Saturday's Critters #77
Happy weekend, everyone!
It's the first Saturday in June and the first day of the Summer Solstice is June 21st. It has felt chilly here and we had some rain over the past week. I am looking forward to warm summer days. Ok, it's time to share your critters. Any kind of critter will do, even a new or old post. 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.
For this week's critters I am sharing some of my yard birds and my grand puppy Nibbles. Soon we will be puppy sitting when my son takes a short trip to the beach, it will be like having a dog again. Some of these shots were taken back in May but I have not shared them until now.
My cute Ruby-throated Hummingbird, he is on guard watching his feeders.
A Gray Catbird has been seen around the yard.
The Indigo Bunting has been seen almost every day lately..
One of my all time favorites the Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
The House Wren is one of my loudest yard birds. It seems to be fussing at something all the time..
I've been hear and seeing the Great-crested Flycatcher around my yard too.
The view from my treadmill window..a bunny and a chipmunk.
Nibbles not quite 6 months old yet, she is a little on the wild side. I hope you enjoyed this collection of yard birds and Nibbles.
Thank you so much for visiting and commenting and for linking up to my critter party. Enjoy your weekend!Happy weekend, everyone!

Nice collection of birds, especially that little hummingbird.
I love the rose-breasted grosbeak ~ he's a beauty! Nibbles definitely looks like a hand full there... good luck!
Lots of critters in your yard. those tiny Wrens sure can be noisy. but I love 'em anyway. Nice dog---very energetic looking.

What a lovely dog!!!
I enjoyed every one of your yard birds. I too have many birds visiting my little garden and there's some very loud ones too but too bad I couldn't catch any photo of them yet! I like Nibbles, she is cute and looks very playful!
Lovely shot of Nibbles - she seems to be laughing
All great bird shots Eileen and I particulaly love the little Hummmingbird and you dog looks like full of fun.
lol, really fine images today. You seem to have catched their moods nicely. :)
Wonderful critters all of them! Nibbles is adorable. She looks very playful. Have a great weekend!
Eileen, all your critters are beautiful but this dog with a ball in his mouth looks so sweet !!
Wonderful pictures !!
Have a nice weekend :)
That is a busy back yard! Once again we had a hummingbird-less spring, though we did feed the bees. I think our subdivision is so lacking in cover and native plants that the little critters just pass us by.
Beautiful pictures Eileen, the hummingbird I find really great.
Have a very nice weekend.
Nibbles is adorable and I love the birds too. Thanks for signing me in Eileen, really appreciate that as I sometimes can't get on wifi and also don't have a lot of computer time at present. Thanks for hosting this lovely meme and have a great day :)
Good morning Eileen and thanks for the chance to link up with like minds. I'm sorry to hear that Nibbles is a little on the "wild side". I guess he'd say its youthful exuberance?
I really like those pictures of the summery grosbeak and the Great-crested Flycatcher.
Enjoy your weekend.
Great shots of wonderful critters Eileen :)
My favourites are the first and the last one :))
Have a fine day and a happy weekend!

PS: Somebody had a few shots too many yesterday ;)
The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is my favourite, beautiful bird.
Amazing how many yard birds you have! Oh, Nibbles looks like a ton of fun!!

