Saturday's Critters #12

Saturday's Critters #12

These are some more of my yardbirds that showed up to be counted last weekend for my GBBC- the Great Backyard Bird Count. Lately our electric blinks or goes out for awhile so I created this post early. The weather forecasters are calling for rain and heavy winds on Friday..which could mean our electric goes out and stays out..I hope it doesn't but just in case I wanted to schedule this post for my critter party on Saturday.. If you do not see me commenting..you will know why..

Update..Looks like the storm passed by with no damage..I may still be away from the computer for awhile today..but I will catch up with comments and visits.

Blue Jay with a mouthful.



American Goldfinch..poor thing..looking up and is thinking snow again..REALLY.


Carolina Wren..I've been seeing two of these cuties hanging around my deck..I think they already claimed one of my birdhouses as their own..

Tufted Titmouse, they are having fun chasing each around the yard..


Song Sparrow stopped by for the count along with the White-throated Sparrows and some House Sparrows.

Thank you in advance for linking up  and joining in on Saturday's Critters.. I always appreciate the visit and comments..




To see more beautiful birds and cute critters

Also please visit:  I'd-Rather-B-Birdin. Thanks to the gracious host: Anni of I'd Rather-B-birdin. Also, sharing with Camera Critters. Thanks to Misty for hosting.

 Thanks for stopping by and  I wish everyone a happy weekend.

    Wow, so sweet all of them♡♡♡ I really smiled with the "American Goldfinch..poor thing". I love the blur back with cute cold looking face.

  23. Eileen, your garden birds are beautiful.......it must be difficult for many to find food in this weather.

    Have a lovely week - whatever the weather!

  25. The Carolina Wren is so sweet looking.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Those little wrens are so adorable...they squeeze into any feeder. I am anxious to see my bluebirds return to their favorite boxes!...:)JP

    ReplyDelete
  27. It's lovely to see a bird in your backyard that I've actually seen - a Song Sparrow. The Goldfinch does look a bit fed up!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I love the different birds - and I bet they are glad for the food you put out. We have a bit of snow today - but it will melt fast I'm sure -as it turns to rain later.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Love all your yard birds. Wish I could get more of them here. I will see more birds when spring comes.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hello Eileen,

    Good luck!

    Take care Eileen, stay safe and warm there.

  35. HI Eileen Marvellous selection today. I have just arrive on i.o.w. Thanks for hosting.

    ReplyDelete
  36. You've inspired me to try one more time with the bird feeder. I put it on the porch this time..maybe I can fool those mean old cowbirds.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Rain and heavy winds are what we had here last week. I'm glad the storm passed by you with no damage.

    I love all of your little yard birds especially that cute little Tufted Titmouse.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hi Eileen, What beautiful bird photos. Hope you are enjoying the weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Hi Eileen
    We've been out all day so I'm late visiting. You've captured some good photos of birds eating or just posing for you. The jay with the peanut looks pretty happy.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I love the big eyes of the titmouse, but the big mouth of the jay is almost as interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  41. This is making me miss my Blue Jays. I haven't seen them for awhile. We've had many blackbirds lately.

    ReplyDelete
  42. For some reason known only to our internet connection, I'm having problems posting a comment on your blog ...I hope this comes through--Sorry if it's more than once...But I'm glad you made it through that strange weather on Friday, and I hope your sweet little birds did too!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. ...thanks for linking up at the Bird D'Pot this weekend.

    And, hope your storms stay away now, 'til next winter.

    ReplyDelete
  44. lovely photos as ever, glad you didn't suffer storm damage...

    ReplyDelete
  45. Nice feeder birds! I miss having a feeder here in south Florida but the Muscovy Ducks, pigeons and Monk Parakeets just take over and spill all the see within minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  46. It's a real shame about the continuing bad weather in your part of the world Eileen. I hope things improve for you soon and that you don't lose your electricity. Meanwhile you have those wonderful feeder birds to watch and i especially like your Song Sparrow picture. I'll bet not everyone gets Song Sparrows as a visitor.

    Thanks for hosting again, and have a good week ahead.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Thank Goodness for the chirpy song sparrow, hope he's announcing the power is back on!
    Have a great weekend
    Wren x

  48. We missed the bird count this year so I'm enjoying yours.

  49. Hi Eileen, Neat set of pictures. I saw a flock of Sparrows in my back yard area yesterday. Biggest group of Sparrows here yet. I will have to figure out which kind of Sparrow they were. Yes, I did take pictures. I also really like your Carolina Wren! Have an especially pleasant day today!

  50. Wspaniałe ptaki udało Ci się zobaczyć. Widok bielika i olbrzymiego stada gęsi jest świetny. Pozdrawiam.
    Wonderful birds you've seen. View tailed and huge flocks of geese is great. Yours.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Again very nice pictures and especially the Blue Jay :-) Also, your other birds I have watched with pleasure.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Maybe there will be a Carolina Wren family to watch and photograph. Hooray! Fingers crossed...

    ReplyDelete
  53. Great captures. I feel so bad for the birds with this never-ending winter.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I'm so glad you didn't loose power Eileen, my goodness it looks chilly there. I am sure all your birds are very appreciative of all your feeders.
