I am linking up with NF Winged and Skywatch Friday
June 20, 2013
Wow, another week has rolled on by and the days seem to go by faster and faster. I am sharing some scenes from around the yard and one sunset view from our lake. I have both sky shots for Skywatch Friday and some photos of my yardbirds for NF Winged.

This was one of my early morning sunrises on the way to work. The fog was turning colors from the sunrise.

The Gray Catbird is one of my frequent visitors. It likes the meal worms, sunflowers seeds and I think it likes the grape jelly.

One of my favorite visitors is the Downy Woodpeckers. I have a couple that visit my suet feeders.

The Carolina Chickadees are always fun to watch, I believe their babies have fledged. And they are bouncing all around the yard.

I think this Goldfinch has misplaced its comb.

This moon shot was taken on June 14 at 7:14PM , it is called the Waxing Crescent.

The shot above was courtesy of my hubby, a view of our lake at sunset. Have you enjoyed my walk around the yard, the birds and sky? I hope to see you sharing your skies too.

Happy Skywatching to everyone!

Piękny wschód i zachód słońca nad jeziorem. Ptaszki też ślicznie i zbawnie wygląda szczygiel. Pozdrawiam.
Beautiful sunrise and sunset over the lake. Birds also looks pretty and zbawnie goldfinch. Yours.
Downy Woodpecker's touch of RED makes him the frontrunner as my favourite!! But the moon is awesome too!!
Hi Eillen I love your landscape shots. As I am not familiar with your Goldfinch but I wondered if this one is a young one as they have little tufts of feather sticking up when they leave the nest? Margaret
Had to smile. "The Goldfinch has misplaced its comb."
Delighful photos, and I love the moon.
Have a nice day.

I certainly enjoyed your birds Eileen...I think my favourite might be the Carolina Chicadee
that makes me smile the finch with the silly feather. so funny. i wonder if she noticed? she needs a mirror. giggles. ( :
Love the little misplaced feather on the Goldfinch! Great photo of an Indigo Bunting in your blog header photo also!
Beautiful. Each bird is cuter than the other.
Always love your close ups of your birds!! Lovely skys - sun rise and sun set!! Amazing shot of the moon!
Marvelous photos of the yard. I love your Sunset photos. So pretty !

That moon is amazing.
We got out on the lake last night for a couple of hours before sundown to kayak for my birthday.. so peaceful, one of my favorite things to do.
Hilarious goldfinch hair!
i loved your yardbirds (jealous on the catbird!) but that sunrise and sunset... WOW!!!!!!

Hi Eileen!! Your bird shots are all terrific, particularly the Grey Catbird, it's a variety I've not seen before. The moon photo is just superb!!
Silly goldfinch!!! I love the moon shot!!! And what a gorgeous sunset!!!

Lovely lilac in that first shot! And such lovely details in the bird photos.
Super shots again Eileen. I love that "tufty" Downy Woodpecker and that Catbird is just so close but isn't bothered one jot. Enjoy the rest of the week until it's time to relax and bird again.
I love the one with the Goldfinch, you made me laugh.
Eileen, I love all of the images but that first one made me feel calmer & more relaxed just looking at it!
Lovely birds plus a super sunrise and sunset.
A great post for SWF!

Everything is absolutely lovely - I took the same shot of the moon. Love love love the birds too.
Great shots as always, Eileen. I especially like the woodpecker close up and the wonderful photo of the moon. Happy weekend to you.
Wonderful bird photos, but my favorite is the last one of the lake.

You're getting wonderful birds and moonscapes. Congrats!
Love the pastel colours in the sunrise. The shot of the moon is spectacular and the birds are cute as ever especially the one with the bad hair day.
Wonderful photos... I like the one your Hubby captured!
Wonderful series with lovely birds and great sky shots.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.
Dearest Eilleen,
Beautiful birds' pictures for us to enjoy and loved the way you said "misplaced its comb" p;)
For Waxing Crescent, we call "三日月, three day moon". Haha, I checked how it is written in Chinese character that way with pc.
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
lovely photos, I love the bird that's forgotten its comb, how ssweet!
Wonderful sky shots and great seeing your backyard birds too.
Gorgeous birds and sky! Love the gold finch hairdo :-)
Beautiful bird pictures!
Beautiful shots Eileen. The finch photo made me laugh so hard. Maybe this finch woke up on the wrong side of the bed hahahahaha!!

That little Goldfinch is just too cute with the stray feather, maybe it's a new style in the bird world. LOL!
