Hello,
I am sharing some more of our backyard blooms and birds. I am sad to say we lost our Weeping Cherry tree in our backyard. We have not removed it just yet, the birds love to sit in the tree waiting to take their turns at the feeders.
Above the Scarlet Tanagers were seen with a group of Waxwings by our mailbox. They were eating berries in one of the trees, a House Wren in the Weeping Cherry tree, A Catbird on the suet feeder and the Great-crested Flycatcher in the Weeping Cherry tree.
The Daylilies are starting to bloom next to our driveway and in the yard. These look like the same daylilies we see growing wild along the roads.
The Jackmanii Clematis has taken off, growing well also near the Blueberry bushes.
This Clematis has been blooming for awhile, one of my favorites.
This Spirea bush has grown large over the years, it is starting to mix with our blueberry bushes.
The Stella D'oro lilies are also blooming nicely.
For Tom's Barn Collective this is a local barn we pass by often. It seems like the owners have done a lot of work on it lately.
Happy 4th of July! Wishing everyone a safe and happy 4th of July.
Have you enjoyed the birds and blooms? I hope so! Thank you for visiting and for the nice comments. As always, thanks to the wonderful group of hosts listed below.
Here is a list of linky parties for part of the week, Sunday thru Wednesday. I hope to see you there.
Thanks to Jesh our host for Seasons

ReplyDeleteI'm grateful for bloggers for many reasons, but from ones like you, I've learned so much about species of birds. We have a feeder now and I really pay attention to the customers! Gone are the day when I just lumped them all into one category: "birds!" Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAnother great series of birds, blooms, and barns! :-) I love the Scarlet Tanager, and am really missing my clematis this year that died, yours is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a great 4th weekend - Isn't it crazy that it's July already??

Happy 4th July. Your garden blooms are beautiful. Love the Daylilies and clementis.
ReplyDeletethe flowers are just gorgesous. sorry to hear about the tree.. maybe you can keep it for the birds. our neighbor had a citrus tree that died and it was gorgeous as a piece of art, like a large driftwood art... it was there for many years and then thye took it down and i was so sad..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images you have given us.
ReplyDeletewe've been having a plethora of tit mouse at our feeder lately. Love to watch them swish around
ReplyDeleteGreat images from your backyard, Eileen!

ReplyDeleteHappy $th of July to you and your family Eileen!!

Such beautiful birds and blooms on your post today, Eileen! You are fortunate to be surrounded by such beauty in your own yard.

Hi Eileen,
ReplyDeletefirst congratulations to the Independence Day !
Marvelous photos of the wonderful flowers and all the birds around you.
Have a nice new week, Eileen.
Best regards, Synnöve
Happy 4th of July Eileen... Milkweed can take time to grow from seeds. The common milkweed seeds that I planted took two years to come up. Swamp or pink milkweed can be easier to grow from seed and butterfly weed is really hard to grow from seed. Most of the plants I plant that are natives and from seeds take at least two seasons to come up.... Lovely nature post as always Eileen...

ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms. The lilies are blooming here to now. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers and tyne birds, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteEileen, those birds are wonderful. Scarlet Tanagers and Cedar Waxwings are an amazing combination.
ReplyDeleteQuestion about the day lily: I always call them tiger lilies. Is that wrong?
~
Hello, they have various names. I did a google search, they are also called Tiger Lilies, Ditch Lilies or Roadside lilies. Thanks for the comment and visit. Happy 4th of July! Enjoy your day and the new week ahead!
DeleteLovely lilies and clematis; so pretty little birds, as well! A wonderful day and a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteVery nice ! I love the daylily !
ReplyDeleteAll your flowers are so beautiful and very colourful! What do you celebrate on the 4th of July? Anyway I wish you all a happy day on July 4!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds and flowers. They are all shinning in the summer.
I am joining Seasons through your post. I hope you have a happy day.
Hope you had a happy 4th of July, Eileen! Sorry, was today out of reach of the computer. Many thanks for for being a part of SEASONS! I didn't know a spirea bush could become that large (we once planted a little fledgling, but then moved to the STATES).
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, and "see" you very soon!
Sorry to hear that your Cherry tree has died. We don't have a darn tree in our yard! Sad, I know! Love the picture of the Scarlet Tanager--awesome! And I just assumed Carolina Wren, but no stripe... I am still learning! Catbirds left us--now I know where they went! Thanks for sharing your garden flowers--they are all quite beautiful! Hugs!
ReplyDeletehi eileen, so sorry to hear about your tree. did it go down in one of our recent storms??
ReplyDeletebeautiful birds and blooms, does Clematis come back each year?? i have an arbor in my backyard with climbing roses around it, that aren't doing well. i was thinking about taking those out and planting Clematis, it seems it would be easy to train it around the arbor. it seems to flower beautifully!!!
i would love to see a Scarlet Tanagers, i don't get them in my yard and i don't see them anywhere in the area!!!
You sure have an interesting range of backyard birds. It must be a real joy to look out and see what just arrived.
ReplyDeleteBoa tarde, conjunto de boa fotos, as da natureza são fantásticas.
ReplyDeleteResto de boa semana,
AG
Very beautiful birds and flowers reflecting true colours of nature.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms Eileen! Hope you had a wonderful holiday! Jealous on your Scarlet Tanager. For some reason, this bird does not want to pose for me:) Great birds for your backyard!
ReplyDeleteI love all three - the birds, the flowers and the barn.
ReplyDeleteNice selection.
Hope you had a Great 4th as well.
Have a Happy Week ahead!

ReplyDeletePreciosos pájaros y flores 🌺🌿🌸🍀🌼🌹💕🌹
Besos.
Stella D'oro lilies are my favorites and your clematis is gorgeous. This is a really nice barn. I love the round door on the side and all the windows trimmed in white. The door is really unusual. genie
ReplyDeleteHacer fotografias a las flores,es una gozada para los fotógrafos
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen, I too, like Spirea. We had it in our lake-front yard in TN. Beautiful pictures of the birds. Have a super day tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures of the trail. The birds are so cute!
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend!

Your spirea looks like one of mine...ever enlarging and needing a good trim soon! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, dear, it says you have turned off comments. But I'm going to try, anyway.
ReplyDeleteI envy you your beautiful birds, Eileen, but am sorry you lost your weeping cherry. I lost one tree last winter, and one of my bushes is close to gone, but I am not a gardener such as you.

Sinto muito pela cerejeira, mas as fotos, como sempre, estão belíssimas.
ReplyDeletea beautiful world indeed :)
ReplyDeleteDearest Eileen; How CUTE and LOVELY your birdsare♡♡♡ GORGEOUS Clematis and Lilies;I LOVE purple color (noble color in Japan) Clematis have. It must be wonderful if I could have a chance to walk in your yard♪
ReplyDeleteI DO hope your July 4th was a wonderful one with your family.
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Such lovely flowers in your garden!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that you lost your cherry tree Eileen...I am having to water two of my newer smaller trees...Lovely nature and happy weekend..Michelle
ReplyDeleteI would almost be tempted to leave that cherry tree for the birds, but I suppose it is dangerous. (I haven't gardened or done yard work for so many years now that I've forgotten everything.) Wonderful birds as always and the lilies are beautiful.
