Birds & Critters

For my Camera Critters I have some shots from my Wingscape Birdcam.

I like this capture of the cardinal in mid air it looks cool.

A late evening visitor, usually my Goldie Girl scares them away.  The flash made the raccoon's eyes look blue.

A squirrels reflection, not really... just looks like one.

My crest is prettier than yours!!!

This little piggie is eating all my bird seed.

Move over, I need a drink of water now!!
The male Redbellied woodpecker also stops in for a visit.

A large group of Goldfinches and a Mourning Dove.

Along with the male Redbellied Woodpecker above, this must be the female mate.
This Crow wanted a closeup shot taken. Say "AHHH"

 Don't rock the boat Feeder!

To see more cute and wonderful critters please visit Camera Critters.  Thanks to the host Misty Dawn for this fun weekly meme.  As always thank you for stopping by to see my birds and critters. I hope everyone has a safe and HAPPY weekend!  And  Happy Birding!!!

  2. I always enjoy your birdcam photos...you have the most interesting wildlife showing up! I love the cardinal in flight but all of them are great because they show nature in the moment! Thanks for providing the seed, the camera, and most of all, for sharing the photos! Have a wonderful day!

  4. I so enjoy seeing the variety of wildlife you capture on your cam.
    My hubby has an ongoing war with the squirrels. I love to watch them. So, sometimes I have a war with hubby!

  5. Such a neat idea -- a feeder cam!

    We had a group of raccoons one year that destroyed a couple of our bird feeders. Rascals!

  13. What a joy it must be for you to watch all these beautiful birds/critters visit your backyard. If I had this great set up, I think it would be hard for me to leave the window. I could watch birds/animals feed all day long! Love your cardinal images and all those glorious goldfinches. Fantastic series!

  17. Hey Eileen they do say "All the world's a stage", and I think your garden birds and animals took it to heart by posing along the handrail like that. I'd love to have Racoons in my back garden - honestly!

  18. Nightcam captured some great moments! Love the blue-eyed raccoon and the cardinal looks like a puppet in mid-air.
    What a great crow shot and the squirrel shot does look like a reflection.
    Really enjoyed your post Eileen!

  20. Absolutely wonderful shots Eileen - love cardinals and don't have them so liked seeing yours. Looks like you have a perfect spot there in Maryland. And the crow with the kernel of corn in its beak? Fabulous! Thanks for sharing!

  23. These are awesome! Love the raccoon shots and the crow one is pretty funny too.

  24. I got completely distracted when I came to comment. I looked over at the list of birding/nature blogs you're following and all I can say is "WOW!" You seem to have found at least one blog for each region in the US and beyond. How do you keep up with them all?

    By the way, these shots from your wingcam could be taken at our place. My favorites are the cardinal shots. This cam is the perfect way to capture fun shots of these jumpy birds.
