ReplyDeleteSo fine shots for a birding calendar!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too and many birds to come!
The whole year of birds is so lovely, but the February duo is my favourite. January is almost a tie for first choices.

ReplyDeleteHello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteWonderful series of different birds.
All perfectly photographed, my compliments.
Foto1, 6 and 9 are my favorite.
Do you want to post my link again?
I wish you a very happy 2019.
Best regards, Irma
Beautiful birds all of them. I would love to see the Bluebird with my own eyes. Very nice to look at. And the Osprey nest too. There are a nest I use to check on. But it is too far away. And if I go closer I end up below the nest and see nothing. But that is the way it is.
ReplyDeleteThanks for running the meme. For me it is scarse nowadays but sometimes you get lucky. My post today, Goldcrest, was my best Christmas present.
Wishing you and your family a great new year. :)
See you Next Year Monica / NatureFootstep
That review of the birds, month by month, really reinforces how lucky we are to have these wonderful creatures in our lives. All the very best for the New Year, Eileen. If ever you make it up to southern Ontario we will help you to do a little birding here.
ReplyDeleteLovely come up with the post on birds captured from every month of the year! Wish 2019 was another wonderful year for you to come up visiting many places and capture plenty of critters and birds from your walk! Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots! I'm curious about the screech owl. Are you providing any food or habitat specifically for the owl? -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures

Hi Eileen, As always I enjoyed your photos in this edition of Saturday's Critters. In my blog post today I mention looking back to my first post eight years ago. In all of those 8 years one of the best blogs I've found to follow is Viewing Nature With Eileen. You just do a superior job with your blog! And, I always appreciate your kind comments on my blog. Thank you for your blog friendship! Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year! Take good care Eileen! John
ReplyDeleteA spending selection of birds, beautiful shots! Thank you for all the wonderful posts you have shared with us Eileen. Happy New Year to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThat yellow bird is so cute. And the red bird is a beauty. The woodpecker is such a handsome fellow. He looks a bit different than ours in California. Our red-headed woodpeckers have partial red heads. Happy New Year Eileen! I hope you find lots of interesting critters to photo in 2019. You're so talented.

Happy New Year Eileen. Your images are delightful but my favourite has to be the one of the Bobolinks. I look forward to reading your posts in 2019. Have a great January!!
ReplyDeleteA most Happy and Healthy New Years to you, and another new year of adventures for you and for us! You bring us to the most delightful of places.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a fun and feathery New Year's Eve and Day, Eileen. Your card is lovely in design and sentiment.
