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.
Thanks to all my visitors and for your comments. Stop back to see any replies to your comments. I appreciate everyone who loves critters and has linked up their critter post.
Here is my linky:
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
ReplyDeleteThank you John! It is always nice to see you linking up your post! I did enjoy your Robins photos, they are a great yard bird. I appreciate the comment. Take care, I wish you a happy weekend!
DeleteYour photos look beautiful. The birds in your yard are really exciting, especially the woodpeckers.

Thank you Mae!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your weekend!
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.

Thank you Klara!

I have been seeing more birds this winter than the previous two winters in this house. We had two northern flickers, and a dark-eyed junco. What I haven't seen (or heard) is the jays. That is what we predominately had the past two years.
ReplyDeleteI wish we would get some of the variety you have. LOL
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!
DeleteFantastic photos, Eileen! I'm picking the Chickadee as my favorite, it is an elegant little bird.

Hi Eileen,
ReplyDeleteWhat 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
Thank you Irma!

Hello Eileen,

Happy Weekend, and take care!
Thank you Marit!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your weekend!
Wonderful post, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteThe little birds always need protection and you take very good care of them!
Have a great weekend!
Thank you Ella!
DeleteI think the birds appreciate the extra food and water in the winter months.
Take care, enjoy your weekend!
Beautiful photos as always, Eileen. I love those woodpeckers, nice captures.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
Thank you Bill!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your weekend!
Hi Eileen, don´t worry, at elast I will not be tired of them.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
Thank you Monica!
DeleteI am lucky to see so many species of woodpeckers in my yard.
Take care, enjoy your weekend!
Hello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteThese 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
Thank you Marco!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your weekend!
A wonderful series of all those lovely birds in your yard, Eileen!
DeleteThanks Nick!
DeleteBackyard bird feeders provide not only fine entertainment, but an opportunity to learn much about bird behaviour.
ReplyDeleteThank You David!

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.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Thank You Phil!
DeleteI think there is a Pileated Woodpecker nesting tree nearby, I have been trying to check it out. But, I do not want to get too close.
Take care, have a happy weekend!
Wow, Carolina Chickadee's photos are so charming !.
ReplyDeleteYou managed to capture the moment beautifully.
I salute your camera shots.
Have a good weekend, Eileen.
Thank You for the visit and comment!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
...the woodpeckers are among my favorites. Thanks Eileen for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThank You Tom!
DeleteI love my woodies too.
Take care, have a happy weekend!
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.
ReplyDeleteEileen I can't join in your critter post just yet, but will do so eventually. Have a nice weekend.
Thank You, so glad to see your comment and visit!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
Such a wide variety of birds, even just on this continent! The pileated is impressive, but the wee ones precious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
Thank You Jenn!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
What beautiful captures of all the sweet little birds!
ReplyDeleteThank you Martha!
DeleteHave 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!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rain!
DeleteYes, most of my birds love the peanuts.
Take care, enjoy your weekend!
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!
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane!
DeleteI do enjoy watching my feeder birds.
Take care, enjoy your weekend!

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.
