unknown Sandpiper. Third row: Frigatebirds, Northern Rough-winged Swallows, Rock Pigeon and Snowy Egret.

2. Snowy Egret and a unknown Sandpiper on the beach at the resort.

3. A Whimbrel on the beach at the resort. 

4. Tropical Kingbird, looks pretty with the yellow belly.

5. This couple is the Cinnamon-rumped Seedeater.

These are images from our visit on May 18th to the Susquehanna River State Park in Maryland. The Conowingo Dam is known for attracting Bald Eagles, a Great Blue Heron rookery and possibly Cormorants nesting. The birds must find the fishing to be easy right below the dam. 

This is one of the 3 Bald Eagles we saw in the trees at the parking lot. 

Double-crested Cormorants perched on rocks in the middle of the river.

Way across the river the Bald Eagles were hanging out with the Great Blue Herons. I see 4 Bald Eagles and at least 3 Great Blue Herons.

 I missed seeing the Baltimore Orioles but I did see an Orchard Oriole. 

 The river trail is also known for seeing spring warblers, the only warbler I was able to get clear shots of was the Yellow-throated Warbler. 

Another Bald Eagle perched in a tree.  

I appreciate and thank everyone who links up their post and for all the wonderful comments !