WHATAGORGEOUSDOGWHATAGORGEOUSDOGWHATAGORGEOUSDOG - such an enviable array of birdies you have - WHATAGORGEOUSDOGWHATAGORGEOUSDOGWHATAGORGEOUSDOG - still a puppy, we forget how active they are - WHATAGORGEOUSDOGWHATGORGEOUSDOGWHATAGORGEOUSDOG.... a tad smitten this side. That is my kinda canine!!! Enjoy Nibbles - the beauty of 'granding' (or 'aunting') is the little tykes can be handed back and recovery can be made &*> YAM xx
Every week you amaze me with all your fabulous critters. Tom The Backroads Traveller
Todas lindas e adorei o cachorro com a bolinha! bjs, lindo fim de semana! chica
love the wren pose!!!
And Nibbles is a beautiful dog...wild side or not.
Pretty pictures. A couple new birds for me.
Grand Dogs (aka Lucy) sometimes end of sticking around. Nibbles is cute.
OH wow Eileen, the Rose-breasted Grosbeak. And the Great-crested Flycatcher and the noisy wrens are stunning. But like Yamini I want to cheer and applaud the beautiful and cute and gorgeous Nibbles. What a darling doggie she is. I love the idea of her ball being tied to her collar. Thanks for hosting this meme. I love collecting "critters" for it every week. Have a great weekend. Jo
i love the bunny, the puffy hummingbird & doggie. i bet that doggie has tons of energy ... looks like a pup who would. what fun!! enjoy your weekend. we have lots of fog this AM. it has been a very strange week. rainy and fog. i wonder where the sun is ... wonder if it still exists? miss it so. take care. ( :
Wonderful yard captures....just so pretty. And I have missed Nibbles for some reason...she is going to be a gorgeous dog!
Love your great crested fly catcher! Have never seen one of these before. It also looks as if your dog loves to play ball as much as mine does!
Hello, Eileen!
How do you manage to take so great bird photos every time?! They are so interesting, beautiful, cute...
The other critters are lovely too, especially Nibbles.
Have a great weekend!
Eileen, Nibbles is a beautiful dog for sure. Wonderful bird photos for a Saturday. Have a lovely weekend.
Nice series of Birds - love that Hummer. They won't get here til the end of July.
my favorite critter of all critters is the dog, so Nibbles wins first place today. 2nd place goes to the laughing flycatcher.. he is so cute. all the birds are so sweet
love that hummingbird! jealous over your indigo and grosbeak and catbird! :) nibbles is adorable!!!!
Hi Eileen,
fabulous photos of this colorful and wonderful birds.
Have a nice weekend too, Eileen.
Best regards, Synnöve
I enjoyed seeing your yard birds . . .
Indigo bunting visits must be a real treat . . .
Enjoy Nibbles . . . he looks full of mischief . . .
Hi Eileen,
Happy weekend!
The birds that visit your yard are quite the variety and very beautiful. Quite a bit different from what we see around Atlanta, possibly. Nibbles loves the Tennis ball, I see. Many dogs do and never tire, but our arms do ;)
Very nice photos!
Thank you for hosting.
Have a Wonderful Weekend!
Peace :)
These are lovely shots of the birds, Eileen. Nibbles is adorable...looks full of fun!
Hi Eileen,
You've captured some adorable birds, as usual. My favourite among the lot, the rose-breasted grosbeak, is not only beautiful, but full of drama! Thanks for sharing!
Hope you have a warm and sunny weekend! It's been rather cool, here in Toronto, too!
Poppy
The photo of the bunny & chipmunk looks like a scene from a Disney movie! And Nibbles is TOO cute with his ball! :-) Love all the great bird shots too. Hope your weather warms up! We had triple digits for about four days then it cooled off some and we had a little rain. The sun is shining again, so I bet it's going to be a hot one today! Have a great weekend!
Open wide. The house wren shot is awesome!
Good Morning Eileen!
The Indigo Bunting is my favorite!! While at the Butterfly House in Key West, they had a sign that said they had Indigo Buntings. I looked and looked, but never saw it or them!!! I've only seen pictures of them!! LOVE that color of blue!! You've got your job cut out for you with Nibbles!! She looks like she will keep you on the run!
Nibbles is just the cutest! Let's play ball his surely a favorite game around there too! How fun to have pups to care for and then return back to mama and papa! I hope you share lots of puppy pictures. I like all your interesting bird shots, and bunny too, each one happy doing their own thing in life!
All beautiful birds, Eileen. I find it hard to get good photos of hummingbirds, as they move so fast! Indigo buntings are such a beautiful blue color. Nibbles looks very energetic and ready to play--a very happy puppy!
You've captured that wren perfectly, Eileen! My won't you have fun when Nibbles comes to visit, LOL - have a great week - summer is here!
hey eileen i just adore your bird photos!
excellently done:))
no need to leave home in order to see some amazing birds!!! and get some beautiful images!!
nibbles is adorable and i LOVE the new header!!!!
I like the birds but Nibbles is my favorite!
Nibbles is very cute. Theda was a handful when she was a youngster fresh from the pet shelter.
You have a great set of birdie pictures, that feisty hummingbird is fantastic!

Good variety you have. Great to see them all.
You really have a variety of birds. I have only seen the Indigo Bunting once and it was so gorgeous. Nibbles is cute...not sure I could handle a puppy any longer!
Many people try their hand at photographing birds, but yours are consistently a feast for the eyes. Your backdrops of foliage have an ethereal quality that no one else can capture. The colors, the lighting! And always, a sweet little critter perched amidst who just warms your heart because of its beauty and carefree enjoyment of life! SO well done!
And speaking of "carefree enjoyment"....well, that Nibbles looks like he invented it! Some grumpy people could learn a thing or two from him!
Enjoyed your visit to I'd Rather B Birdin' today Eileen.
Hope you're having a peaceful weekend.
Thanks for linking up with your super birds this week.
I like the indigo bunting, how nice it would be to see one out my window.
Have a good weekend Eileen.
Nibbles is a great name....you have so many cute critters to see in and around you. What a joy!
Very nice series ! I love the Hummingbird !
What a beautiful assortment of yard birds and critters; I swear you live in Paradise! That wren does look like he's giving somebody what-for! The grosbeak is stunning! I'd love to see one (we have yellow ones in Oregon only as far as I know).
Nibbles is so cute -- have fun puppy-sitting!
Hi Elieen, love your great pics and Nibbles is beautiful!! I'll try and remember your link up in the future. Thank for your comment about it.
Hugs for a great weekend! CM
What wonderful shots of the birds. Hard to get a hummingbird sitting still.
I enjoyed all of your shots!
We don't live that far away , yet you have a lot of birds that I never see..Wonderful collection..Love the Hummer..Mine is always on the wrong side of the feeder..
Wonderful photos Eileen . Nibbles that is a cute name for a cute pup ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good weekend !
Hi Eileen, I enjoyed seeing Nibbles and your yard birds. Surprisingly, I have seen all of the same yard birds except the flycatcher in my yard - but the grosbeak and indigo bunting only once or twice. Is your hummer a female? The ones I see in my yard actually do have a large bright red throat. I enjoyed your post very much, Eileen. And you are really fortunate to have an indigo bunting visiting daily! So beautiful! :)
Fun shots! Seems like a lot of your critters have their mouths open!
Some beautiful birds, I have not seen a lot of them here. Pooches are such fun but you need a lot of energy when they are pups.
Diana
Just love the Hummingbird!!
Eileen,lucky to be attracting such beauties to your critter parties. All the pictures are really eye catching as they make the birds look so regal and individualistic.
Excellent photos! The humming bird is adorable and the indigo bunting is such an amazing colour
Lovely birds, all with nice colors. Have a great day my friend.. :-))
Fabulous captures!!!
Great shots, Eileen! I love that indigo bunting and Nibbles is a fine-looking dog.
Thanks for hosting.
Hi Eileen, You took some great bird photos! Nice work! and Nibbles looks serious! :-) Have a great day!

Always a pleasure to have a look at this gorgeous place of yours full of amazing birds and animals!! Glad to see the little puppy with such magic look at the camera...

Jen
Wonderful array of yard birds!
But what I enjoy most is Nibbles intense and clever look!
You must have much fun with her!
