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!
The Hairy Woodpeckers have been visiting my suet feeder often, a few times a day. This is the male below, you can see the red spot on it's head.
Here comes the Red-bellied woodpecker in for a landing on the suet. Make way!!
Mr. Red-bellied Woodpecker says good, now I have the suet all to myself.
Below are the Downy Woodpecker and just a peak at the Pine Warbler on the other side of the suet feeder.
Celebrate Earth Day April 22nd, we can each do some easy things to help the environment.. Here are some suggestions I found on a Earth Day website. Try walking or ride a bike to places rather than drive, plant a tree, recycle as much as you can, switch to ebills if you can, plant an organic veggie garden, stop using pesticides, volunteer your time and my favorite is make an oasis for the birds and critters in your yard.
Thanks to all my visitors and for all the wonderful comments. I appreciate everyone who loves critters and has linked up their critter post.
Here is a list of my linky parties;

These beautiful birds re so lucky to have your place as a haven for food and rest. Thanks for reminding me that Earth Day is on 22nd, have to do something nice that day for sure :)
it is a busy place at your bird feeder and the woodpeckers are lovely it. I do all the these that are suggested although I do ot have the room for an organic vegetable plot unfortunately. Thanks for hosting, stay safe adn have a wonderful weekend.
All good suggestions to ease the confinement we have in this lockdown. However, Aside form small businesses and others who want to open again, I think we need to have 14 days with no new cases before the restrictions are eased. Love the birds at the feeders. I have been saving sunflower szeeds for the winter dining down here, outside , maybe Hugh will need to mAke a bird table.
Hello Eileen. I love these woodpeckers. Great photos. Have a nice weekend.
The great spotted woodpecker oh I love him and when he knocks on the tree aha he is back when I'm on the go. I probably don't see him for that, so I'll look at you today.
Have a good Weekend!
Greetings Elke
Awesome birds pics.
Greetings
Love watching the birds share----or not.
Nice shots
Have a happy weekend

Wonderful to have the woodpeckers visit and feed from the suet feeder. I am contributing by growing pesticide free edibles in my garden and recycling as much as I can. Have a great weekend.
Hello Eileen,
Beautiful series of photos of the woodpecker.
Photo 4 is nothing to see unfortunately.
I enjoyed the photos.
Do you want to post my link, I can't do that.
Best regards Irma
Hello Eileen,
I love Woodpeckers … starts with Woody Woodpecker the strip, until after the little or great woodpecker flying around on this earth!
About Earth Day, I recycle my mess every day and try to be as economical as possible with everything… and not only on Earth Day!
I wish you a nice weekend!
Stay healthy, stay at home!

The birds in flight made me smile - so winner winner!!! Happy weekend. YAM xx
Woodpeckers are always nice to watch...they have an uniqueness of their own.
Thanks for the suggestions about Earth Day.
Have a nice and safe weekend!
Lovely shots of woodpeckers and i think all these days of lockdown could be considered as earth day as less machineries and human activities are invilved. Hope you guiys are safe and staying home in peace
Take care
how cool to see two species of woodpeckers at the same time. Never happens where I live. All are rare except for the Great spotted one.
Take care, stay safe. :)
Hello Eileen,
Beautiful photos of the woodpecker. They are very hungry!
Have a nice week!
Nice photos of the birds enjoying their meals.
Thanks for hosting, take care and have a lovely weekend.
Stay safe!
Nice to be able to feature three woodpeckers in one post. I am still trying to find my first sapsucker of the spring.
...I've given up on my suet feeder for this year, the squirrels have taken over and eat a cake in no time! I use to enjoy seeing the woodpickers. Thanks Eileen for hosting and take care.
Hello Eileen, I loved the Woodpecker photos especially the action photos! Thanks for sharing and hosting this meme. I have linked up today. Be safe. Jo
Muito lindo tudo,Eileen! beijos, ótimo fim de semana, aqui ainda só EM CASA! chica
I liked your woodpecker morning Eileen. Looks like you need more feeders to stop those woodpeckers fighting over the goodies on offer. Thanks for the link-up this morning for all us stay-at-homes.
It is interesting to see the hairy and downy woodpeckers in the same post. Thank you.
I too love woodpeckers, not so much when they peck at the sides of our wooden house! But that seems to be one woodpecker and just twice. Mind you, he did make a small hole in the wall. Luckily we are fervent bird lovers here!
I don't know if I've seen a Hairy here! What great photos! We have the little Downy in our feeders and they are favs! I love the idea to make an oasis for the birds in your yard. They are a joy to watch. Have a good day and thanks for the party! Hugs, Diane
Nice shots of these distinctive looking birds, Eileen. Keep well and take care.
We see Downys more often and it's funny how much larger the Hairys look when they do show up. Nice photos!
PS: Thank you for hosting, Eileen.
the downy is my favorite of the woodpeckers. we saw the red headed one this morning after we heard this really loud noise. he was on the metal gutter to a neighbors house doing the rat a tat tat on the metal. wow. I don't think I have seen a downy in real life. loved the landing on the suet photo...
about earth day I do everything listed except grow a food garden and can't ride a bike
Great shots! Love the picture of the red-bellied coming in to land on the suet!
hi eileen, i messed up my link, can you delete #26 for me, thanks!!
i have been seeing a lot of woodpeckers myself, the red-bellied, not the hairy...and of course i see the downey every day. they are beautiful, and your images give us a clear look at how the red bellied got it's name!!
have a nice weekend eileen, stay safe and stay happy, tomorrow is suppose to be gorgeous!! many thanks for hosting!!
thank you to let's know of male woodpecker by seeing "the red spot on it's head."
# Stay safe
I love the Woodpeckers at the suet thriller, Eileen! It is fun to watch the interactions between the birds.
che belle che sono le foto di oggi.
La natura è bellissima e in questo brutto periodo dove siamo per forza di cose costretti in casa, la apprezziamo ancora di più.
You keep on getting lots of visitors to your yard. Nice.
Love the coming in for a landing shot!

