Saturday's Critters #133
Happy 4th of July. God Bless the USA!
Also wishing all my Canada blogging friends a Happy Canada Day! Sorry, this is a day late.
This suet feeder is just outside my dining room window. On this day I watched an adult male Downy Woodpecker feeding his young male.

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 some of the local woodpeckers seen in my yard and the adjacent woods. Sorry, from a rainy windy day there are pieces of suet on my window. Please excuse the dirty window.
This suet feeder is just outside my dining room window. On this day I watched an adult male Downy Woodpecker feeding his young male.
My youtube video showing a couple of Downy woodpeckers seen off the fire road.

Gotta love the woodpeckers. Happy Day.
they are adorable in the video, and i hear what sounds like a hunter shrieking but they don't seem scared. maybe it is an osprey calling and they have no worries
Hi Y'all!
Love your photos!
Y'all come on by!
Happy Independence Day! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
I have to find shady spots for the suet this time of year or it gets a bit gooey and drippy.
Those two are great. That must be so fun to watch them like that.

Aha! This answers a question not satisfactorily answered when I was on my trip and watching the birdies... got a few of these into the Fudge's lens!!! Love them... your little vid is enjoyable. Happy Fourth to you and yours! YAM xx

Hi Eileen, it's always nice to see your Downies.
We got here to Cacapon Mtn. in Berkeley Springs Thursday afternoon, but no birdies have come to get any suet yet. Also, I'm not hearing the nuthatch-chickadee-titmice racket at all.

Lovely shots. You make me miss having a house! Thanks for sharing yours! And thanks for the party! I posted my Annual Pet Parade!

Beautiful and detailed capture on the woodpeckers...
Advanced greeting for the July 4th and Happy Weekend
I love these pics of the attentive dad, Eileen!
Didn't have a critter for today - hope to be back next week!
They just love suet!
A great set of photo's
Have a great weekend and Happy 4th July wishes too!
All the best Jan
The downy pair are really loving your offerings -- they've found the perfect cafe!
Thank you so much for hosting -- I love this sharing party!!
the downies are so cute. :)
Cute dangling woodpeckers. Happy 4th of July!
These picture are adorable. Thank you for this treat
Fantastic the Woodpeckers, I can look again and again.
Our friend had an up close and personal contact with an American Flicker that drilled a hole in her cabin wall and nested inside with the soft insulation. At least it didn't drill all the way through to the interior. They babies have now fledged so they can repair the hole and hope there won't be a return next season. - Margy
Lovely shots of the woodpeckers.
Happy 4TH of July.
Woodpeckers are smaller than I though I pictured them as being bigger.

Love the video and pics of the Downy. I must try a video, good job Eileen.
Wonderful shots! I love that the adult is feeding the youngster.
Happy 4th of July weekend. Wishing you some fun celebrations.
Dearest Eileen; Wow, the Woodpeckers' video is really ADORABLE♡♡♡ As I could take pictures of Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker, they made me feel quite close to me p:-)
