Welcome to Saturday's Critters!
Happy Saturday! Have a great weekend!
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!
Most days I am found watching my yard birds. I usually see a nice variety of birds in my yard. On this day I watched a Carolina Wren, a House Wren and a Woodpecker spread out on the deck railing.
A Downy Woodpecker looks like a young one begging for food. It was spread out on the railing like it was airing out it's wings.
The House Wren seems to have taken over a few of my birdhouses, they chase away any bird that comes close. to "their" home.
The Carolina Wren stops by the feeders and deck for a snack.
A Brown Thrasher made an appearance on this day, sat on the deck railing looking around..
We try to take early morning walks on the local fire road. We've had a streak of hot humid days, it is best to get out early. On this day I watched 3-4 Worm-eating Warblers. I managed to catch 2 of the Worm-eating Warblers in the same tree. The other 2 warblers kept moving around the same area. Their sound or song is one I have become familiar with over the years. They have black and buffy head stripes and they are a small bird 4 1/2 - 5 inches long.

Tomorrow in the morning the air is different, for me it is still pretty cool on the coast due to the wind. It was exciting again with the young bird who is a false woodpecker but looks like this. These are all beautiful scenes.
I wish you and your husband a nice weekend, hugs Elke
Great captures of pretty birds visiting your yard. I have some birds visiting my small garden but they are too fast and flew off before I could take any decent picture of them. Have a beautiful weekend and stay safe.
Your birds are very individualized today. What personality!
be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Beautiful pics.
Have a nice weekend.
I love these birds, E!
Absolutely beautiful birds!
It's nice that they visit your yard!
Happy weekend :)
Hello Eileen. Fantastic photos of wonderful birds. I enjoy all these photos. Thank you for sharing.
You seem to have a lot of different birds come to your garden Eileen and I love seeing them all. Thanks for hosting, stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.
Hello Eileen,
These are beautiful photos and collage.
Photos 1 and 4 are my favorite.
Would you like to post my link, I can't do that.
Have a nice weekend.
Best regards Irma
Enjoyed all your photos. The House Wren is my favorite but the little Woodpecker is a close second. :-) Thanks for sharing and hosting. Have a happy weekend!
Hello Eileen!
Great series of pictures ! I have never see a Brown Thrasher before! Great shot!
Like the House Wren,it's a naughty bird ha ha! Poor little Downy Woodpecker,it couldn’t fly Eileen?
Have a happy day and a lovely weekend! Stay safe! Take care!
Dimi...
wow, you have two kinds of wrens? How wonderful. We have one, Winter wren, and rarely seen. But I happened to see one yesterday, the first one in 4 months. :)
Downy Woodpecker really seem to be too hot. Great shots of it. I like when it is "action" shots of their daily life.
We don´t have the hot humid weather over here it is either hot or cold. With some showers now and then.
Take care!
Hello Eileen,
Beautiful photos of your yardbirds!
The Downy Woodpecker is so pretty.
Have a nice weekend!
Beautiful photos, Eileen. The birds are very nice to see. Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful day.
...I love the Downy Woodpecker! Thanks for hosting, have a fabulous weekend.
You have a wonderful selection of birds so close, Eileen. Worm-eating Warbler is an extreme rarity this far north. I have seen more of this species in Central America during our winter months than I have ever seen in North America,
Eileen, I just had cataract surgery, It's tough reading right now. Thanks for hosting.
I just cannot visit too much! I thought I'd check in, though.
Have a great one!
the Downy Woodpecker seems to have struck an unusual pose their Eileen. I'm sure you are correct, it appears to be a young bird and quite unsure of itself. It needs to be careful of predators sitting around like that. Your Huse Wren looks so much like our common Wren - Troglodytes troglodytes, but I know they are a little different. Thanks for the linky today and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
I had a tap-tap-tap on my tiny balcony in this apartment building this morning. Then a humming bird came to the feeder, but I still heard definite woodpecking going on. And so I stood at the door and saw a flicker going for breakfast in the post of the overhang...then he flew to the next balcony to do the same. Since we often have wood bees and other insects in these posts, I think he had a good idea. Then he was off to find another source.
Great photo of the young Downy! We have several pairs, but I've never seen a youngster. Love the wren!
Que lindas fotos!Adorei ver e aqui sempre belos exemplares. Gosto muito!" bjs, chica e lindo fim de semana!
we have had the same weather and we have not been able to ride our bikes. (we bike, you walk, you do have to get out early)
this is a nice variety of birds, the brown thrasher looks like a cool bird, one i am not familiar with! and those house wrens, "squatters" for sure!! the woodpecker looks injured, i have never seen one "lay" like that!!
have an awesome weekend eileen, and many thanks for hosting!!!

Thank you Marit! Have a great weekend!

