Bald Eagle on the tower and I believe the other bird is a Black Vulture.

Great Blue Herons were seen up and down the river, great views from the river trail.


More Great Blue Herons, there is a heronry or rookery located in the trees across the river. 


Two Eagles and 5 Great Blue Herons, can your find them all?


Black Vultures hang by the parking lot, some were on top of the cars that were parked. 


I zoomed in on this white-tailed deer, it was on the island in the middle of the river.

Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!

Havre De Grace, Maryland


Hello and Happy Monday everyone!


This is the last Monday of January, did the month go by quickly for you?  I am just happier we are a little closer to Spring.  I am looking forward to seeing Spring flowers and feeling the warm sunshine and spending more time outdoors to get my vitamin D.  

Jan 21st, last weekend hubby and I enjoyed a day trip to the Susquehanna River, Conowingo Dam and Havre De Grace Maryland. We saw the Bald Eagles at the Dam and river and we took a walk on the waterfront boardwalk at Havre De Grace. So here are some of my photos from that day. 




Two adult Bald Eagles with one juvenile eagle.


This juvenile looks like he is starting to get his white head.


Conowingo Dam attract lots of gulls in the winter, sometimes a rare gull or sighting can happen.







The Lighthouse at Havre De Grace Maryland.



A flock of Canada Geese and it looks like one white Snow Goose mixed in.


Various ducks and Canada Geese at the waterfront in Havre De Grace.


More ducks, gulls and geese.


Just a reminder, don't forget to look for the Blue Moon, the second full moon of the month on January 31st. 



As always I thank you for stopping by and as always I appreciate your comments.

My list of memes for today, I hope to see you there. Thanks to both of the host below.

These are some photos from our latest walk on the Susquehanna River trail. I was hoping to see the Bald Eagles below the dam but the only way to get in was to take a shuttle. The parking lot was full and they let cars in when someone leaves. Hubby and I decided not to wait, neither of us likes crowds of people so we took a walk further downstream.

 On the way to the river and trail we came across this large flock of Common Grackles. They are on the fields on both sides of the road. Some took off and flew across in front of my car.









I believe these are the American Black Ducks.


Cedar Waxwings, view of the river, Bald Eagle, Mallard Duck and a view of the river and bridge.






We saw a small flock of Cedar Waxwings at the beginning of the trail.


I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.

For my critter post I am sharing mostly bird photos from our visit to the Susquehanna River and Conowingo Dam. This time of the year you can usually see  a hundred or more Bald Eagles. We went a little early and these are some of the birds and photos from our visit.
