I am sharing recent back yard birds and critters and some critters seen in various national parks are from my archives.

1. The Eastern Blue Bird has always been a favorite of mine, I love to see them visiting my yard.  It would be great to see them using my birdhouses for their nest. 

2. Below are two frequent visitors, the White-throated Sparrow and a Gray Squirrel. 

3. Blue Jays are another common bird visiting my yard, sorry about the photo quality, it was taken through a kitchen window. 

4. From my archives I am sharing some critters from our visits to various national parks. Below are some Elk seen in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. 

5. Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons are two of my favorite parks.  There were always critters to be seen. Below is a bull moose, seen off the Heron Pond and Swan Lake loop. The moose below was wearing a tracking collar, there was also a female moose and an elk standing nearby. 

The Buffalo at Yellowstone were plentiful.  It was nice to see the cute calves.  

We watched this Grizzly Bear not far from the Jackson Lake Lodge in the Grand Tetons National Park. 

6. Seen in the Rocky Mountain National Park we watched a mama moose with a calf.  

7. Everglades National Park, a great park to see critters and lots of birds.  

Near the Flamingo marina, Everglades National Park we saw the Crocodile. It is the only place were the Crocodiles and Alligators coexist. The American Crocodile has a v-shaped snout and the Alligators seen in the photo above have a u-shaped snout.  

The Manatees were also seen at the Everglades National Park Flamingo marina area.  

8. Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive.  It was always a treat to see a Black Bear during our visits to Shenandoah National Park. The mosaic below and next few photos are all from Shenandoah National Park.

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.  

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.