Hello Diane,
The Hairy is a larger bird, it takes up the whole side of the feeder and still hangs over some. The Downy woodie is much smaller. All the birds are a joy to watch, I am a bird nerd. Thank you so much for the comment! Enjoy your day, wishing you a great weekend.

Hello,
It is fun watching them, LOL I am easily entertained. Thank you so much for the comment! Enjoy your day, wishing you a great weekend.
Great photos and fantastic action shot of that red bellied woodpecker flying in. How rude! But I guess it's every bird for himself out there. :-)
I see that pine warbler, what a pretty yellow it is. Great action shot of the suet landing, lol. Woodpeckers might be annoying to some, but I love to hear them and they are so pretty.
It is always a joy to watch birds at a feeder. Their antics can be so funny sometimes :)
Hairy and Red Belly both good lookin fellas!
Fantastic shots of the woodpeckers ~ ^_^ ~ Coming 'in for a landing' is a neat shot ~ love it!
Be Well,

Thanks, Honey. We love you!
I see your great backyard birds and wish I could put up a feeder again, but it is impossible because the Muscovy Ducks and pigeons will empty it in minutes. We don't see Hairy Woodpeckers here, at least so far. Stay safe!
I enjoy seeing woodpeckers of all varieties. You got some good shots here. Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you for sharing your woodpeckers! It's rare for us here in Florida to see a Hairy Woodpecker.
Hope all is well with you.
Very nice !
The red on those woodpeckers sure stand out. I miss having bird feeders out but can't here with the bears.
Neat photos of the woodpeckers. I often see the Pileated Woodpecker in our woods. I'll have to see if I can get some photos of them. Happy Saturday.
Great action shots!
Its good you have the feeders to attract birds for your photos without going out.

Hello Eileen,
This is so fantastic. Wonderful pictures of these woodpeckers. These birds are so nice.
And at this time when more people are inside his house, you can hear the drumming of the woodpeckers nearby to indicate their territory. That's so nice!!
Greetings, Marco
What a wonderful bird.
I love your photos.

Two cute woodpeckers and a funny description, I hope they didn't argue about food. Regards.
What great photos!
I do love the woodpeckers! I always make sure there's suet for them, even though those pesky squirrels eat it more than they do.
Thank you Giga!It is so nice to hear from you.I hope you are doing well, take care. Wishing you a happy new week,
Thanks Kim! The woodies do love the suet. Have a great day and a happy new week!
As long as they're not pecking on my house, Woodpeckers are one of my favorites. Super suet fans!
I do like all of these woodpecker photographs.
Hope you had a good weekend.
All the best Jan
Adorei as fotos!!! Mesmo com tanta comida, que chega para todos, os pássaros continuam disputando...
Maravilhosa forma de assinalar o Dia da Terra!... Pelo menos, ela está se repondo um pouco, aproveitando esta janela de oportunidade, que foi esta pausa forçada, na actividade humana!...
Beijinhos!
Ana
