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 am sharing some of my birds, seen either in my yard or seen close by. The days are flying by, I am happy to see these sweet birds right from my dining room window.
A female Ruby-throated Hummingbird at the feeder.
The male and female Bluebirds like sitting on our gutter, close to the bluebird house. If these 2 Bluebirds are not sitting on the gutter, the male is sitting in a near by tree, he keeps a watch on the birdhouse.
A Scarlet Tanager in a nearby tree top.
I am pretty sure this is the Great Spangled Fritillary butterfly, it likes the Lantana blooms.
Thanks to all my visitors and for all the wonderful comments. Stop back to see replies to your comments. I appreciate everyone who loves critters and has linked up their critter post. Wishing everyone a great weekend.

Love the different feathers, nature gives us so much colour everywhere.
This is a beautiful butterfly, there are not so many butterfly moments with me.
The birds fascinate me again. So long beak and the colors of the individual.
Wonderful scenes.
I wish you a happy weekend, hugs Elke

Scarlet Tanager has been my nemesis this year. i have yet to see one. And quite soon the brilliant males will all look like females.
Love the couple of adorable bluebirds just taking everything in around them!

The Bluebirds look so lovely sat side-by-side. How lucky you are Eileen to have those beauties every day. And the butterfly is simply superb - what a gorgeous combination of colours. Enjoy your weekend and many thanks for the link up today.
Hello Brian,
We are lucky to have the Tanagers breeding in the local forest.
Thanks for the comment and link. Have a great weekend!
WoW eileen, some really amazing critters this week. i really enjoyed seeing the bluebirds, lucky you, and the butterfly also. i have never hosted either of those in my yard!! boo hoo!! the scarlet tanager is stunning, what a beautiful picture with the blue sky!!!
it's going to be a hot few days coming up, hot and humid. i have prepared myself with yard and a new knitting pattern...and a few magazines. these are going to be indoor days for sure!! have a great weekend and many thanks for hosting!!!
Fantastic photos.
The bluebirds are the best! I only have a couple of photos of them. My nest box didn't 'take!'
Next year!
Thanks for hosting. I love seeing the critters.
Splendid color and pattern in butterfly photo. Love those bluebirds. Although we have hummingbirds in the inter, we get only fleeting encounters with tanagers during migration. Nice to have them all breeding in your neighborhood!
We see the Gulf Frittilary here but look at this fancy one! How pretty! Love the cute blues and the Tanager of course. What beautiful birds we have in God's creation! Happy weekend!
Happy Saturday...The Scarlet Tanager shot is gorgeous! The blue birds are winding down their season now here they have young one all over the place...so cute too. We get a lot more butterfly here in Fall as we have more wild flowers in fall than spring here...so I expect to see many I wish we had more milkweed, the roadside mowing is not a good thing as that is a great place for milkweed to thrive.
I think this may be the most beautiful fritillary butterfly I have ever seen. We have a lot of them here but nothing like this one absolutely stunning
The bluebird love birds are a sweet pair.
Wonderful photos!
Lovely shots, Eileen. I do like those bluebirds especially!
PS: And thank you for hosting! Have a great new week.
Eileen ~ what a treasure trove of feathered friends and awesome photos ~ thanks ~ ^_^
Live the moment with love
Blue birds are always a popular visitor.
Love it
Lovely, lovely critters, Eileen. The butterfly is especially fascinating with all the colors. :)
xoxo
How nice to have a pair of Bluebirds pose for you! Love them all.

Hi Eileen, I love all four of your photos today. I especially appreciate the hummer since I recently put up a hummer feeder and have already learned that it isn't easy to get a good shot of those little birds. Congrats on that shot. Also, the bluebirds ... what a sweet photo! Thanks for sharing your photography. Thanks also for your kind comments on my blog. Have a happy Saturday! John
Those bluebirds make me smile. Would love to see a tanager near our backyard. Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
the colors are spectacular! I like Mr and Mrs bluebird best though...
As always beautiful birds in your yard and environment.
Very nice. I love the butterfly !!
Oh that tanager sure is a beauty!!!
Hi Eileen, what a tiny bird the hummingbird is. I love the Scarlet Tanager. And the blue birds are beautiful too. Thanks for hosting this meme. Even though I am unable to go walking, I am enjoying images from my archives and decided to share them. Be safe and have a great day. Jo
Hummingbirds are my favorites. I love your blue birds and the scarlet tanager is spectacular (we only have the western tanager and I can't recall seeing many of those). And what a beautiful butterfly! Your photos are all treats.
You certainly get some special birds!
Beautiful! You shared some terrific birds today Eileen!
Thanks so much for coming by I'd Rather B Birdin this week and linking in!
Beautiful images, but, I love the Scarlet Tanager, he looks so aesthetically.
Wow ! I love these great photos !!!

A scarlet Tananger...I have never seen one! Awesome as is that butterfly. How we love it all!
Excellent capture on the birds and butterfly collecting nectar. The bluebirds and scarlet tanager is outstanding!
Take care
What a stunning butterfly -- and beautifully photographed with such detail. Happy week!
Gorgeous!! Wish we would see scarlet tanagers here. And we only see bluebirds rarely. You have some lovely creatures nearby!
How lovely to see these birds and butterfly from your dining room window.
Great photographs.
Have a Happy Sunday and a good new week.
All the best Jan
Maravilla de aves Eileeen. Son preciosos.
Te deseo buena noche. Cuidaros mucho.
Un abrazo
A fun set of photos! We're not seeing any butterflies, swallowtails, etc., here - And I'm not the only one who has noticed. I'm glad that you're at least seeing at least one variety and I hope they have friends!
Wow - how very gorgeous!
Good morning Eileen, thanks for still allowing me to post I am seriously late, but had it ready just didn't have time to comment on other posts it was a busy weekend. Have I said lately how wonderful it is that you offer this fun posting for us, and that you enrich my critter knowledge as well as other posts. Enjoy your week!
