1. The NCR rail trail, is popular for joggers, bike riders and people walking, lots of dog walkers.
Feb 26th, NCR trail with Miney
2. Miney wanted everyone that went by to stop and say hello. She is a friendly dog.
3. Off the NCR trail I noticed these two Canada Geese. One look like it was sick or dead, it's partner seemed to by hanging close by. I am wondering if the sick bird has the HPAI Avian flu. I was sad to hear they closed my favorite trail at the Susquehanna River, due to the large count of dead Vultures. The Avian flu is killing the vultures seen at the Conowingo Dam area.
4. On the way home from our walk on the NCR bike trail we stopped at the Prettyboy Reservoir's boat ramp. If we are lucky we usually see some ducks hanging out nearby. This day we saw a large flock of Common Mergansers and some Canada Geese.
5. A closer look at the Canada Geese.
6. Somewhat closer view of the Common Mergansers. The male has the white body and a green head. The female has a rufous colored head with greyish body.
7. Miney watching a jogger go by.
8. From March 2017, during our 6months living in Florida we visited the Circle B Preserve at least once a week. It is a great place to see the birds, just watch out for the gators. Below seen off the Circle B trail I could see the Great Blue Heron with one of their chicks.

Today is National Payday it Forward, spread the kindness!
On this last Saturday of March, I continue with a mish-mash of photos. I am sharing my yard birds, walks around the lake, on the fire roads and photos of our dog Miney.

1. Feb 21st, looking out my kitchen window I noticed this hawk sitting in a tree at the end of our driveway. Needless to say my yard birds all went into hiding. I am guessing that it is a Red-shouldered Hawk. But, the Red-tailed Hawk is another common raptor seen in my neighborhood.
2. The hawk seems to have something in it's sight line, staring intently.
3. Feb 23rd, we took Miney on a walk to the Prettyboy reservoir to see the Eagle's nest. We did not see the Eagles, I hope all is well with their nest. We did see lots of Canada Geese and some Common Mergansers.
4. Miney always enjoys her walks, on this day we had a short car ride around to another section of the reservoir.
5. Lots of Canada Geese on the lake and on the far shore I see at least one Common Merganser, usually there we see lots of the Mergansers in this area.
6. Feb 25th, I took Miney on a shorter walk. Just up and down the street. During my walks, I could hear the Hairy Woodpecker, American Robins and some crows.
7. A Facebook flashback from From 2015, 10 years ago. I would see many American Goldfinches in my yard and at the feeders. I am missing them now because I no longer put out bird seed in feeders. This is a male starting to get his summer colors and black forehead.
8. Flashback Feb 2017, two Barred Owls sitting in a palm tree at my favorite birding spot Circle B in Florida.
