Saturday's Critters #114
Happy Saturday, it's time to share your critters and post. Any kind of critter will do, even a new or old post.. I appreciate everyone who is linking in with this week's critter party. I am not sure how quickly I will be able to visit today I will be visiting everyone as soon as possible.
Feb 3 & 4th were sparrow days for me. Two new yard birds and one is a lifer.
Below are the Field Sparrow and my latest lifer the American Tree Sparrow.
It was a rainy foggy day and did not expected to see two new yards and one is a lifer. Above is the American Tree Sparrow a lifer and a great bird to show up in my yard.
The Field Sparrow arrived at the same time as my Tree Sparrow. They must have been traveling companions on this rainy day.
They both got busy with the buffet of seed I spread out on my deck railing.
The marking on a Tree Sparrow are the bi-colored bill, a dark spot on its chest, they have a rusty cap and eyeline.
I was happy to add these two birds to my yard list and a new lifer, hooray!

Extraordinary close-up images.
Congrats on a new lifer, Eileen. That's always exciting!
It is always exciting to have new birds in your garden and a lifer is a special addition. Thanksing for hosting and also for linking me in when I was away in Costa Rica. I am back very tired with a bit of jeg lag!
congrats on two new lifers Eileen! Your shots of them are wonderful! They really do seem to appreciate the buffet on your deck rails!
Have a great weekend and thanks for hosting!
sparrows are so funy , nice shots !
Greetings from Germany
Congratulations on the lifer. Can't think of a better way to cheer yourself up on a rainy day than watching yardbirds ... And a new one especially. What a little beauty he is too! That is a great buffet you have spread out for them. The word must be getting around that it is a great place to stop for a bite!
Hi Eileen,
Stunning images of the sparrow.
Beautifully photographed, beautiful light and perfectly sharp, my compliments.
Have a nice weekend,
Best regards, Irma
Good morning Eileen. Thank you for the chance to join in today. Whoever said that sparrows are boring is completely wrong. Your American Tree Sparrow is a little beauty ina quite discrete way. Congrats on it becoming a lifer and congrats on those fine pictures.
Have a good weekend.
The American Tree Sparrow is a beauty. Happy Day.
Good morning Eileen, I'm happy to participate this week, thanks for hosting.
There are so many varieties of sparrows that I found it difficult to distinguish them when I used to do a winter bird count but cute little birds aren't they? Glad you're adding to your lifer list.
You have so many interesting birds around you Eileen. The tree sparrow has lovely colouring. Thanks again for hosting and sharing.
Happy weekend!

The Tree Sparrow is a most attractive bird I've not heard of before.
He/she has such beautiful markings and interesting that you pointed out the markings on the beak - I will keep my eyes open and look for this on our slim pickings here!
I know I've told you before I would love to go birding with you - your country has the most interesting bird life ever.
Thank you for hosting Eileen.

These are sweet little birds. We have sparrows here although I'm not sure of the variety. I just know they come and eat the seed I leave out and have a cheery little chirp. - It's wonderful seeing yours up so close, the ones I feed always seem to fly whenever I am out with the camera.
So cute :) Lovely bird photos.
~ Have a nice weekend ~
Gorgeous photos of these beautiful birds !!

Sparrows are such sweet little birds! You have captured them nicely, Eileen. Well done on your lifers!
HI Eileen! We have these little ones around, and I'll admit to not knowing what kind of sparrows they are -- THANKS for teaching me something today!
I hope you've enjoyed your Saturday!!
You're lucky to have visitors like them. They're very cute! We don't have that here.
Cute little sparrow! My post is not as cheerful today.

Great to get the lifer with the tree sparrow! You have so many sparrow species over there!
Hi, Eileen! Your sparrows are so sweet. You are reminding me to go fill my bird feeder. Take care.
I adore the Tree Sparrows and see them as they migrate up north or south.
AWESOME sightings and photos, Eileen...such an incredible eye for detail...CONGRATULATIONS...:)JP
Love seeing all the different birds in your images.
Thanks for linking to Friday's Hunt. I am always amazed at your bird knowledge. I could never figure out any more specific than sparrow. LOL
What lovely views you have from your treadmill window, Eileen! Can you hear the birdsong, too? I bet it makes great music to work out to!
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead,
Poppy
