Saturday's Critters #223

Welcome to Saturday's Critters!


If you love all God's creatures like I do and also like to blog about them and take critter photos this is where you can share your critter post. Link up your post and share your critters, join in with my critter party ! You can share any kind of critters the real ones, pretend ones, statues and paintings, a new or old post!

I am sharing some backyard birds, the only critter I've seen lately in my backyard has been a bunny. The bunny is camera shy and runs off quickly.  My backyard birds are the Eastern Bluebird, House Finch and the Downy Woodpecker. These photos were taken on March 2nd.

  28. Oh I wish the Bluebirds would come to my feeders, tho I have some pretty possessive birds that scare others away from the PB Pie they love so dearly! It is quite a hit with lots of birds! Thanks for sharing! Hugs!

  30. How wonderful to see the bluebirds nesting. Some of ours like to nest in the cubbies below the mailboxes though. Happy weekend! Hugs, Diane

  31. I love them all. We had two female and one male finch yesterday. My photo was horrid, as I was about to do something, the sun was behind them...
    I'm happy to see yours!

    ReplyDelete
  32. no bunnies and no cute blue birds here, but we do have a very loud brown thrasher...

    ReplyDelete
  33. I love the Bluebirds. I have tried my hand at Bluebird nest boxes and then found out several years ago that living in the tightness of so many trees, they won't select them. They have to be on fence posts facing a certain direction and in the open. I do get to benefit from seeing them flitting to and fro the neighbors though. Thank you. I hope that you are doing well Eileen~

  34. Too cute popping out of the box. Happy Day.

  46. Hi Eileen, It’s just a little after 9 am here in Seattle and I see that you’ve already got 37 blogs linked up on today’s Saturday’s Critters. This is such a popular linkup thanks to your reliable efforts to get it started with some cool photos every Saturday morning. Re today’s photos of the Eastern Bluebird … Let me give you a short background on why I love these photos so much. Wife and I used to have a little summer get-away cabin in Montana. I became enchanted with the Mountain Bluebirds and built a nest box for them. On more than one summer I had the good fortune to get many photos of the birds building their nest and then seeing new members of the family take to flight. I will dig into the archive and post some of those photos one of these days and link up with you. Bluebirds may be my favorite. Thank you, as always, for sharing your blog and photos. Wishing you a fine and happy weekend! John

  52. Hi Eileen. I think your backyard birds are more than acceptable and in fact very pretty. So not apologise. Shame about your shy bunny.

    Have a great week ahead.

  62. I love the laugh of the kookaburra and the call of the magpie but little birds are by far better to look at all the other birds, I have a blue wren family come every spring and to watch them dart around in the trees is pure delight.
