Saturday's Critters #338

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! 

Thanks and  check back for any replies to your comments.


I am sharing some of my recent yard birds.  The Goldfinches are always a treat to see. A brightly colored male and a female nearby.



 The bunnies have a place in our yard too.



 The squirrels are never far away, they know when it time to eat.



A pair of our pond frogs. 




The Indigo Buntings seem to come and go, I am always surprised to see these pretty blue birds in my yard. This Indigo Bunting looks a little young, not entirely the pretty blue color. 








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 my linky:

this time the blue bird is the most beautiful in the group or the indigo buntings. These colors are terrific.
I like to see the rabbit or the goldfinches, it's not beautiful. The wildlife is so fascinating with you!
I wish you a happy weekend, hugs Elke

Nancy J said...

A collection of delightful birds and other critters, love those bushy tails.

Anu said...

Hello Eileen. The photo of Indigo Bunting is awesome. It is a beautiful bird. I love the photo of frogs. Thank you. Take care!

Hello,
the bunny looks hungry and will find food...the squirrel too.
Lovely series of critters.
The Indigo Bunting has a wonderful colour!
I wish you a pleasant weekend!

You find so much wild life in your yard. The frogs are cute.

Calendula said...

Hello Eileen,
I'm really baffled about the stunning blue of the Indigo Bunting! I can't remember a bird of that colour here in Southern Germany!
Have a nice weekend!

NatureFootstep said...

Love to see what wildlife you have in your garden. :) Wish I would see any frogs where I live, But they hide from me. :( the little Indigo Bunting seems to be painted on :) Love it!

Take care Eileen, stay safe.


Nancy Chan said...

Cute critters. The Goldfinch male has a very bright and attractive yellow coat. Pretty blue coat on the Indigo Bunting. Thank you for hosting and have a beautiful weekend.

Oh my word, to have such a pretty bird as that bunting at your feeder must indeed be a thrill! All birds have their charm, of course - and indeed all critters, and you have provided us with some grand shots today! YAM xx

Linda said...

The indigo bunting made a quick visit to our garden this week too. And yesterday I found a tiad living in mu old duck boots I use as planters.

Tom said...

...Eileen, another wonderful collection, you certainly captured the squirrel! Thanks for hosting.

We have a superabundance of rabbits this year, and while we enjoy them, they are capable of driving my poor wife crazy as they nibble away on everything that tries to grow in her garden. I think we need a resident Great Horned Owl - and maybe a couple of Red-tailed Hawks too!

The bunting and the frogs are my favourites but these photos are great!

Rose said...

It is always fun to see your backyard beauties...love both of these.

Phil Slade said...

Hello Eileen. The yellow of the male Goldfinch is almost unbelievable, even though at this time of year they are at their best. And of course I am always happy to look at Indigo Buntings, yet another stunner. I hope you are enjoying a peaceful Saturday and thanks for the link today.

Debbie said...

such a nice variety of critters today, i think you have everything!!! oh your pair of goldfinches are so pretty, i am sure they are a couple. mr.'s yellow is so bright, to easily attract the female. perhaps the frogs are mates too!!

my yard is filled with bunnies right now, i am hoping they don't eat all of my flowers!!

have a happy weekend eileen, thanks for hosting saturday critters!!!

Gayle said...

A glimpse of nature in the foothills of the Alleghenies right in our backyards. Gotta love it. Happy Day.

Kenneth Cole Schneider said...

I especially like the goldfinches and the perky squirrel!

Jeanie said...

I so love your bunnnies! What a yard you have. Have a wonderful weekend.

~Lavender Dreamer~ said...

What a gorgeous Indigo Bunting and how fun to see something like this! LOVE the frogs! I try to see them but when I walk close to the water, they jump in and I miss the photo! They are just so ugly that they are cute! Enjoy your day! Hugs!

My Desktop Daily said...

Beautiful assortment of photos of your yard animals, Eileen. The goldfinch is a magnificent colour, but my favourites are the blues of the indigo buntings.

Indigo Bunting is gorgeous!
Thank you for hosting.

Hootin Anni said...

Finches, of all kinds are pretty! That chomping squirel is the cutest. And the bunting, young one or getting ready to molt? (I'm not entirely sure they molt after breeding).

Red said...

You have some very fine yard visitors.

The Goldfinches are beautiful. I saw some earlier this spring, but they were gone after a couple of days. I had lots on the sunflowers when I lived in Illinois, but I guess they were merely passing through Oklahoma. Beautiful indigo bunting! Happy Saturday!

The little blue bird is something I've never seen before and I think we only have the greenfinches here.

Mikael Bergman said...

Good captured pictures

Anni said...

Crafty Green Poet said...

lovely photos, what a wonderful selection of wildlife!

~Kim at Golden Pines~ said...

You've got the same fun visitors in your yard that I do, including a Blue Bunting, which I'm surprised seems to have stayed around. We did have what I'm sure was a whole family of Cardinals the other day - Five of them were on our front porch, it was a real treat to see and watch them..... where was my camera? :-)

Hope you are well, Eileen and enjoying your weekend!

Bob Bushell said...

Beautiful the images of Goldfinches and Indigo Buntings are my favourites, and the frog, lovely.

Ailime said...

Hi Eileen,
How beautiful the animals in your yard are!

The frog, not so much;)) !!
Hugs and good week.

Love all the little critters. We have an abundance of Bunnies this year. Seems to go about every 3 yrs. They are cute and don't bother my plants and even the dog ignores them
