| This juvenile Great Horned Owl was hatched this winter in the nest at the Celery Bog. We saw it Tuesday morning. We always enjoy a visit to the Celery Bog when we visit here. |
 |
| A flock of around 50 white pelicans arrived at the Celery Bog a few weeks ago on their migration route — a first time for visiting in such numbers. |

| I usually neglect robins. Maybe a mistake. |

| …. and starlings? Worthy of a look? |
 |
| I’m quite fond of red-winged blackbirds and their songs. |

I've been to West Lafayette a bunch, but never had a chance to explore the surrounding countryside. The Celery Bog looks like a fun place to visit. Such great photos -- thanks.
Wow what a great place. I would love to go there. Have a nice day.
Hello Mae,
The Celery Bog looks like my kind of place to visit. Great bird sightings. I love the cute juvenile Owl. The White Pelicans are a favorite, pretty captures of the GB Heron, Cormorants, Robin and Red-winged Blackbird. Take care, enjoy your day!
That Horned Owl pic is wonderful. We saw a nest of them once a few years back ... and we watched them for hours!
That owl is beautiful. I was listening to a podcast yesterday and the topic made me think of you. It dealt with members of Congress and whether they should be allowed to trade on the stock market. The one area of concern was trades made February 2020 in Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson and Johnson and PPE suppliers by members of Congress on the health Council. Very contentious indeed.
What an interesting name. I was expecting a lot of celery, not a lot of birds. Really lovely photos of various birds. I LOVED the photos of the pelicans.
Fabulous photos, Mae. Loved the pelican in flight and what a fabulous owl. Looks like a perfect site for spotting!
Hello Mae,
Wonderful outing and I love all the birds. The White Pelicans and the cute owlet are some of my favorites. I do love the Red-winged Blackbird songs.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Hello Mae, :=) I also was expecting to read an article about celery, and was pleasantly surprised to see such fabulous captures of birds, The juvenile Great Horned Owl is cute. I have been watching photos of them on Davids blog. I love the Pelican in flight shot and all the pelicans. I'm so glad you included the American Robin in your selection, it is a lovely bird, they all are!:=)
All the best and Happy Easter.
That young owl is just gorgeous! How thrilling it is to see nature renew itself! WOW!
Gorgeous photo of the owl!
It's a beautiful place to watch birds!
A Great Horned Owl and a White Pelican would put a smile on my face for the rest of the week!
Great photos! This looks like a good place for bird-watching.
