Saturday's Critters #242

Welcome to Saturday's Critters!

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!

These are my critters for today's critter post. On the way home from our local bike trail we road past this farm with two donkeys and two horses.  I had to stop and take some photos, I love donkeys.

My hubby met and talked with an older local man while hiking on our local fire road trail, the man  told hubby about another eagle's nest nearby that we did not know about.  So July 18th we hiked this fire road to find the eagle nest. It was too late to see the eagles but now we know where the nest is for next year. We have lived here almost 29 years and we still have not hiked all the local fire roads.

While checking out the Eagle nest, I noticed  a duck far away floating in the lake just under the nest, it turned out to be a Red-breasted Merganser.  This bird is rare to be seen in Maryland this time of the year. Are the winter birds already on the move?

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

Here is a list of my linky parties;

Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!

Walking the trail

Hello

Wow, do you believe it is September? I wish I could slow time down, summer has flown by. I am sharing another one of our walks on the NCR trail and a few sky shots from home.

While walking on the bike trail I am always on the look out for birds. I am not sure but this bird below looks like a cowbird?

The NCR trail at Bentley Springs, some wildflowers along the trail and the Bee Tree Creek.

Our shadow shot includes a fence shadow, A Monarch, bunny and a Tufted Titmouse.

On the drive home from the trail we pass by this farm, they have the cutest donkeys. I captured one barn for Tom's Barn Collective.

I love these donkeys, they are so cute!

I enjoy spending my time skywatching! Our sunsets have not been the greatest, the skies have been clear. I managed to find some colors in the sky on this day.
