I have had a lot of time on my hands since Covid started, some of this time is spent feeding and watching my yard birds. I hope you never get tired of seeing my birds.
1. The cute Carolina Chickadee is a daily visitor. They love the sunflower seeds.

2. I see a few of the Tufted Titmouse at my feeders, they are pretty birds.
3. The Red-bellied Woodpeckers can be seen coming and going to my feeders. They love the little suet balls and the peanuts.
4. The Dark-eyed Juncos are usually eating off the ground but sometimes I catch them at my feeders.
5. Below is a Dark-eyed Junco in the back and up front on the feeder is a White-breasted Nuthatch.
6. The Pileated Woodpecker does not come to the feeders but I do see it at the pile of wood in the back part of our yard.

Hi Eileen, Sure enjoyed all your photos. The Red-bellied Woodpecker is a great shot. Linking up with you today. I thought you might enjoy my picture of all the American Robins in the tree in my front yard. They were there long enough for me to grab the camera and capture the shot. Thanks for hosting and sharing Saturday's Critters #369. John
Your photos look beautiful. The birds in your yard are really exciting, especially the woodpeckers.

I used to love sunflower seeds too and spend a lot of time cracking the seeds. The woodpecker seems to be more interested in the pile of wood than the seeds. Bird watching is good for relaxation.
Beautiful pictures of these nice birds
I always enjoy seeing your garden birds and photos of them. Sush a lovely variety you have coming there and I know you look after them so well with all your feeders. Thanks for hosting, stay safe and have a wonderful weekened
Beautiful birds.
Thanks for hosting.
Hello Eileen, woodpecker is so cute!
Happy New Year to you and your family. All the best!
Fantastic photos, Eileen! I'm picking the Chickadee as my favorite, it is an elegant little bird.

Hi Eileen,
What a beautiful blog with beautiful photos.
You don't see all these species in the Netherlands, I love the woodpeckers.
Would you like to post my link, it will not work for me.
I wish you a nice weekend.
Greetings Irma
Hello Eileen,
The birds are so pretty. The Carolina Chickadee is very cute.
Happy Weekend, and take care!
Wonderful post, Eileen!
The little birds always need protection and you take very good care of them!
Have a great weekend!
Beautiful photos as always, Eileen. I love those woodpeckers, nice captures.
Enjoy your weekend.
Thanks Dee! I am glad you are seeing more birds, some people are seeing less.I guess it depends on your area.Take care, have a happy weekend!
Hi Eileen, don´t worry, at elast I will not be tired of them.
The Carolina Chickadee and the Titmouse are so adorable, I wish we had them. And your woodpeckers are so interesting. Last two years I have only seen one species of woodpecker around in my area. Earlier there was two. :(
Take care! Wishing you a great week.
Hello Eileen,
These pictures are so nice. Fantastic to have these beautiful birds in your own garden.
That woodpecker is so very nice. I love it.
Greetings, Marco
Backyard bird feeders provide not only fine entertainment, but an opportunity to learn much about bird behaviour.
Very pretty birds.
Thank you Marco!

Thank you Monica!
I am lucky to see so many species of woodpeckers in my yard.
Take care, enjoy your weekend!
Thank you for hosting, Eileen!
Hello Eileen. And the answer to your question is "No". I do not tire of seeing your garden birds. In these deeply depressing times to see your colourful birds is great. You are to be congratulated for keeping those feeders topped up. As you know, I would live to see a Pileated Woodpecker. I wonder if there is somewhere in your garden to hide out of sight so as to get really close to the Pileateds? I would be trying that should I be so lucky as to see them regularly.
Have a great weekend.
Wow, Carolina Chickadee's photos are so charming !.
You managed to capture the moment beautifully.
I salute your camera shots.
Have a good weekend, Eileen.
...the woodpeckers are among my favorites. Thanks Eileen for hosting.
Hello Eileen,:=) Happy New Year! It's taken me a while to get here, I'm a bit slower than I used to be! The lovely Woodpeckers make me jealous, I haven't seen a Woodpecker in my garden for ages. Delightful captures of the Sweet Chickadee, and Tufted Tit Mouse, They are dear little birds. Superb photography throughout your post Eileen. I have missed seeing your posts.
Eileen I can't join in your critter post just yet, but will do so eventually. Have a nice weekend.
Thanks Nick!
Such a wide variety of birds, even just on this continent! The pileated is impressive, but the wee ones precious!
Thanks for hosting!
Thank You David!

