It's time to link up with my favorites memes Skywatch Friday and NF Winged
First my here are birds for NF Winged. I have a male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

The male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker has the red on the throat and the head.

and one of my regulars the White-Breasted Nuthatch. This is how I usually see the Nuthatch on my feeder. They love the peanut suet.
Between leaving for work early and having it get so dark early in the evening I have not had many chances to take sky shots. These are from last week. Below are two shots of the sunset, one from my back yard and the second is from near my mailbox on the street.

The sunset from the front of my house and street.
Above is a shot of the moon on Dec 3, it was early in the morning. I think it is a cool shot, the seeing the craters is neat.

Later the same day, I captured the moon during the daylight hours.

Love the sapsucker. Very nice sky shots and moon captures. Have a great rest of the week Eileen.
i like the shapes of the leafless trees in front of the sunset. Wow! The pics of the moon are brilliant. What settings did you use??
These photographs are so good! I felt good after looking at them! The birds are so pretty. I love looking on information about birds of other continents!
Thanks a lot for sharing them.Needless to say I will visit often.
Dearest Eileen,

beautiful sapsucker and always jealous of the nuthatches, too. :)
Great photos. The sunsets are stunning.
Those sky shots are marvelous. And your Moon shots are really, really, good. Sharp and clear.
All photos are gorgeous but the two with the moon are very special!!
I love them!
Great captures Eileen! The male Sapsucker has some beautiful colors! That is a cool sunset, especially with the black silhouetted barren trees!
Beautiful shots! My favorites are the sunset shots.
Awesome nature shots! I really love your moon photos as well. You captured lots of detail with the craters - so awesome!
Lovely shots! That peanut butter suet is awesome!!! So many birds are eating it right now in my yard. I've got to stock up on it:)
Great Sky-Watch post!
Looks like a spectacular sunset. Love the little nuthatch!
Beautiful birds and lovely skies! It doesn't get any better than that, Eileen! Thanks as always for sharing the beauty! Enjoy your weekend!
great moon shots. :) And the woodpecker. :)
Beautiful yard photos -- perfect moment for the sunset and your charming nuthatch and woody.
I missed birding and the moon shots are awesome!

I like the backyard sunset and that cute nuthatch!
such an exquisite view of the sky from your home Eileen!
All these photos are wonderful. I love the birds and the sky. Nice to know the names of our feathered buddies!
The ghostly tree!! Wow lovely!
Lovely bird shots and what a great sky you captured.
I do like the Moon shots - next clear night I'm going to see what I can do about getting some shots myself.
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Eileen, your moon shots are awesome. The craters are clearly seen!
Enjoying also your bird and sunset shots :)
Happy weekend and thanks for dropping by!

Lovely sunsets Eileen. Your picture of the woodpecker showed how well camouflaged it is against the tree trunk against passing hawks. By the way, I hold the bird left handed and take a picture right handed - funny but no one has asked that before. Have a great birding weekend, it's Friday morning here.
impressive shots! the craters on the moon look like 2 eyes of a skull.:p
Great series for Skywatch again, Eileen. The fourth photo is my favourite today.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.
I love the moon pictures
Nice shots of the birds and the moon. I especially like the daytime shot.
your moon shots are amazingly beautiful.
Very nice post Eileen!
I like to discover birds I don't have in my garden!
The sun set is gorgeous and what can I say about the moon... Stunningly sharp!
Cheers!
Perfect lunar shots.
Lovely series of shots! You do so well capturing the shot of moon.
HI Eileen... Wow that moon shot is a beauty...did you look for the meteor showers last night??!!
Lovely sunset..the Sapsucker I love, but we only have them in warmer months interesting birds they are!!
Have a great weekend!!
Grace
Wow--the sapsucker sure blends in with that tree...nature's protection! The other bird seems as if to suddenly take flight. Love the sunset shots, and boy, I LOVE seeing photos of the moon, or looking at it in person! It never gets old!
The sunset is quite dramatic. I like the mottled look of the sky.
You've got so great moon photos and very moody and dramatic skies!
It is beautiful in your neck of the woods. We've been having rain and overcast skies so no lovely sunset likes yours.
Great image series showing-
Wish you a good weekend :)

AWESOME cratered moon shot eileen! LOVE it!!
and the pose the nuthatch gave you is perfect!
aaaaaaaah...beautiful sunsets...a gorgeous end to another day!
OH, i forgot to mention in my last comment, COOL header!!
Great shots of the moon. Love all your photos.
You have an excellent camera to capture the moon so beautifully! Thanks for stopping by my blue skies.
Those are awesome shots of the moon!! You must have had a high-powered lens. I like your birds, too. The woodpecker sure is camouflaged well!
How gorgeous!
