Here are some of my back yard birds, butterflies and critters.
The Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have found some place to perch in the nearby blueberry bushes which are really close to their feeders.
The neighborhood squirrels are well fed here, I stopped using the thistle sock because the darn squrrels would chew a hole in them and the seed would just fall out. I started buying the thistle seed and put in a small feeder and you can see the squirrel made himself at home on the feeder.
Black Swallowtail and a Great Spangled Fritillary.

Loved you photos. Ruby-throated Hummingbird is a beautiful bird.
A wonderful post for a bright and cheerful morning. I like the cute squirrel enjoying itself at the seed feeder. Beautiful butterflies and birds are happy models!
Lovely hummingbird shots and the butterflies are fabulous.
Amazing shots, Eileen! Loved every one...especially the orange butterfly on the lantana!

Fico encantada aqui! Todas lindas e o esquilo me chama muito a atenção! Adoro ver! beijos, lindo fim de semana! chica
Great critter shots as always. Like them.
Beautiful butterflies and hummers. I hope to see the hummingbirds down here fairly soon. We had no squirrels at all when we moved here, as the subdivision was only 2 years old and the trees were all small. Now they are everywhere and enjoying a bumper crop of acorns.
What lovely photos, the butterflies are beautiful. I love the photo of the hummingbirddrinking and that greedy squirrel!
Hello Eileen, your hummingbirds are beautiful. As always I love the butterfly images. I have never even seen a Black Swallowtail. Thanks for sharing and thanks for hosting this meme. I think I may be back to posting regularly now. Have a great Saturday. Jo
It is amazing that we can seriously contemplate going to Mars but we cannot construct a seed dispenser that can defeat the ingenuity of a squirrel!
Great critter photos as always. I love the hummingbirds and the butterflies. Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful weekend.
Beautiful butterflies and hummingbird photos. I've been missing from Saturday Critters for a few weeks as I had knee replacement surgery and took a break from my website.
LOVE those hummingbirds!!
Great critters, as ever. I adore the two-for-one with the two on your flowers. That is such a bonus!!! tee hee.
Thanks for hosting.
Fico sempre maravilhado a ver estas fotografias.
Um abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

Lovely photos, Eileen. I love the hummingbirds and butterflies!
Your pictures are lovely, Eileen.
Thank you for hosting.
I enjoy watching the hummingbirds. You got some great shots. Love the butterflies. I've been trying to get a few pics myself, but none turned out as good as yours. My favorite is the squirrel. Made me laugh. They always find a way! Happy Saturday and thanks for hosting.
PS: Thanks for hosting!
Great photos of the hummingbird! The butterflies are beautiful!
Eileen, squirrels certainly can are ferocious eaters. Thanks for sharing.
Love you 🌸
Oh that chunky little squirrel eating up all the seed. They can be greedy-gobs!
You don't have to travel far to see many beautiful critters, Eileen!
you might want to get a larger sized feeder, in order for the big bushy tail intruder to 'fit in' better.. the hummers are soooo beautiful... I did not know they sit still until my friend Pat sent me a pic he took this past week, it was sitting on a branch. like yours.... lovely photos
Super butterflies Eileen. That Black Swallowtail is especially very beautiful. What a treat to see that in your garden. This year is really poor for butterflies over here, despite the hot summmer. There's something not right about the lack of insects. Have a great weekend and thanks for the links today.
It's a great time of the year for butterflies.
Spectacular capture on the butterflies and hummingbirds! Just wonderful light and colors on the butterflies and glad u come up with a feeder for squirrels..
Happy weekend Eileen
Good morning Eileen, hope you're having a wonderful weekend. You caught a hilarious shot of squirrels and their strong willed ways of getting every last bite of food! Great butterflies too, they seem to really be flying around more than all summer. WE saw a great abundance of them at the Minnesota Zoo this last week, unbelievable better than I've ever seen there too.
Beautiful butterflies, and the squirrel made me laugh!
Wonderful photos of the Hummingbirds!
Have a great weekend!
Given a bit of time, a squirrel is always going to figure out a way to defeat 'squirrel proof' feeder systems.
amazing hummingbird macro shots!
Happy Day to you,

A beautiful array of Butterflies Eileen. Have a superb week.
Such great shots, Eileen. Love the hummers and the butterflies are so pretty!
you have to admit, swuirrels are very intelligent :)
Love all your butterflies and hummers :) Beautiful all of them.
Wow, very nice ! The first photo is a absolute favourite !
You have beautiful hummingbird pictures. Mine are few and far between these days. The feeders are attracting more wasps than birds so I'm not sure I'll leave them up much longer. Do you have that problem? - Margy
Awesome close ups...There is no winning up against a squirrel I've been trying for years too!
Beautiful photos! I have enjoyed all of our hummers this season and will be sad to see them go!
I love your hummingbirds and the butterflies are pretty. The squirrel is quite a piggy!
Lovely Bird's and butterfly captures . Lovely capture.
You KNOWhow much I love your hummers Eileen...thanks for sharing this with us this week at I'd Rather B Birdin'
Really wonderful pictures . . .
From the humming bird, to greedy squirrel to butterflies . . .
Blueberry perch is great for pictures!
aw
Enjoyed your critters
Squirrels sure love bird food! Great photos, really enjoyed seeing all the butterflies and the hummingbird.
Eileen - we just can't win with our bird feeders, can we? There's no outsmarting these critters! Love the butterflies - one of God's most delicate and amazing creations! Thanks for hosting!
Beautiful images as always, Eileen. Love the butterflies so very much!
It is simply amazing how much beauty is right in front of us!!...:)JP
Beautiful creatures and photos Eileen!
Love that pesky and beautiful squirrel.