What beautiful captures of all the sweet little birds!
Thank you Martha!
Have a great weekend!
I love your birds Eileen! :) That Pileated Woodpecker is a beauty. I love how your chickadee is looking at you! :) Peanuts? Interesting, I've never thought about peanuts for the birds. I used to feed the squirrels peanuts, maybe I'll add that to next month's shopping list! So far all we have are chickadees in our back yard!
It really is nice to have bird feeders to enjoy while we are home so much. We don't see the little Juncos here but they are always a favorite. Love your pretty birds. Happy weekend!
Fantastic photos from your birdfeeder! Have a great weekend Eileen :)
I am always amazed of the beautiful birds that come to your feeding places, dear Eileen! I am particularly impressed by the pretty woodpeckers.
Thank you for your lovely, caring words on my blog!
All the best for 2021 🍀
and best wishes, Traude

Great to see two woodpeckers...as well as the littler ones who you feed through the winter. Thanks for comments on my blog. Have a great weekend!
i see just as many titmouse birds as i do chickadees this time of year, a constant parade. the juncos have not shown up here yet, and i don't remember if i saw them last year!! i enjoyed see the pleated woodpecker, i do not see them at my feeders at all!!
beautiful images today eileen. have a great weekend and many thanks for hosting!!
Great yard birds to share your home with. Today it is clear and sunny I hope to get out and enjoy nature thanks for the inspiring photos. Have a great weekend.

always a joy - the woodpecker is certainly a dandy!!! YAM xx
They are soooo cute! I need to really put out bird food, we had snow! Eeeek.
You get such a lovely variety of birds. The titmouse is adorable. I never see them though I have see the other birds. I am getting starling, jays and crows and one flicker.
Love the woodpecker shots!
You take beautiful macro shots of our 'feathered friends' ~ love them all ^_^

Wow gorgeous images of all the fun birds and feeders. I miss not being able to hang my feeders but we have a very persistent large male black bear that destroyed them last year.
Hugs Diane

I love the feeder, it is a fast food feeders the varied of birds, my favourite is the Pileated Woodpecker, beautiful.
Wonderful sightings. I'm wishing I'd washed my windows better before winter!
How thrilling to see the Pileated Woodpecker, Eileen! It is always nice to hear the Chickadees up in the trees even if you can't see them.
Hello,
what a nice series also today! I am undecided about which one I prefer...Titmouse or Woodpecker with punk crest?
LOL!
I wish you a great Sunday! Stay well.
Lovely shots. We have the red breasted Nuthatch here and it is one of my favorite birds to watch.
Take care
MB
Wonderful detailed views of great yard birds!
Hi Eileen! I love visiting your blog, and I always love the photos of the birds - This is a really nice series, especially because it includes that illusive Pileated Woodpecker!
Love the little chickadees - such cute little birds.
Wonderful captures!
Looks like we are seeing the same birds. I haven't spotted the pileated woodpecker yet this year but I've heard his call.
Love 'em all, of course. In particular the pileated...envious of THAT one most of all.
Thanks, as always, your sharing with us birders at IRBB.

You have such an amazing variety of birds visiting your yard - I am sure they all appreciate the food you have provided for them. Your photos are awesome :)
I've never seen one of my juncos on a feeder, I'm going to have to pay closer attention to see if I'm missing that. And the pileated woodpecker photos are great, it's one of the birds I really hope I get a chance to see in person some day. Hope you've had a wonderful weekend.
Hello Eileen, I'm a bit late as this is my working weekend, but I've got my critters (family pups) to boast their cuteness! Your sweet birds are busy enjoying their surroundings and making us smile! Have a great week!
