Wishing everyone a happy month of May. Tomorrow is our 35th anniversary. Usually we try to take a trip close to or on our anniversary but this year we will be staying home. I am seeing and hearing some of our Spring birds returning like the Eastern Phoebe and the Pine Warbler has been very vocal lately.

1. March 14, my first critter on this post, is Miney on one of our walks on the local fire road.  I hope you all are not tired of seeing Miney, she is a sweet and cute dog. 





2. March 16th on our walks with Miney, I am also looking for birds. At this time I was hearing more than I could see and photograph.  The Woodpeckers, Titmouse, Chickadees, Cardinals and Crows were the most common birds I heard along the trail.





3. March 18th, walking Miney on the NCR trail in Parkton Md. There are 3 bridges we cross and in the water below I noticed these large fish, some were in orange and some looked black or brown? I am not sure but we were told they were some kind of trout?  Fishing is allowed in this spot, in some areas any fish caught has to be put back in the water. 





4. March 18th, orange fish and some are black or brown colored fish. 






5. March 19, these are the birds I  saw at the Hashawha Nature Park: Eastern Bluebird, Mourning Dove, Song Sparrows, Cardinal, Mockingbird, Miney and the Slider Turtles. 







6. March 19th a Song Sparrow high in a tree next to the trail. On this photo you can see the obvious breast spot. 





7. March 19th, our walk with Miney was at the Hashawha Nature Park. 



March 19th, back at home we are seeing the Peacock on the warmer days. I am not sure if  Mr Peacock and our dog Miney will be friends.  





8. Flashback to May 2019, a few of my backyard feeder birds. I saw a great variety of birds when I had my bird feeders up. In the mosaics below are the Pine Warbler and the Pine Siskins in the first image. The second mosaic are two Rose-breasted Grosbeaks.

1. March 10th, I was happy to see a pair of Eastern Bluebirds visiting my bird houses.  I hope to see them raising their young this season. 





2. March 11th, my morning walk with Miney on the fire road. The trail is closest to my house and there are views of the reservoir.  





3. March 11th, I am still seeing the pair of Eastern Bluebirds coming and going to the birdhouses.


"Your bluebird of happiness is waiting for you."






4. March 12, I am sharing my yard birds , I had a nice variety of birds like the Northern Cardinal, the Mockingbird, a Pine Warbler , the Bluebird and the Titmouse.





5. March 12th, it was a warm day in the low 70's. I was happy to see the Peacock visiting, he hasn't been seen since last fall. We were getting ready to leave to meet hubby's cousin for lunch when the Peacock started his dance in front of the car. 





6. March 12th, the Red-bellied Woodpecker was able to eat some of the suet nuggets. Usually the woodpeckers are chased away by the Mockingbird.





7. March 12th, I was surprised this photo turned out ok, I wanted to get the cardinal perched but he flew off when I captured him in flight.





8. April 25th Arbor Day

Celebrate Arbor Day, plant a tree.


"He who plants a tree plants hope."






A flashback from my facebook page, from March 2016. A favorite bird is the Red-headed Woodpecker seen at the North Point State Park. I have not seen these birds since this time, they have safely moved on I hope.




A Sept 2015 flashback from the North Point SP, we saw a few Tricolored Herons, The park is more known for seeing the Little Blue Herons, it was a treat to see the Tricolored Herons.
