1. The Peacock visits our deck late January, he feels safe as long as Miney is inside the house.  Just days later the yard was covered with snow. 





2.  Miney does not seem to mind the snow, she likes going outside.  




I often think of our first two dogs, Sunshine was a yellow Labrador and Daisy was a Golden Retriever. I will always miss them, they were great dogs.  They both loved playing fetch, hiking and swimming. 





3. Not a critter but I thought it was a pretty skywatch. One evening I watched the sunset turn the sky pink/purple and the trees were still covered with ice/snow.




From my archives I am sharing various critters seen during our travels. 



A group of adult and juvenile Bald Eagles seen at the Neah Bay marina, Washington state. 






 Below are two moose, a mama and her calf seen in the Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.







6. Seals seen at the Nisqually NWR in Washington state.






From our visit to a sheep farm in Ireland.







A herd of elk seen off the road to the Olympic coastline in Washington state.




Seen off the wildlife drive in the Savannah NWR in Georgia, we saw a baby alligator sitting on top of a turtle.

Saturday's Critters # 400

Hello and happy Saturday!

My first Saturday's Critter linky was on Dec 7, 2013. As long as I have critter lovers joining in with my critter party, the linky will go on and on. Thanks to all who participate with Saturday's Critters. 

July 11th, we met up with a friend for lunch in York Pa. It was the first time meeting up since Covid started, at least a year and half went by. Hubby and I left a little early and took a walk around the Kiwanis Lake in York Pa to see the Great Egret and Black-crowned Night Heron rookeries. 


1. The Kiwanis Lake in York Pennsylvania. 



2. In the tallest pine trees across the lake are the Great Egrets and their nest. 


3. A closer look at the Great Egrets at their rookery.




4. Most of the Great Egrets nest were in 3 tall pine trees standing close together. 



5. The juvenile Great Egrets have grown a lot since our last visit to the rookery. 




6. Various images of mostly juvenile Black-crowned Night Herons. On this visit we saw more juveniles than adult night herons. 



7. A Slider Turtle is seen with 3 juvenile Black-crowned Night Herons. 



8. A juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron standing on the pipe.




9. In the background and on the left side of the stick and the juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron is an adult Night Heron. The adult heron's and the nest must be hidden in all the greenery.


10. I count as many as 7 juvenile Black-crowned Night Herons below, some only small parts are seen. 



I hope you enjoyed seeing these Great Egrets and Black-crowned Night Herons.  We had a nice walk, visit with the birds and our friend. 

I am also linking up to Anni's blog party found here I'd Rather B Birding   Anni always has some beautiful birds to be seen on her blog, check it out!

Can someone tell where September went, this month just flew by. These are some images from our more recent fire road walks and walks around the lake.

This Great Blue Heron was way across the lake and the photo was fuzzy, so I used Lunapic to make more of a watercolor painting of my Great Blue Heron.


This may be a snapping turtle swimming in the lake. It looks kind of big.


We found a Red-spotted Purple Butterfly sitting on the fire road near the lake.


The Double-crested Cormorant can be seen on our lake.


Some of the birds seen along the fire road, the Indigo Bunting, American Goldfinch, I believe the bottom right is the Eastern Wood-PeWee



I had a problem with my latest blogger "theme" , it was not compatible with Mr Linky for my  Saturday's Critter party. So once again I had to change my theme. I am not sure if it will stay this way, maybe just until I find one I like better that will work for the linky. 




I appreciate and thank everyone who links up their post and for all the wonderful comments! I hope you enjoy my post and photos too!

Here is a list of my linky parties;
