I am linking up Camera Critters and I'd-Rather-b-birdin I hope you will join in on the fun and share your critters and birds.

These are some of my yardbirds and one breeding bird seen during my local walk in the forest next to my house.
A White Breasted Nuthatch is one of my year round visitors.
Another shot of the White breasted Nuthatch at my suet feeder.
From my fireroad walk, not the best photo but it is the Worm-eating Warbler. This bird has olive-brown upperparts, light underparts and black and light brown stripes on its head. They can be found breeding on wooded slopes in a deciduous forest. I found this bird on a hilly trail heading down to our lake.
I see lots of these guys/girls in my yard. This squirrel is in heaven pigging out on my birdseed.
The Tufted Titmouse another year round visitor to my yard and feeders. They can be fun when the fledgling are around.
I do not mind these cute chipmunks visiting, they look adorable filling their cheeks with the bird seed.
This week I have some more of my favorite blogs to read and visit. Maybe you might know these bloggers already if not you may enjoy visiting their blogs too.
Debbie, a Jersey girl is so friendly and nice to visit with.... you can visit her here: It's All About Purple.
Diane, is an Aussie blogger. Lately, I have been enjoying her travels to the Australian rainforest. Visit with Diane at Adventure before Dementia
To see some AWESOME bird photography you can visit with Bob at Bird and nature in the Forest of Dean
You can see beautiful flora, cool iguanas and amazing photography if you visit with Maria at Caribbean Biodiversity
Another birder Frank @ the Early Birder from the UK, I enjoy reading his trip reports and seeing his UK birds.

all so sweet; nature's bounty is surely happening your place Eileen.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Eileen.
ReplyDeleteThis bird does not occur in the Netherlands.
The squirrel you also beautifully photographed, compliments.
Regards, Irma
Great post Eileen! I enjoy your backyard visitors and I am also enjoying the blog links. Thank you and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your Around The Yard visitors . . . Many of your visitors are familiar in our yard as well. Interesting observation though. Last year we were overrun with chipmunks. This year they must be visiting someplace else. Squirrels are fewer too. We changed some of our feeding patterns which may be part of the change. I love your exceptional close ups of the birds and wish I had that capability.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of this long holiday weekend.
It's great to see your backyard wildlife Eileen and many thanks for including me in the links.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a glorious wildlife weekend.
Your backyard is always filled with such wonderful visitors! That chipmunk is surely going to fill his cheeks to fullest! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteJust super shots of the nuthatch Eilleen, really showing off that slighly upturned bill. Have a great Saturday and an even better Sunday.
ReplyDeletethat chipmunk with full cheeks!! We had one get stuck in our bird feeder - couldn't get out because his cheeks were full - had to scare him and he spit out the bird seed and was able to squeeze through the hole on the other side of the feeder!! Greed will get you into trouble!!
ReplyDeleteGreat bird shots too!
Reminds me of the Brothers house in Millington NJ, had all the same critters as well as a few Hummingbirds.
ReplyDeleteLove yer shots !!
Gorgeous captures all!
ReplyDeleteAdoro ver essas imagens de pássaros.
ReplyDeleteOs esquilos são muito espertos de ir comer o alimento dos pássaros.
°º✿✿ Bom fim de semana!!!
°º✿ Tudo de bom!!!!

I wish you and these birds a happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteHa-I laughed out loud when I saw the chipmunk photo--I don't think he could stuff even one more seed in those cheeks. What a cutie!
ReplyDeletejealous over nuthatch and chipmunk! neither one here. :( actually, i've seen a nuthatch just a few times over many years.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the wildlife around your yard!
ReplyDeleteok that cuuute lil chipmunk is adorable, but that's a really great shot of the 1st bird, very crisp & clear!
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend =)
Terrific shots! That chippy is just so darn cute!
ReplyDeleteCute photos! You have a nice line-up of visitors to your yard!!
ReplyDeleteHallo Eileen!!
ReplyDeleteWow!!!These are amazing pictures and wonderful captures!!Beautiful birds!!!And the squirrel looks so cuteThank you for showing us new blogs!!I love visiting Bobs blog!!!!He's a very best friend like you are to me!!!Have a lovely weekend!!
Dimi..
Eileen, your yard is alive with critters of all shapes, sizes and colors- adore them all- the lil' chipmunk made me smile ~:)
ReplyDeleteYou have some lovely birds Eileen and it's nice to see I am not the only one with squirrel... x
ReplyDeleteOh My... You wouldn't love Chipmunks if you grew flowers.. They dig up our bulbs --mostly Tulips--but most anything they can get. They tunnel through the beds... They are as bad or worse than the squirrels.... Oh Well... Tis nature!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your birdie photos... We have the nuthatches and Titmice all year round also.
Hugs,
Betsy
Oh the birds are wonderful - many of them we don't see out here in the west, and the chipmunk indeed is cute. Thanks for the links - lots of good reading and viewing there.
ReplyDeleteThese are great backyard photos. We have all of these critters in our back yard except for the warbler. We make up for that by having plenty of squirrels and chipmunks.
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a nuthatch upright before, they and the red-breasted visit my hanging peanut feeder.
Cute critters in your yard along with the birds.

Wonderful birds and critters! Have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI love the tufted bird and the chipmunk looks like a vacuum cleaner. Thanks for the plug for my blog and thank you for being a regular visitor since I know very little about birds. One day I might be able to photograph some reasonably well enough to share.
ReplyDeleteFun series with the squirrel and chipmunk. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to see a tufted titmouse! They look so cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat birds...of which we haven't had in OUR yard. And the chipmunk made me giggle Eileen!!
ReplyDeleteSweet images.
These are great! Love to look so close-up to nature. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteWonderful wildlife photos!
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day!

ReplyDeleteDanke für die schönen Bilder
LG vom katerchen zum Sonntag
LOVE 'em!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful photography of all the dear gems in nature ~ Love your photos and 'critters'!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting ~ ^_^
Piękne ptaki masz blisko swojego domu. Wiewiórka też była miłym gościem. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds you are close to your home. Squirrel was also a nice guy. Yours.
Beautiful Nuthatch shot and how can anyone resist that little Chipmunk? So sweet.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot of the Nuthatch! The chipmunk made me smile! Cute little thing!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a chipmunk since I was a teen--my cat came home carrying one by the scruff of the neck as it would a kitten! Love your critters. This past winter was my first at seeing a nuthatch in our yard, a red-breasted one.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many friends to keep you company, they sing too that's a bonus.
ReplyDeleteMerle..........
Love your shot of the tufted titmouse!
ReplyDeleteYour yard is a nature center itself! Have never heard of the worm-eating warbler. I love the quizzical look on the titmouse's face. He looks like he wonders what you're doing with that camera!
ReplyDeleteI love your yard birds! We don't have many here!
ReplyDeleteDearest Eilleen,
ReplyDeleteI truly loved to all the cute shots♡♡♡
Made me feel warm with your Beautiful pictures, my friend.
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
great portrait of the nuthatch. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Worm-eating Warbler has the most unattractive name and yet it's one of the most beautiful. Lovely shot.....such lovely walks you've been taking.
ReplyDeleteVery nice variety!
ReplyDeleteCaptivating photos! I love the mischief in that squirrel's eyes.
