Happy weekend and welcome to Saturday's Critters! I am sharing some of the birds and critter seen during our Colorado vacation..

ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the Jay. I've never seen a bird like that before. I love how bright it's color is. Very pretty.
I love the moose! We had them in our backyard when I was little, but now I rarely see them. Have a great weekend, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteNice captures, Eileen. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove the Jay's blue outfit:)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of critters :)
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Pretty Jay and cute marmot!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures Eileen. When we lived on the other side of the state we had lots of Steller's Jays but none here and I miss them. We do have moose but I don't see them as often as I did in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
What an original and beautiful bird and wonderful family of the elk !
ReplyDeleteEileen, have a great weekend :)
A beautiful line up, the Marmot is my fave, cheers Eileen.
ReplyDeleteThe Jay is so pretty. Lovely to see a Moose and baby too. Have a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteLove that Stellar Jay shot!
ReplyDeleteDo Jays eat mushrooms?
ReplyDeleteA silly question.
Love that jay! :)
ReplyDeleteComo sempre ,lindos!!!Adorei! Ótimo fim de semana,bjs, chica
ReplyDeleteFantastic critters, Eileen! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteexcellent series. The marmot is cute.
ReplyDeleteCool shots, Eileen, Stellar's Jays come to my house, they are rather heavy for my suet feeder, but like sunflower seeds on the railing. How exciting to photograph the moose with calf!
ReplyDeleteThree very cool captures Eileen. I remember seeing the Stellar'Jay from my trips out west, loved the moose and calf and hope to see a Marmot one day. Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful animal shots today- I like the marmot- he has the cutest face.
ReplyDeleteA lovely mix of wildlife and 3 species I've never seen in the wild.
ReplyDeleteHave a grand weekend Eileen.
Nice Steller's Jay! Had them at my feeder all the time in New Mexico, but now in Florida I must settle for their Blue Jay cousins. Since taking up photography I have yet to see another marmot despite trips to Colorado and Alaska. Great captures of the critters!
ReplyDeleteI like the crest on the Stellar's! Really nice shot of the marmot! I've never seen moose in the wild.
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but the Stellar's Jay is my favorite. Have a great weekend. Jo
ReplyDeleteLucky you to have seen and photographed a Stellar Jay!

ReplyDeleteGreat shots ! Don't you love seeing the moose.
ReplyDeleteThe Stellar Jays are pretty birds , we dont get them here as a matter of fact we don't even see blue jays much and miss there lovely blue color.
I have tried on several occasion to link up on Saturdays critters ... as I love it , but my system always comes up with errors more than not , some is probably my incompetence but some is my photos and page won't pick up at times ~ frustrates me : (
I'll tyy again though.
I love the paint job on the Jay... and that marmont is just to cute...
ReplyDeleteNice critters. Love the Jay!
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures you have taken.
Picture one is my favorite.
I wish you a very nice weekend.
The Jay has interesting colours. I bet he's just as noisy and bold as his Blue cousins!
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy your shots, Eileen! I get to see birds and animals that we don't get over here. Like the Jay. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet photos from your vacation. Thanks for hosting. Have a nice day.

P.S How do I add your Saturday Critters button to my blog so it works when clicked on? I'm having trouble with that.
ReplyDeleteWe loved seeing and photographing the stellar jays when we were out visiting Vancouver Island.

Dimi...
Nice collection of wildlife pictures.
ReplyDeleteLike the coloring of the Stellar's Jay.
Never saw a jay like that...thanks!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteThat's the beauty of the internet... I just saw great photos of three animals I've never seen in person before! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteEach one of these photos is spectacular to me. Stellar Jays may be common but I don't see them often and love them. We have some marmots on Vancouver Island but I've never seen one. Love the moose with her calf as well. Wonderful post, Eileen. Thanks as well for hosting!!
ReplyDeletewow, you got to see (& show us) all sorts of cuties. what a fun trip. i love the birdie best. that hair-do is too cool! ( :
ReplyDeleteThe Jay is wonderful and I like that Marmot a lot.
ReplyDeleteVery nice captures. We have plenty of Jay's around here ... they love dive bombing my little dog...
ReplyDeleteI wish I could capture critters like you do. Your posts always bring a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics, Eileen, of all the featured critters, but, alas, I am partial to that pretty jay!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!

Very nice. I love the Marmot !
ReplyDeleteStunning animals and photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Eileen! I hope to get similar shots when we're in CO and WY next week. Thanks for hosting! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt must have been amazing to see those wonderful animals right in front of you. The Jay is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, Eileen. I'd love to see a moose in the wild!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to see these critters. I would have loved seeing the moose. Marmots look a lot like Prairie Dogs.
ReplyDeleteThey are all great!
ReplyDeleteFabulous jay shot, and what a sweet marmot!
ReplyDeleteespecially love the jay
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteI could kiss that marmot on his sweet little nose--what a cutie!
I used to see these in our back yard in Colorado all the time....now, we don't have ANY blue jays of any kind this far south.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your link this weekend at I'd Rather B Birdin' -- made me feel like it was 'back home week'!!
That jay is very striking. And, I've never seen a marmot... so it was fun seeing them here.
ReplyDeleteHi,Eileen. Your photos are very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I am in the western part of the continent Steller's Jays are among my favourite birds. They have shared my picnic lunch on many an occasion.
ReplyDeleteHere I am, tail end Charlie! Like others before me I have not seen any of these critters, seeing a Moose in the wild is on my bucket list though :) I would love to see the other two as well!
ReplyDeleteWren x
Oh, look at that... such cute little marmot... lovely appearance!! A sunny week!
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous close-up of the Stellar jay, another bird I discover thanks to your post.
Mom and baby moose must have been another adrenaline shot for you!!
And the marmot with its white nose is a cute fellow quite similar to ours.
Keep well and enjoy your sunday!

ReplyDeleteWe don't have stellar jays in Ohio...only their cousins Blue. ha.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
Just love the moose, and that marmot is adorable!
