My neighbors

I am linking up with Camera Critters and I'd-Rather-B-Birdin.

Time sure does fly, it is the Saturday before Christmas and I want to wish everyone a a very Merry Christmas.

I thought for this week's critters post besides my usual backyard birds I would show some of the local critters from around the neighborhood.

 A Pine Siskin and a couple of my Goldfinches.


Some Longhorn cattle


A nearby buffalo farm


Some cute hogs.


A chubby Mourning Dove


A White-Breasted Nuthatch

I have been enjoying a couple things. When family is around and before everyone is up, I go to watch the feeders and take a walk around neighborhood parks....which turn up the most fascinating birds:) And I don't have to go far to find them. A good way to start the morning:)
