Some more of my yard birds, some winter birds still here as of 4/16/18 and first of the season Eastern Phoebe have arrived.

I am still seeing a lot of White-throated Sparrows around the yard, they have a pretty song.

Below are two photos of the Eastern Phoebe.

I've been seeing two bunnies in the yard, maybe some baby bunnies will arrive soon.

Happy Thankful Thursday!

Happy Thursday, everyone! I hope you all have a great day!

Recently hubby and I went on an overnight trip to Shenandoah National Park. We stayed at the Skyland Resort in a nice room with a balcony.

This is a view from one of the overlooks on the Skyline Drive. We started the drive at Front Royal and drove down the Skyline Drive to Skyland, Big Meadows and a little past Big Meadows.

We walked on the Big Meadows, a little windy but it was a warmer wind.

We spent the night at the Skyland lodge and hotel. Our room was on the second floor and we had a great view of the valley from our balcony.

There were Robins all over the place.

We saw lots of deer later in the evening and in the early morning

We did see a lot of wild turkeys along the drive and in the woods.

We took a walk the first day on the Limberlost Trail. Along the trail we heard and saw some Blue-headed Vireo's, Hermit Thrush and Juncos.

Till this trip we missed seeing the sunset/sunrises at Shenandoah NP. We went on many day trips and left way before sunset to drive home. Years ago we went on many camping trips to Shenandoah NP, my days of camping and sleeping on the ground are long gone.
