Saturday's Critters #295

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 just love watching these Hummingbirds in my yard.  On this day, I think the young ones are coming to the feeder, there may have 5-6 been hummingbirds at one time. 



I do see the hummers at my flowers, but they move so quickly it is hard to capture a photo of them at the flowers.  











 Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at my feeder. I love watching these sweet little birds.

Firstly I very much agree with you Eileen with the quotes in red on your posts. Also your DIL looks very pretty and they look very happy. Gorgeous Moon shot as ever but these Humming birds feeding are wonderful. I could watch them all day. Thanks for hosting this meme and have a fabulous weekend.

Nancy Chan said...

You have a pretty feeder that looks like flowers. The hummingbirds love to visit your feeder. I like these words, "Kindness is free, let's pass it on". Have a beautiful weekend!

Klara S said...

Hello, Eileen. Lovely shots. You're lucky that you can watch hummingbirds in your garden! I watched your short movie with my daughter. She loved little birds.
Thank you for hosting.

Cath said...

they look quite little Eileen...so frustrating trying to photograph something that won't sit still LOL! I think you did a fine job.

Uppal said...

Lovely flower and sweet looking little bird having long razor sharp beak!

Vilken lycka att ha kolibri i sin egen trädgård. Jag har aldrig sett en kolibri i verkligheten.

diane b said...

Well done they are hard to capture with a camera.

Kenneth Cole Schneider said...

I enjoyed watching the hummer video. We had few all winter. One would visit our feeder. Hope to be seeing them again pretty soon.

MadSnapper said...

I have seen many hummingbirds at feeders in Central and South America, but I have only ever had two at my feeders, and then only one time. Lucky you!

Tom said...

...wonderful captures of a favorite of mine. Thanks for hosting and enjoy our day.

Gayle said...

The hummingbirds were a little late in becoming active here this year but they are quite active lately. Love them. Thank you for sharing yours. I was telling JP I had one buzz at me a couple times last evening. It may have been my polka dot visor. Happy Day.

Debbie said...

oh eileen, i am a tad jealous but really i am happy for you to be seeing so many hummingbirds at your feeders. i have 2 feeders out, but junior (the resident squirrels) enjoys the sweet water and has no problem emptying mine out!! i watched the video, there is a lot of action going on there!!!

i liked your kindness quote, that's a really good one. my mom always told me if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. that's an old one but when you think about it, it still holds true!!!

have a great weekend eileen, the weather outside is gorgeous right now. many thanks for hosting us critter lovers!!!

Phil Slade said...

Love the video Eileen. Lucky you having the whole family of hummers to watch. Thanks for the link today. And have a lovely weekend.

Marie Smith said...

Great photos. Those little birds are so entertaining but quick!

Jenn Jilks said...

They move so quickly, don't they? I marvel at them. And then mine (I think I just have two) have to fight over the 4-hole feeder!
Thanks for hosting!
I love summer, so many more critters than in winter.

riitta k said...

You have an ongoing bird theatre there! They look so lovely, these are not seen in Finland. Happy weekend Eileen.

I too love humming birds...they're little tiny miracles of nature.

PS: Thank you for hosting!

Barbara Rogers said...

What great little hummers. Mine seem to all be female, and very territorial...sometimes more intent on chasing another away then actually eating!

My Desktop Daily said...

Enjoy the new week ahead, Eileen!
