HAPPY 4th of JULY critters

Happy 4th of July, I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July weekend.

I am linking of my post with Misty Dawn's  Camera Critters.

I have a few of my yardbirds, the cardinal and the goldfinch and some critters seen around my deck and neighborhood.

This pretty cardinal is showing off his patriotic red color for the 4th of July.


From my archives, because I needed to add the color blue for my July 4th post. These Bluejays would be happy to have a feast on my deck for the 4th of July. Just make sure there are some peanuts for them.



This American Goldfinch is showing off his pretty bright yellow color.




This cute chipper likes to join in on the July 4th feast too. They look adorable filling up their cheeks with the birdseed.



I like driving along the back country roads looking for birds that like to be in the fields and grasses. I am on a quest to add the Dickcissel to my life list.  The Dickcissel can be found on pastures, farm fields and on fences or utility wires.  I see these donkeys everytime we go for our favorite ice cream, they are just so cute. They seem different for some reason. I not sure what kind they are but they look adorable.



I think this cow is happy we like to eat ice cream.


My Goldie Girl got a hair cut for the summer, now she looks like a yellow lab instead of a golden retriever. They put red and blue bow on her ears, so Goldie Girl is ready to celebrate the 4th of July too.


I hope you enjoy my critters and to see more cute critters please visit Misty Dawn's Camera Critters. Thanks to Misty for hosting this fun meme and thanks for stopping by to see my post.  Be safe and have a great holiday weekend!

  1. Eileen - this post is a treat!! Love those great photos of the chippie and the birds, and your trip to get icecream... we usually only see one or two donkeys not a whole field of them. I love donkeys..

    But your first photo? the one with the butterfly? That's a stunner! Incredible photograph... Thanks for sharing and I hope you have the best fourth of July - we celebrated Canada Day yesterday - all red and white everywhere... there were parades etc and the kids had a ball.

    Hope you do too!

  2. Such nice pictures. I love the Chipmunks too. They leave me lots of little sunflower bouquets--where the seeds they hide sprout. I've had some lovely surprises from them.
    Enjoy the holiday!

  25. Hey..this is a nice variety. We saw donkeys with some sheep together over the weekend too. They looked like happy campers. I didn't have luck (missing good shots of an owl and egrets) with my cell!! It was slightly delayed and so was I? I dropped my camera last month so haven't picked up a new one. Anywhow, I enjoyed these-
