Saturday's Critters # 432

 Welcome to Saturday's Critters!

Our weather has been all over the place, the temperatures can drastically change. It is officially Spring, even though it does not always feel like it. 

1.  On March 8th  our high temperature for the day was in the 70's, the bull frog sounds were all over our yard and at the neighbors. We found at least 6 of these frogs in our little pond. The next day our temperature was back down to a high in 40's. 




2. March 8th photos continue, more frogs and their eggs. 





3. March 8th, after walking around the yard we took the grand-dogs for a 2 mile round trip walk on the fire road. 





4. While walking on the fire-road I could hear the Pine Warblers calling. It is nice to hear them again, in my yard I also heard my first of the season Eastern Phoebe. 

 




5.  March 9th our temperatures dropped and we had some snow. I am not sure what happened to the frogs and their eggs in our pond. Can they handle freezing temperatures. I hope they survived. I happened to notice this Hawk sitting in a tree between our yard and the neighbors yard. I wonder if the hawk was eating frogs.





6. Below the photos show the same hawk possibly the Red-shouldered Hawk from March 9th and on March 11th I saw the Hermit Thrush out my front window. It likes sitting in one of our Rhododendron bushes next to the house. 




7. March 11th, a closer look at the Hermit Thrush outside my window.

Saturday's Critters # 431

Hello and happy Saturday!

These images are from our local walks with the grand-dogs, on the fire roads and to the lake. We did go on one walk without the dogs, to see the local Bald Eagle's Nest. It's just a short drive around to the other side of our lake to see the nest. Sorry doggies, they are not getting inside my car, they only take local walks on our fire roads.


1. Feb 22nd,  a large flock of Common Merganser were seen at our local lake.  Not sure if everyone will notice, but on the middle right side of the photo I captured a Belted Kingfisher sitting in a tree. There is a Merganser in the water right underneath of the Kingfisher. 




2. My camera's zoom is not that good, a fuzzy look at the Mergansers.  There are three males ( white with green heads)  and three female Common Mergansers. 





3.  On Feb 24th  at the local Friendly Farms pond, we saw lots of Canada Geese and Ring-necked ducks. 





4. These photos were from my cell phone, no zoom but an overview of the pond , geese and ducks. 






5. On March 1st we took the grand-dogs to another one of our local fire roads. This was a 2 mile walk. 






6.  On 3-2-22 we left the dogs at home and drove around the lake to see how the Bald Eagles nest is doing. Below are Trumpeter Swans, Common Mergansers, Bald Eagles, Ring-necked Ducks and a Canvasback Duck and Canada Geese at Friendly Farms pond.





7.  On 3-2-22, at first I thought these swans were the Tundra Swans.  I posted them on the Maryland's bird page and was told they are the Trumpeter Swans.  Not a lifer for me, a first time sighting of these swans at our local lake. 





8. Below are the Barred Owl, hubby , Winnie and Nibbles going for a walk and some views of the fire roads. This was a 1.3 round trip walk. 




9.   On 3-3-22 a zoomed photo of the Barred Owl. We saw this owl on the walk back to the house.
