Saturday's Critters #54

Happy weekend everyone, I hope your Christmas was wonderful ! Ok, it's time to share your critters.. Any kind of critter will do.. I appreciate everyone who has linked up in the past and for those who are linking in on this week's critter party. And of course I always appreciate my blogging friends stopping by just for a visit..

Also, I hope you can check out the post at Anni's I'd-Rather-B-Birdin.  You should also check out Misty Dawn's Camera Critters.

I am sharing a variety of birds seen at Chincoteague NWR at the beginning of December..



A Song Sparrow


A Pied-billed Grebe



A Brown Creeper blending in with the tree. Chincoteague NWR is one of my favorite places to visit. There are always some great birds to see there.


May your New Year be decorated with sweet memories, wonderful days and memorable nights. Have a great new year ahead.

Three very pretty birds Eileen. Thank you for hosting :) Happy New Year!

Took some good observation to see that little creeper, didn't it?! They sure do "blend" in.
And love the Grebe---though it looks like a bad hair day-ha ha!

I must visit that place. My brother in New Jersey taunts me to fly up there and drive down with him. I envy your Brown Creeper photo. The few I have taken were horrible! Best wishes and thank again for hosting this great site!

MadSnapper said...

Unknown said...

That brown creeper sure is blending into it's surroundings, he must have been hard to spot. Wishing you a very Happy New Year Eileen

Oh you caught the Creeper, hard to see one, but you did, well done.

I saw a brown creeper once, and didn't know what it was. Now, that I do, will I see one? Probably not. My luck.

Great photos as always Eileen

It's nice to have a blogging sister that knows her birds. It's always an education for me when I visit Eileen and I don't usually recognize birds you're sharing, but the song sparrow is one I do.
Have a good weekend!

Brian King said...

It's nice to have a place like that! Love the little grebe. I haven't seen as many of those this winter as I have in the past.

Dearest Eileen; Love the brave looking Song Sparrow and cute Pied-billed Grebe; most of all, when I saw your Brown Creeper blending in with the tree, I looked for its head and found :-) Wonderful photographs♡♡♡
Wishing you bright and healthy year end, my friend.
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*

That little creeper blends in so well Eileen.If we could do that it would make birding a whole lot easier.

Wow - I'm impressed that you could actually see the Brown Creeper in the wild - it is so very well hidden.

Hello Eileen,
Great birds you are showing us!
The Song sparrow is gorgeous, not sure we the species in France!

All three are great! But I love the brown creeper especially! I'll never forget the first time I saw one creeping up the bark of a tree trunk! They are amazing little birds! Hope your Christmas was very special!

Amazing how the creeper almost disappears on the tree bark.

Hi Eileen, Great photographs of the Creeper and that cute Pied Billed Grebe. I have recently been seeing the Pied Billed Grebes here but no Creepers. Have an excellent day!

EG CameraGirl said...

Wonderful shot of the Brown Creeper. They are hard to see and even harder to photograph!

This N That said...

I have no current critters to share...I don't know how to link old stuff :(..I always enjoy your birds..Hope you had a wonderful Christmas...

Jenn Jilks said...

I just didn't have any critter photos Saturday!!!

Black Jack's Carol said...

Pied-billed Grebes and Brown Creepers are two of my favourites. I haven't seen many of either, though we are occasionally lucky enough to catch a sight of one now and then. Thanks so much for this wonderful meme, Eileen. It is a treasure!

Hi Eileen -

Sweet birds, and the Brown Creeper (new to me) has some great camouflage! Great spotting on your part!
