Saturday's Critters #171
Happy Saturday, it's time to share your critters and post. Any kind of critter will do, even a new or old post.. I appreciate everyone who is linking in with this week's critter party.
I accidentally deleted the first group of links this morning. Sorry, I did not remember all bloggers that have already linked.

I am sharing some birds and critters from the Circle B Reserve. Here is a pretty shot of the Great Blue Heron.
A juvenile Little Blue Heron
The White Peacock Butterfly.
Gator's face is covered with duck weed.
A Green Heron is one of the common herons at the Circle B, sometimes we saw as many as 4-5 Green Herons during our walk.
A family of raccoons walking down the trail.
My favorite Black-bellied Whistling Ducks.
A turtle line up.
As always thanks for the visits and the nice comments. I also thank everyone who is linking up and sharing their critters.. Happy Saturday, have a great weekend!

Interesting series of photos as always. I especially like the White Peacock Butterfly. Such unusual colours and patterns (at least compared to what I usually see here)
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen-
ReplyDeleteThe croc with the green snout sure gave me a chuckle. Great series for Saturday.
Thanks for hosting.
Have a Happy Weekend.
Peace :)

ReplyDeleteHello Eileen! Your photos are so good I almost feel as if I'm there too and enjoying the wildlife! Fantastic turtle line up and alligator!

ReplyDeleteWonderful and moving images! The turtles!
ReplyDelete...Eileen. what a great collection, I like the turtle line up the best.
ReplyDeleteGood series! Love the Herons and the Gator with face pack.
ReplyDeleteNice shot with the raccoons. I've been to circle B several times and not seen one. Of course I've had a family of sand hills walk right by me, close enough to reach out and touch them, so I'm not complaining.
ReplyDeleteLove all the critters...especially the raccoon family...something I've
ReplyDeletenever seen!!...:)JP
Spring is coming, soon. So good to see the colourful critters!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird photos, Eileen, and I always the odd furry ring-in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting.
You always manage to get the best photos, Eileen. I especially love the raccoon family and the alligator. That gator looks deceptively goofy covered in the duckweed. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Mr. Gator is hoping you don't SEE him with his duckweed camo.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures Eileen . . .
ReplyDeleteFlorida has treated you with quite an assortment . . .
From Herons, to alligators and raccoons . . .
Even a Peacock butterfly . . . thank you!
Love the croc and racoon family. Lovely photos as always.

WOW, fantastic post Eileen!
ReplyDeleteLovely creatures, the gator and Green heron are stunning pics!
I also love those raccoons strolling as if it was natural for them with humans around.... or maybe it is??!!! But I never saw them easily when I was in Florida!
Enjoy your weekend :)
Love all your critters, especially the butterfly!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous nature shots as always ~ delightful ~ thanks,

The raccoons are my favourite!

A fabulous series, Eileen! I do love your herons!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, the Herons are excellent. Happy weekend to you Eileen.
ReplyDeleteHei Eileen! Lovely pictures! And a happy weekend!
ReplyDeletewonderful photos, love them!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all these amazing critters! What a cool post. I WISH I could see a raccoon, or coyote or fox or something out here....we see the deer regularly, but not always in our yard. I'm dying to see some variety! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe gator looks like he's trying some new kind of facial treatment (and it isn't really helping ;>).... Still loving your Florida pictures of course. Hope you are having fairly decent weather now that you are home -- to ease the transition. Our resort/park is emptying out pretty quickly.
ReplyDeleteWow! Wonderful pictures, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours a lovely weekend!
Love those swamp turtles. They look as if they are totally enjoying the spring sunshine
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful critters. The alligator is scary looking!
ReplyDeleteOur raccoons are so furry compared to those guys - I guess to stay warm. Love the herons, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty birds, but stay away from that gator!
ReplyDeleteMagnificas e belas fotografias minha amiga.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

Hi Eileen, Another great Saturday’s Critters post! Your pictures are excellent! I love the butterfly and the gator. I have to wonder if the gator gives any thought to the duck weed? Thank you, as always, for sharing. Hope you have a fine weekend and a happy week ahead!

ReplyDeleteHi ...had some time this morning came to visit some of the links but i guess the whole linkup disappeared.....but it is a good reminder to thank you again for all the work you do and the time and money you spend keeping this sharing party going. I think we kind of tend to take all of what our hosts do for granted. And I realize it isn't that simple! Thank you for putting up with all the hassles so we can share!
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection of birds, butterfly, gators, turtles and racoons.
