Saturday's Critters #121
These are some of our local feeder birds on my deck and in the woods. All of these shots are taken thru my dining room window. LOL, it is my excuse for not having a clear and completely focused photo.
A male House Finch on my bird bath.
Up close, the Pine Warbler is a daily visitor and love the peanut suet balls.
The Field Sparrow is another daily visitor. I am also seeing more Chipping Sparrows now, they are a summer bird for me.
The Field Sparrow and a White-throated Sparrow eye to eye. I hope you enjoyed this collection of my yard birds. As always thanks for the visits and the nice comments. I also thank everyone who is linking up and sharing their critters.. Happy Saturday, have a great weekend!
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.

Cute sparrows. We hardly get to see them in Bangalore.
neat collection of little fellows.
Cute photos, the pine wrabler ist beautiful and I've never seen in real a white throated sparrow.
Your fauna seems so many richer.
Enjoy the bird songs
Sweetest little visitors! Have a great day!
sweet sparrows. :)
Your photos are excellent, Eileen! And the birds are all so beautiful.
For next winter, I will try to move our feeder nearer to a window, but finding a good, safe location takes a bit planning.
Thank you for hosting Saturday's Critters. Have a lovely weekend!
Fantastic post and gorgeous photos !!!
I love our international meetings on your blog, Eileen !!
Happy weekend :)
wonderful captures
love the little blushing house finch. :)
Thanks for hosting :)
Lovely shots Eileen - very nice!
Happy weekend

Love all the birds
Hello Eileen, I always enjoy your collection of yard birds. The White-throated Sparrow reminds me of our Cape Bunting. Thanks for sharing. Thank you too, for hosting this meme. I have a "cute" hairy critter to share among my other contributions. Have a great day. Jo
Hi Eileen,
Magnificent series of these beautiful birds.
I wish you a very nice weekend.
Best regards, Irma
Good morning Eileen! These are just wonderful photos and I can see each little bird's features and feathers so clearly!
Thanks for hosting this fun linkup!
Enjoy your weekend!
Hi Eileen,
marvelous close-ups of this colorful birds. Amazing !
Have a great weekend, Eileen.
Best regards, Synnöve
Good Morning Eileen.
You have some great pictures today. Who said sparrows are boring? They definitely aren't from your pictures. The male House Finch is just gorgeous and I didn't realise they had that patch of red at the base of their bill.
Have a lovely weekend.
Love the very first finch...the pose is darling.
Good Morning, Eileen. Beautiful variety of birds. Wishing you a very nice day.
What wonderful photos! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
Thanks for hosting this fun party!
Sweet photos of your visitors.
Have a wonderful weekend, Eileen
Uma foto mais linda que a outra! Sempre nos encantando aqui! bjs, chica e lindo fim de semana!
Lovely little birds Eileen. In my opinion even plain little Sparrows are a delight to look at. I've never seen a Pine Warbler before, a beautiful colour. I should get a bird feeder for our garden to attract birds for photos & to help the birdies finding food with winter coming our way.
And a big thank you for hosting Saturday's Critters, I always enjoy taking part in it.
They are lovely shots and it really does seem that each bird has it's own personality.
Love the Field Sparrow and a White-throated Sparrow together ...
Have a lovely weekend
All the best Jan
Hi Y'all!
Love your feeder birds.
Y'all come on by,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Lovely feathered friends.
Hello,
Beautiful cute little birds!
Happy Weekend!
If you didn't mention that these photos were taken from your dining room window, I wouldn't have known. They are very clear and the critters are so pretty and cute. Thank you, Eileen for hosting.
Good morning Eileen, you have some sweet local birds! I even featured a sweet bird I got to know real well. First bird I've ever known to tag along with us out in the real world and stay safely on his human daddy's shoulder! It was the coolest experience in the bird world that I've ever known. Critters are wonderful aren't they?!
All the better to view without them seeing you!
The Pine Warbler is a beautifully coloured.
Thanks for sharing and hosting.
Have a lovely weeek Eileen,
Ruby
Just gorgeous! I love the colour that is out there. We're still pretty drab, although the snow has, mostly, remelted!
i would not have guessed these were captured through glass, especially 1 & 2!!! great snaps, great views in your backyard!! have a wonderful weekend eileen, i hear it's snowing there??!!
Excelente trabalho e belas fotografias.
Um abraço e bom fim de semana.

