Saturday's Critters #254

Welcome to Saturday's Critters !


If you love all God's creatures like I do and also like to blog about them and take critter photos this is where you can share your critter post. Link up your post and share your critters, join in with my critter party ! You can share any kind of critters the real ones, pretend ones, statues and paintings, a new or old post!

I am sharing some of my feeder birds, The Tufted Titmouse, White Breasted Nuthatch and a Carolina Chickadee.  I can watch the birds coming and going from the feeder right outside my dining room window.  

The Carolina Wrens are a common sight in my yard. Usually I can hear them before I see them, they are loud. 



The Carolina Chickadee is another common bird seen in my yard year round. 


The White-breasted Nuthatch is another bird seen daily, they like the sunflower seeds. 





The Tufted Titmouse is a regular visitor to the feeders. 




I appreciate and thank everyone who links up their post and for all the wonderful comments ! 




Here is a list of my linky parties;

The birds nesting in my bougainvillea bush are loud too. I can hear them clearly but most of the time I can't see them. I would love to see them and have them pose for my camera but usually they will fly off before I could take their pictures. Have a beautiful weekend!

Anu said...

Hello Eileen. You have so beautiful birds in your yard. Great photos. Have a happy weekend.

Smart visitors to your feeder!

The Nuthatch and Titmouse, hanging on so carefully with tiny feet, beautiful birds and great pics.

Other than for the Tufted Titmouse could be my own backyard - even the feeders are the same!

I love Wrens! They are small and brisk. Lovely! I like their voice too, although I still mix it with Robins' voices... in the Italian countryside in winter they often live together in the same spaces.
All cute birds.
I am linking up an old post, today. Thanks for hosting.
Have a birdy weekend!

sweet birds!

Except for the Carolina Wren, which is a fairly common permanent resident, we do not see the other three birds which are so popular at feeders even down to the northern part of Florida (the nuthatch is more abundant in the Panhandle than on the peninsula). Now that we have sold our second home in Illinois we will have to get used to not having them around.

Hello Eileen,

Beautiful birds in your backyard. The Nuthatch is very similar to the one who lives here.
Happy Weekend!

Good morning Eileen, sweet birdie visitors at your feeder today, just to show you they're still enjoying snacks. Great captures. Hope your weekend is fabulous, and filled with sunshine!

my white throated sparrows have just returned, and the yard seems to be filled with them. i have not been seeing my carolina wrens. beautiful poses and captures!!

Al said...

You always have such pretty birds.

The wrens are saucy noisy little critters for their size.

Hi Eileen. And thank you for those stunning pictures today - every one a gem. All the time and trouble you take to fill those feeders paid off big time.

Thanks for the link up too.

Always nice to have visitors. I was in a good area with waterfowl yesterday.

The Adventures of the LLB Gang said...

What a beautiful selection of birds you have in your yard...We have never seen a white breasted nuthatch before!

William Kendall said...

I don't think the last of those ones shows up here. Pretty birds!

Angie said...

Eileen - lovely shots of the birdies. The perky tails on the wrens always crack me up. And those nuthatches feeding upside down … makes my neck hurt just looking at them! Thanks for hosting!

photodoug said...

Eileen, great backyard birds. Thanks for sharing.

rupam sarma said...

Cute birds :))

This N That said...

Yes, the wrens are very loud. It's hard to not be aware that they are around. But they're so cute! I saw a nuthatch the other day and couldn't remember what it was. Thanks for the refresher. Nice pictures. Enjoy your weekend.

RedPat said...

Love the wren, Eileen! I've had an exciting bird day for me - saw a Pileated Woodpecker and managed a pic. I haven't seen one for many years!

Small City Scenes said...

Love the Chickadees of course but one of my favs is the Nuthatch. We have the red breasted out here

Eileen, I have the same crew here in my neck of the woods. I hear the Wrens right outside my "office" as I'm typing..LOL!! ...:)JP

Victoria said...

Great photos of a nice variety of birds. The nuthatches always remind me of tiny vampires because of the way they walk headfirst down trees!

Klara S said...

Beautiful, sharp pictures.
Thank you for hosting.

HappyK said...

Like Wrens, such cute little birds. Great shots of all your backyard birds.

Lovely bird shots

~Kim at Golden Pines~ said...

Hello Eileen! Your post makes me miss having my feeders up to welcome those fun winged-visitors. I'm still on the fence about putting mine up because of our outdoor kitty. I'd be crushed if he hurt any of them..... I'll need to decide soon.

Joyful said...

Cute little birds. I love to see them at the feeders and in the bird bath :-) Have a wonderful Sunday ♥

Lynne said...

As the weather has continued to be colder the little birds have been flying in in droves.
We too have had the titmouse, chkckaee and nuthatch . . ,
No wrens though, I don’t think. I will have to listen!

Linda W. said...

Nice collection of feathered visitors at your feeder!

Linda said...

Sweet little birds! Thanks for hosting and thanks for your comments on my blog.

Gattina said...

We don't have these kind of birds here, they are cute !

Hello Eileen,
What a beautiful series of these birds, the last one is my favorite ..
Perfectly photographed, my compliments.
I can not post my link again, do you want to do it for me?
Best regards, Irma

Some of my favorite small birds here today. What a fun post!

I'm running a bit late visiting this weekend since I spent about 5 hours in the ER with heart issues. Thanks for sharing your post!

Jean said...

Yes, those Carolina Wrens are loud! Good thing they have such a lovely song to serenade us or they'd be in trouble. Wonderful photos of all your birds.

Mary Howell Cromer said...

Lovely little yard visitors. I always enjoy the wee Carolina Wrens...they were my first favorites of the wee birds. Happy week Eileen~
