Saturday's Critters #126
My first sighting of the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks was just one on April 29th. Then there were 3 males sighted on May 1st and then I had 6 males on May 2nd.
This photo above shows 4 of the 6 on May 2nd. It is hard to get all 6 into one photo.
The Indigo Bunting will visit the feeders if it is not bullied.
The Blue Jays seem to be daily visitors to my feeders. I hope enjoyed my birds LOL, yes if they are in my yard they are my birds.
From my walk on the neighborhood fireroad, the Barred Owl, A neighbor on her horse and the Double-crested Cormorant at the lake.
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 sharing various yard birds. Lately I have been doing more birding from my windows and just around the neighborhood.

Your yard birds are amazing Eileen.
The different brightly coloured feathers are so beautiful.
I love the timid little one and hope she has a good feed when she's brave enough to compete!
That owl is gorgeous too.
Oh to have such beautiful bird life here - I would have to go into the forest.
Thank you for hosting.

Hi Eileen, I love all your yardbirds and LOVE the Barred Owl. Thanks for hosting this meme. Have a great weekend. Jo
Those blue feathers, truly beautiful, and an owl, down here the little ones near us only come out in the dark or late dusk.
The Indigo bunting male has a stunning blue color. It is very beautiful.

Hi Eileen, as always, it is a joy to visit and see the beautiful and colourful birds. That is a cute stand for the feeder and birds to stand on. Have a wonderful weekend!
Of course we like 'your' birds. I can only dream of a blue bunting stopping by, sigh. Happy Day.
Great photos Eileen. You have so many different kind of birds in your yard. Have a happy Saturday.
Good Morning Eileen!:)
The vibrant coloures of (your) birds are so beautiful to see, (mine) are not nearly as colourful.:( They discovered your yard is a safe place Eileen and a good restaurant, and you may get even more customers soon. Lucky for all of us!!:) Love your Owl capture too.
Have a great Weekend!:)

Happy Saturday to you , Eileen
You're making me jealous with your Indigo buntings. I haven't seen mine in 2 years.
Beautiful photos
Enjoy the day
You have truly created an oasis for your birds ... They must spread the word far and wide. Would love to see a red breasted grosbeak! Your pics are the next best thing! Thanks for these and for hosting.
Great birds! Would love to see a Blue Grosbeak... one of these days! Thanks for sharing!

As ever, Eileen, I am in awe of the colour out your window!!! Have a super weekend... YAM xx
The Grosbeaks and Bunting are gorgeous! Those are two we don't get at the feeders.
It's a busy time at the feeders this time of the year. Lovely photos.
Só podemos nos encantar por aqui,Eillen! Lindas todas! beijos, ótimo fim de semana,chica
Gorgeous birds! I especially love the indigo bunting- SO beautiful! Have a lovely weekend!
I've never seen a flock of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks! Sorry, I don't have any critter pix today.
What a glorious party at your feeders! I'd faint to see more than one rose breasted grosbeak. For sure. I'll be lucky to see one this year. We do see indigo buntings much more often, but still rare. The weather has been so cold, I am wondering if the migratory birds are late this year. I want to add to the meme, I just need to get the post written. Look for in a day or so.---way at the bottom.
the owl looks like he is peering at the photographer. I LOVE IT.. the blue of the bunting is so beautiful. back in the 60's i had a wool coat that color.. love the grosbeak guys and the first photo the Mr Caridnal is keeping an eye on Mrs because she is sitting next to another male type
Your feeder sure is attracting a lot of Spring beauties! How wonderful to watch.
Hello Eileen, and happy Saturday! I think a few of your feathered friends are looking back at you too! They sure have a wonderful place to gather and snack! Hope your weekend is super!
I think I am fighting a bit of jealousy . . .
I want Grosbeaks and Indigo Buntings too!
Could you arrange that for me . . .
Wonderful visitors Eileen . . .
