Saturday's Critters #144
I hope you enjoyed my birds and butterfly. It was a nice day to walk to the lake.
As always thanks for the visits and the nice comments. I also thank everyone who is linking up and sharing their critters.. Happy Saturday, have a great weekend!
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 may be away from my computer but I will be visiting everyone as soon as possible.
These are some images from our walk to our lake, A Great Spangled Fritillary Butterfly, a juvenile male Scarlet Tanager, an Ovenbird and a Great Blue Heron flying low over the lake.
A not so good shot of the juvie Scarlet Tanager, they stay high up in the tree canopy.
A pretty Ovenbird, a breeder in the woods around our house and the lake.
I happen to catch a Great Blue Heron fly away. Can you find it?

Beautiful pictures specially butterfly on flowers.
Love the butterfly. There are no Fritillaries where I am although I used to see them when I live in Britain.
Lovely pics. Thanks for sharing.
Greetings.
Your butterfly pictures are a thing apart!

All beautiful moments to capture Eileen! The Great Blue flying off over the lake is lovely!
Thanks for hosting and enjoy your weekend!
Those Ovenbirds can be difficult to catch out in the open. Loved your lake landscape! Thanks for hosting us and have a great day!
Hi Eileen,
Great series of photos of the birds, the butterflies and the countryside
Have a nice weekend.
Best regards, Irma
Beautiful shots Eileen. The water scene is so peaceful.

Yes I see it! I always think of herons as being akin to the Vulcan Stealth Bomber...but that's just my crazy mind! The ovenbird is indeed lovely and another bird to add to my wish list. Knowing nothing about them I of course was prompted to search (as one does), and came across this rel="nofollow"> article...which, when I saw 'Bristol' had me wondering if the critters were over here in Blighty; but no, turns out this is Bristol VA. See how this birding lark takes us to far and new places??!!! YAM xx
Pretty butterfly, cute birds and a beautiful lake. Happy Saturday and have a wonderful weekend!
Fantásticas estas fotografias minha amiga.
Um abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

Good Happy Saturday morning to you! I'm posting early too. Your critters are playful charmers this morning, enjoy your day and weekend!
The Frittery Butterfly is an exceptional find
but then you usually have "exceptional"
birds, butterflies and other critters to show us!
Happy weekend . . .
Thanks for hosting . . .
No little critter pics from me today . . .
Beautiful butterfly! I believe the ovenbird was posing!
I do see the beautiful blue heron in flight. That adds so much to a photo. Enjoy your weekend! Happy Saturday! Hugs, Diane

The butterfly is great and yes ... blue heron in the last picture I found lol ..... The other birds are beautiful again. Pity the bird in the 2nd picture was a little high.

Terrific shot of the butterfly.
You really have some cool birds. :)
Thank you for filling my Saturday with these lovely pictures
Always wonderful nature photography here ~ beautiful!
Wishing you happy days ~ ^_^
I saw a scarlet tananger only once in my yard. It was the day my son was born, and I took it as a sign to call my new "daughter" Scarlet! But when I had a bouncing baby boy and it didn't seem right to burden him with that name ;)
Love the shots of the ovenbird. I've never seen one, although I understand they are plentiful where we camp.
Enjoy your weekend Eileen!

Dearest Eileen; I always wish to take shots butterflies or dragonflies with flowers, wonderful photo of Scarlet Tanager with flower♪ The lovely Ovenbird must be staring at you(♡^.^♡)

Excellent birds Eileen. Love the Ovenbird and you've gotten a photo of a Scarlet Tanager. That's one I've seen briefly but have never gotten any pics of. Beautiful area you did your photos in. Hope you are having a fun week out. Chris
