It's the first Saturday in April and time is just flying by. I am still behind sharing photos, these are from our getaway to the Maryland shore back in Feb 8-10 2024. Now I am hoping to see our Spring-Summer birds return to my yard and neighborhood.

1. Mosaic is mainly showing the Tundra Swans, a native swan in Maryland. They are seen in the winter months. 

2. In the photo below, there the Tundra Swans, Canada Geese, a few Northern Pintails and a few other ducks across the pond.

3.  The wildlife refuge has always some Bald Eagles, either flying around or perched in a tree.

4.  A male and female Northern Shoveler. 

5. Below are a group of Northern Pintails. 

6. The Tundra Swan flock was flying in to land on the pond. 

7. We saw a few Great Blue Herons around the wildlife drive and refuge. 

8. Leaving Bombay Hook NWR we drove past a field with a huge group of Snow Geese.  I was able pull over on the side of the road to take a few photos.  

9. A closer look at the Snow Geese in the field. 

10. Another puzzle finished, one of my favorites with the polar bear and northern lights. 

Extra photo: Easter with the grandson and family.

This is a mish-mash of critters and birds seen during our walks in my backyard, on the local fire roads and on the NCR bike trail. 

Outside my front window, the Cardinal and Carolina Wren are taking turns checking out their window reflections. 

The Carolina Wren must have thought the Cardinal was silly for banging on the window. 

The male Cardinal was watching me inside the house. 

I always like checking out the Friendly Farms ponds, on this day we saw a lot of Canada Geese, a pair of Redhead Ducks, Buffleheads, Ring-necked Ducks and possibly Gadwall. 

I believe the Gadwall is almost in the center of the photo below. I see the black tail and the rusty edge on the side feathers.

Back in our yard, I was watching two Pileated Woodpeckers flying from tree to tree, pecking away. 

The Blue Jays are daily visitors to my yard, they arrive on my deck railing squawking loudly and spooking away all the little birds.  

March 3rd, our walk was  on the NCR trail, a beautiful Spring like day and a pretty blue sky.

We met a man walking his two friendly Doodle dogs, the dogs know us now we met them on the trail on a previous walk. The Blue Birds were talking away in a tree top. 

"The Bluebird carries the sky on his back."

Not a critter but this is one of my latest puzzle finished. There are a few gulls flying in this canal city scene.
