I have a mish-mash of photos and critters, sharing birds from my backyard and some from my archives. I am happy that I do not have to go further than my back yard to enjoy nature.  

1. The Peacock is a regular visitor to our yard especially on the milder weather days.  He landed on top of our car one day. 

Another day we came home from dialysis and he was on our deck railing. 

2. The Cardinal likes to sit in our blueberry bush, maybe protection from raptors or the mean Mockingbird. 

3. Some of my backyard birds on the feeders are the Carolina Chickadee and the American Goldfinch.

4. More of my backyard feeders birds, the Dark-eyed Junco, Downy Woodpecker, White-throated Sparrow and a Carolina Wren. 

Below are various Nuthatches, three are seen either in my backyard or in Southern Maryland and one was seen in Colorado in the Rocky Mountain NP. 

First is the Brown-headed Nuthatch seen in the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge in Cambridge Maryland. I have seen this bird more along the coastal areas of the Mid-Atlantic states. 

I am linking up to Heidrun's Mosaic Monday   I hope you can stop by and visit Heidrun and check out the Mosaic Monday post.

The first couple of weeks of May is an awesome time to visit the Delaware beaches to see the shorebirds migrating and the horseshoe crabs laying their eggs.

These photos all taken 5-15-2015, hubby and I visited various birding hot spots to see the migrating shorebirds.  The hot spots we visited just this one day were Slaughter beach, Mispillion Harbor and the Dupont Nature Center, Port Mahon Road and Bombay Hook NWR.

Below a Ring-billed Gull, Laughing Gull, Dunlins and the Red Knot. 

This Spring I am hoping to get to visit the Delaware beaches during the migration of the shorebirds.

I am wondering what everyone is watching lately? I am into the Virgin River series on Netflix and Young Sherlock and Scarpetta on Prime. My latest reading list has been Harlen Coben's " I will find you", Shari Lapena's "Everyone here is lying" and the latest in the series from LJ Ross's called "Berwick". They are either are from the Libby website borrowed from my local libraries or from Kindle Ebooks.
