Saturday's Critters # 32

Saturday's Critters #32

Happy weekend and welcome to Saturday's Critters! Ok, it's time to share your critters. I am an animal lover, I always look forward to seeing everyone's cute critters..




 I am sharing some of my yardbirds from this week. The Scarlet Tanager is one bird I usually hear singing from the treetops. But on this day the tanager came down into my yard and was bouncing up and down catching some bugs around my weeping cherry tree. The Eastern Bluebird is keeping the tanager company.


 The Scarlet Tanager is a breeder in the woods next to our house.. It is still always a treat to see them out in the open..


Again the Eastern Bluebird and it is keeping company with what I believe is a Eastern Wood Pewee. I could hear the Pewee calling..



The Blue jays are regular visitors to our yard, they love the peanuts..I hope you enjoyed my birds and post this week.




 Thank you for linking up to the critter party. I appreciate the visits, comments and the support of my blogging friends.. Have a happy weekend!

  1. The Scarlet Tanager is gorgeous with his bright plumage. I especially enjoy seeing the Blue Jay, we don't have them here and I miss those peanut picking critters.

  39. Wow, such colourful beauties in your garden, and lovely photos.

    Eileen, I would love to join in
    your Saturday's Critters, but I hope you will understand if I don't, as these days I want to spend more time with my 80yr old husband, which means I have to visit less.

    Many thanks for your visit!:)

  45. Beautiful! So cool that the Tanager and Bluebird were close enough to be in the same photo!

  46. Your Easter Bluebird seems to make the rounds and has wide and varied taste. The Tanager is a magnificent bird and I love that his mate is yellow ... really? I have a Pewee and a Phoebe calling all of the time and on a rare occasion I see one of them and can't, for the life of me, tell which one it is. Wonderful post, Eileen.

  48. Hi Eileen! I always enjoy your photos! I've loved catching up on your blog seeing what I've missed this week--The fledgling Tufted Titmouse is a real cutie!! Our birds are starting to return now that I'm feeding them again. I stopped when the Phoebe's were raising their brood.