I love your close ups . . . they are all so sweet
I like the markings on the Finch . . .
I always love your images of birds Eileen. The Pine Warbler with a droplet of water on its beak is stunning.
Thank you once again for hosting Saturday's Critters. I love reading the posts. Have a truly wonderful weekend :)
All your little moochers are so cute, Eileen.
;-)
I wish I could draw house finches and sparrows to my feeders. I wonder if it's the squirrels or the blue jays that keep them away.
Back yard critters are the best. We just put up our bird house. And a for rent sign!
Hi Eileen,
Happy Weekend to you!
Learned about two new birds from your post today - great!
Lovely photos of the birds. Particularly love the first photo.
Thanks for hosting SC.
Peace :)
i never get to see these sweet tiny birds. we don't have a feeder so i don't know if we have birds llike this or not here. i only see the big birds like ibis and hawks, buzzards and Cardinals and egret and heron. no song birds
Great bird photos! I really like the expression you captured on your first one.
Feathered friends are beautiful 'through your dining room window' ~ All wonderful photos!
Happy Weekend to you ~ ^_^
I know I have warblers around, but I've never seen any on the suet. Perhaps I need to hang more away from where the bigger birds congregate. Wonderful collection, Eileen! Happy Saturday!
Gorgeous visitors! Have a wonderful weekend, Eileen!
We have recently seen "male house finches" at our feeders and had no idea what they were! So sweet! I'm glad to know this now. I'd have never guessed you took your shots through a window! I tried to shoot (with a CAMERA! that is!) our pair of squirrels when they come for daily peanuts but all I get is streaks and blurs! Just NOT the photographer you are! (Which is why coming here is such a joy!)
Hi Eileen, Linking up a post from my archive for Saturday's Critters ... Thank you! Your bird photos today are excellent and I would not know they were taken through the window if you hadn't mentioned it. Have a happy weekend!
Love your critters too. Our feeders are overflowing with all sorts of birdies.

Absolutely gorgeous, Eileen!
Lovely birds.. Have a great weekend
I like all of them, and the first is funny feathers around the beak. Best regards and wish you a nice Sunday.
Lovely photos, specially the house finch...
I am really in awe of your feeder birds. This winter we had exactly two species (one of each)-- a Lincoln's and a Savannah Sparrow. They were bookends, respectively at the beginning and the end of the season but with nothing in between, most unusual.
Yes, sure did enjoy your backyard birds. : )
Love the inquisitive look on the first house sparrow. Happy Day
Thanks, Eileen, for adding your link to this wonderful birding day from your window at I'd Rather B Birdin'
Having no posts to share, alas, I thought to come here anyway,
for wishing you all my best for your weekend, my darling Eileen,
sending gentle, warm hugs to you
Dany
lovely birds and photos. I always find it difficult to shoot moving subjects. nicely done.
Eileen, great photos. Thanks for sharing.
Always a pleasure to come to your blog Eileen and see things of nature!Thanks for hosting and have a great weekend!
Also reminding you "Seasons" linkup is from Sun-Wed. Hope to see you there!
wonderful, thank you for this treat
You have very clean windows to get such great pics, Eileen!
Fabulous shots! I'd say your windows are a lot cleaner than mine....have a great weekend. Hope the weather improves.
Looks like home! Your pictures are great. Even through window. I'll see if I can link up once I get back on my computer. Have a good weekend
Nice shots! I have been trying to get a few through my window today!
Excellent close-up shots!
Cute and lovely birds...
Beautiful photos of birds. Each have their unique color...
Hi Eileen,
Well, I, for one, would not have guessed that these pics were taken from indoors; they're wonderful. But then again, the subject matter helps - such cuteness!
Have a lovely week ahead,
Poppy
Wonderful photos ! Thanks for sharing . Have a good day !
Lovely shots of these beautiful birds, Eileen.
Thanks for hosting, enjoy the week ahead!
Hello Eileen,
I think that these sparrows are so similar with ours...*-* I can easily recognise birds like them, (also, in genere, the pigeons and seagulls in nature, if I can say like this); but, what's for sure, it is that in here, we don/t have House Finch or Pine Warbler birds! So, lovely visitors in your yard! Many thanks for hosting and best regards in sunny April!
me again, Eileen.....I thought I was too late to join you this week but I'm not! Yeah. Thx for hosting.
Photos ary very great,hello Eileen.
Gosto muito;
Se pudesse gostarĂa de ter várias espĂ©cies no jardim;
Belas as imagens.
We're a little late to the party but thanks for the wonderful bird photos.

These tiny birds are so cute.
I think the first photo of the finch is stunning!!! Thanks for hosting Eileen.
You always have a lovely collection of birds! I'm looking forward to the return of our songbirds.
Dearest Eileen; Your House Finch & Pine Warbler are really adorable; I wish I had daily visitor p:-) And always LOVE to see the different sparrows from ours♡♡♡
Thank you very much for hosting. I'll try hard visiting as friends as I can tonight♪
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Lovely photos, Eileen!
Such a quite little birds!...
I am delighted with all images...
Great work, Eileen!... As usual... :-))
All the best!
Ana
Beautiful capture on your yard birds! Love the sparrows esp. the eye to eye one :)
Wonderful photos!
Through a window? Those are amazing!
I am really late and behind in everything. I really enjoyed seeing these birds!
Lovely bird pictures - very good focus. You must be very patient to get them all right ;) #SaturdaysCritters
Que fofuras de passarinhos!

You don't have anything to apologize about with these gorgeous photos. I really wish we had colorful birds like that where I live.
Such sweet yardbirds -- I don't have ANY birds in my yard, unless you count the occasional ibis or heron using the canal temporarily. (Actually that's really fun to see -- but it isn't a daily occurrence.)Oh yes and we do have mockingbirds and woodies occasionally in the front yard. But all my windows are in the back. (It wouldn't do any good to put out feeders, because there are no trees back there, no protection for the perchers).
