Happy 4th of July, Independence Day 2020!!
These are some birds seen during our fire road walks, in the forest next to our home. The Ovenbird is a breeder in this forest and can be heard often, they have a loud call.
Below you can see the black bordered orange crown on the Ovenbird's head.
We walked by the old Great Blue Heron's nest and we saw 5 Turkey Vultures hanging out. Below are 2 vultures standing on a branch with their wings wide open.
Out by our mailbox I saw a small flock of Cedar Waxwings.
The 3 Grand-dogs: Nibbles bottom right, Winnie the Corgi in the middle and at the top is Chewy.
Winnie has her favorite spot on the shelf under the coffee table.
Thanks to all my visitors and for all the wonderful comments. I appreciate everyone who loves critters and has linked up their critter post.

Wishing you Happy Independence Day! Wonderful sightings of birds from your walks. Cute grand dogs with cute names. I especially like the names Nibbles and Chewy. Were they nibbling and chewing everything they could got hold of when they were puppies? Looks like Winnie is playing hide and seek. They make great company. Thank you for hosting and happy weekend.
Winnie, are you waiting till coffee and biscuits are served? Love those birds, you have so many close by.
Happy Independence day! I like the sightings especially the vulture. Like the picture of Winnie in her favorite spot.
Happy 4th of July I wish you and your photos are great from these vultures, so what to see in nature is fantastic and the other smaller birds are so beautiful too.
I had to laugh at this dog gang, cute as they look and Winnie under the table
Take care dear greetings Elke
Love the image of the dogs looking up at you. Thanks for hosting, stay safe and have a wonderful week
Have a great 4th Eileen. Best wishes to all of our friends in the United States of America. That picture of Winnie in her favourite spot made me laugh. Lovely shots of the Ovenbird too, and I remember the loudness of their song too.
Hello Eileen,
Beautiful series of photos.
The birds are beautiful but I love the dogs.
I wish you a beautiful Independence Day.
Would you like to post my link, I can't do that.
Best regards Irma
Great image of the singing oven bird! Have a great Independence Day!

Hello Eileen!
Happy 4th of July! Have a great celebration!
Great shots of the Ovenbird and the Waxwing birds!
Your three gran dogs,are so cute!!!
I like Winnie sitting under the coffee table!! I’m sure she’s enjoying your company!
Have a lovely day and a happy weekend!
Dimi...
The Oven bird is a beauty with it´s crown :)
I could never decide weather I liked vultures or not. The head is soo ugly, but the body is great and powerful. Love to see the wings spread out.
I think Winnie found herself a great spot.
Take care and have a great week.
Happy 4th, Eileen. Great selection of photos. Love the grand dogs, looks like they are waiting for treats to be distributed. :) Enjoy the holiday!
Your first ovenbird photo made me smile as it looks like it is singing for joy. I hope you have an enjoyable Independence Day celebration :)
I love your birds, but the pups are cute, too!
Happy July 4th. Thanks for hosting. Have a great day!
...Eileen your Ovenbird collage is a beautiful way to start the day, thanks. Have a Happy 4th.
I would be delighted to find an Ovenbird here today, but there is little chance of that! Happy 4th July.
Nice shots Eileen.
Wondeful the vultures.
And funny shot of the dog under the table. This way he can keep an eye on everything and maybe occasionally pick up a cookie if you don't pay attention...hihi...!!
Greetings, Marco
i remember the ovenbirds from your sightings last year, i have never seen one!! the waxwings are another bird i do not see and would really love to.

HI Eileen, great birds for a hot summer post! and sweet dogs....I plan to celebrate our independence when we regain it!! You have a great weekend.
Happy Independence Day to you, Eileen!
The photos of your doggies make me smile especially Winnie's favorite spot! :-)
Your grand-dogs aer so cute. Wish we had cedar waxwings here - we rarely see them.
I hope one or more of the herons haven't died and the vultures are after the remains.
Love the Ovenbird! Although we have then here in winter they do not sing their full song as I remember from childhood living up in New Jersey. Even the few I have seen in NE Illinois do not sing during migration. Nice puppies!
I've never heard of the Ovenbird! I think that maybe I've seen one, though. The dogs are so cute. Su cute that Winnie has her spot.
Some wonderful birds here Eillen. I think my favourite is the Ovenbird. It has a nice crown and clean speckly chest.
Happy 4th July!
Happy July 4th to you! Lovely birds and I haven't seen an ovenbird here in ages. Very cute to see the grand dogs too.
The oven bird is so cute! Loving the grand-dogs!
Wonderful pics of the Ovenbird, Eileen! Have a safe holiday!

Gotta love those cute faces looking up at you.
The Ovenbird is new to me. Nice shots. We had 13 turkey vultures and a couple of black vultures circling over the pasture to our south yesterday. I think the neighbors must have lost a cow for there to have been so many in one place. Love the dog's names. So cute! Happy 4th!
I'd be under the coffee table too if that's where donuts are served! - Margy
That is nice ! I love the dogs !
Wow the turkey vulture with its wings spread is awesome. Great capture!!
Happy 4th of July …
Lovely to see the dogs, and I've not heard of an Ovenbird before.
All the best Jan
Loved this post. I'm so late today!
Love that singing bird and those three pups are really cute! The turkey vulture shot is great. Happy 4th of July to you!
Happy 4th of July, Independence Day 2020.....

Winnie looks cute on the shelf! Thanks for hosting.
I do hope the 3 grand dogs will be inside while the fireworks are popping outside, they are so cute, I'm wishing I had a little dog again.
Beautiful shots!
Thanks so much for allowing us birders to drop in and enjoy your photos from I'd Rather B Birdin'.
As always,your critters (and bird photos) are perfection Eileen!
Beautiful birds, beautiful dogs.
I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July! That Ovenbird is so pretty...I need to go look it up to hear its call. I think I have looked it up before but cannot set it in my mind. Always good to see the granddogs, isn't it.
🌝 Thank you Marie! Enjoy your day!
Thanks Betty! Seeing the Vultures can be a good or bad thing. Have a great day and a happy new week!

Good Sunday morning Eileen and Happy 4th of July the birthday of our great country! This Ovenbird does have a silly name and when I googled it guess it may have to do with the area and being hot, like an oven. I like learning new things, and I thought I'd seen them around here, but it seems doubtful. They are sweet, and as always your posts are enlightening and interesting. Enjoy your Sunday and next week.
Those ovenbirds are so cute! And so are your grand-dogs :) Hope you had a wonderful holiday!
Hello my friend... Lovely pictures and dogs... I Hope you are well... Happy week ahead..
Terrific series of images, Eileen!
It's great to see some birds in their breeding range which we only otherwise observe during migration here in Florida.
Our Fourth was great and we hope your new week is off to a good start!
Beautiful birds and your pictures are just amazing. Happy 4th to you and family.
Hugs diane
That turkey vulture shot? Four star. It's truly magnificent. I hope your fourth was terrific, Eileen!
Lovely to see your cute grand dogs and the birds on your walk. Thank you Eileen and I hope you had a great 4th and will have an equally great week ahead.
I can almost hear that ovenbird ...what a great picture of it calling! Your sons dogs are quite the trio! All so different from each other.
Helloo, Beautiful post.
Greetings _()_
Great shots of the birds. Hope your 4th of July was happy.
Thank you Rose! The Ovenbird has a real loud call.
Enjoy your day, have a great new week!!