Thanks David. I do live close to a bird hot spot, at least that is what I heard.
Happy birding, enjoy your weekend!
Thanks Jenn! I wish you a speedy recovery! Take care!
Hello Phil,
The birds seem to like sunning themselves on the deck railing, I have seen different birds posing the same way. The wren is a cutie! Thank you! Have a great day and a happy weekend!
Nice yard birds! Those House Wrens can be very territorial. I hope you send those Worm-eating Warblers down our way this fall. I do not see them every year but they are one of my favorites. Never heard them sing.
Hello Barbara,
I see the Flicker here more in the winter. We hearing them tapping on the nearby trees, never the house.
Thank you for visiting and for the comment! Have a great day and a happy weekend!
Thank you Brian! Have a great day and a happy weekend!
Thank you Chica! Have a great day and a happy weekend!
Hi Debbie,
I do like the cooler weather for walking, these days of hot humid weather feel awful. The woodie was fine, just sunning on the railing. Thank you for the comment! Have a great day and a happy weekend!
I'm always amazed to see the photos here ... beautiful birds love to stop by near your house. I would love to see a Woodpecker bird
You've got some pretty yard birds. Thanks for hosting, and have a great weekend!
The baby downy looks so helpless. Other than the Downy, I haven’t seen these birds. Thank you for sharing.
I love the mosaic you made with the Wren photos. That's the wren we have here...they are so vocal and cute! Enjoy your walks. I wish I could go more often. Happy weekend!
I have never seen a worm-eating warbler but I have seen gulls and black birds fighting each other over earthworms
So lovely to have these birds as regular visitors to your garden, Eileen!
I love this time of year, seeing all the fledgling, and your woodpecker is so darned sweet. Each and every photo is priceless. Got Hurricane Hanna knocking on our doorstep...want to visit everyone I can before we lose power (that's a certainty!)
Fine looking birds in your Critters post...this time of year a lot of the birds are looking a little bit weird, I had a young downy in the dogwood by the window laying on a limb in that same fashion, I think he just got tired and decided to take himself a rest. Hope your weekend is a good one.
PS: Thanks for hosting, Eileen. Have a great new week and stay safe!
A great collection today. The house wrens are definitely bullies. Our young ones flew the coop; the RG cleared out the box but mom and dad are still noisily guarding the abode daily. Happy day.
The downy woodpecker looks hot. Love the wrens. We have a Carolina wren nesting on our front porch. Very loud, but fun to watch. Happy Saturday!
Wonderful macro shots of our 'feathered friends' ~ favorite is the little downy woodpecker ~ ^_^
Live each moment with love,

aka (A Creative Harbor)
I adore the colours of the Brown Thrasher and their lovely tails. Each in their own way are beauties, of course.
The Warblers looks cute even when the picture isn't clear.. Lovely capture from your yard and I hope u stay safe as well.
Have a nice weekend
Hi Eileen!!!... very nice pictures of these beautiful birds... Happy Saturday
Love those head stripes! The Downy Woodpecker is very cool, too. This time of year early walks are the best!
Excellent pictures. Love watching the babies---always humorous

I love the little Carolina Wren! Thanks for hosting.
I love the wee wrens, Eileen! Thanks for hosting us!
I didnt link any critters but I blogged today about eagles. Must be in the air.
I have never seen a Downy in that position before. Now our squirrels, lol! Sounds like your House Wren has the heart of a lion :) I always enjoy your photos Eileen, thank you and have a great weekend!
Hello Eileen, thanks for allowing us to post even really super late! Today I'm posting super early for me. Your sweet tweeting bird friends are so enjoyable! I have several friendly wrens that don't seemed bothered by me, which just maybe I'll catch a cool photo too! Enjoy your weekend stay safe and cool! It's an excessive heat warning in place for us, but it won't last long. It's Minnesota.
Wrens are absolutely lovely birds. Little and brisk.
A nice company to watch.
Have a nice sunny and serene Sunday, Eileen!
Excellent photos. Especially the downy woodpecker!!!
That baby downy is awfully cute, even though he doesn't appear to have any eyes. What fun here today! I love your Wren.
Very nice !
Those blooming Wrens do the same thing here, Eileen!! They always try to chase all the other birds interested in using the nesting boxes away. The are cute but so darn noisy, aren't they?...:)jp
Those wrens are so cute. And that woodpecker looks like another demanding youngster, waiting...
I would love to have some Carolina wrens come here and stay. Love them so much.
hope, everything goes well with little woodpecker....
Have a wonderful day
Love your little downy! I've seen birds do that too.
I love the Brown Thrasher, beautiful.

Short Sweet And Cute - Perfect Little Post
Cheers
Hurricane Hanna. ...I think it's over. Power went out yesterday about 1 pm...didn't get any A.C. until it was restored about 9 this morning. High winds, sporadic heavy rain, and last night tornadoes all over the area. No damage for us except lots of small branches.
Thanks for stopping by and linking up this weekend. Bud & I have a bit of clean-up to do, so my visit is short.
Hello Anni,
I am glad you survived the storm, not too much damage. Take care!
Wonderful photos! I especially enjoyed seeing the house wren. Haven't seen one in quite a while, used to see them quite often. Now, I only see Carolina wrens it seems. Happy Sunday!
Thank you, have a great new week!
Thank you Jean! The wrens are cute, I like both the Carolina and the House Wrens.
Have a great day and a happy new week!
So lovely to see all of your beautiful birds, great photographs.
Enjoy the new week ahead.
All the best Jan
The little Downy is so sweet... how nice of him to take his sunbath where you could get a good picture ! I can’t seem to get outside early in the morning any more , I know that’s why I miss seeing birds.
i tell you about my toad ...or frog ...which ever ... he/she is really picking on me ... came into the garage and i did try to get him out. no issue picking them up if they will allow that. but he didn't want that ... so all night i heard him jumping around down there. but then i think he finally got out when i had the door open for a while. i see he likes the area where we keep our recycle and trash cans ... he gets bugs ... it is so so funny!! have a cool AC kind of week. ( :
Aww - so pretty!
