Saturday's Critters #120

Saturday's Critters #120

Happy Saturday, it's time to share your critters and post. Any kind of critter will do, even a new or old post.. I appreciate everyone who is linking in with this week's critter party.

Happy April, I am looking forward to some warm spring sunny days.  YAY!

I am sharing some of  my backyard birds. This feeder is right outside my dining room window. If I do not move, I will not spook the birds away.  I can sit in my dining room and take the birds photos as they land on the feeder. The easiest birding I have ever done, lol!


These photos were all taken on the same day in one hour.
Above are the Pine Warbler, White-breasted Nuthatch, female Red-bellied Woodpecker, Tufted Titmouse and a Downy Woodpecker.




The male Pine Warbler is one of my favorite back yard visitors. I hope you enjoyed this collection of photos and birds.

  19. Good Morning Eileen. Thanks for allowing me to join in your Saturday.

    I must say that is one inpressive hour of work. You had a lovely selection of birds and took some great pictures while relaxing too. The White-breasted Nuthatch is a real poser, looking into the camera like that.

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

    What fantastic bird shots. This is a wonderful time of year.

    Unfortunately, for us, many of the birds simply stop on their way to and fro.

    Y'all come on by,

  46. they are so cute and sweet, I love the yellow pine warbler. and the swinging birds in the video... they make me smile at how they just hang upside down with no effort.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Hello Eileen. Super selection in one hour. I also enjoy relaxed birding 'through the window'. Have a glorious weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Neat to have the birds right there for you to photograph. I saw a pileated woodpecker out the window yesterday. I grabbed my camera and went to a clear window, but it was gone! Happens too often for me. Couldn't take the photo from my study because it was through glass then screen of the porch. I hear them more than I see them in the woods.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Looks like you had lots of feathered visitors.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Hello Eileen,
    Though it is spring, birds keep coming to the feeders!
    As I already told you, I enjoy seeing those you get around your yard, they seem always much more beautiful than the ons around my garden, but guess it's because I am so used to seeing them! LOL!
    Keep well and enjoy the coming week

    ReplyDelete
  51. You have a divine yard of nature's beautiful gems and what fantastic photography!

    Happy Weekend to you ~ ^_^

  52. Love the birds in action in the video! Excellent captures and collage on birds, and it’s really wonderful to have variety of birds at a time.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Can I come and live in your house for awhile? Even for an hour? ;)))! Seriously, you are so lucky ...you see more birds from your window than I do when I really do go birding! So, a little envious, yes, but mostly grateful that you share these beauties. Thank you for that and as always for hosting.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Great captures, Eileen! I keep my windows clean just for this reason!
