Saturday's Critters #75

Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone!

It's Saturday and it's time to share your critters.. Any kind of critter will do, even a new or old post.. I appreciate everyone who has linked up in the past and for those who are linking in on this week's critter party. And of course I always appreciate my blogging friends stopping by just for a visit.

For my critter post I am sharing more from our visit to the North Point State Park in Maryland.

  50. The wood duck looks so funny and out of place popping up next to the Little Blue Heron, and so comical. I like the downy woodpecker against the sky, too.

  51. Very nice herons - but I do like the photo-boombing wood duck.
