This is a mish-mash of critters and birds seen during our walks in my backyard, on the local fire roads and on the NCR bike trail.
Outside my front window, the Cardinal and Carolina Wren are taking turns checking out their window reflections.
Back in our yard, I was watching two Pileated Woodpeckers flying from tree to tree, pecking away.
Not a critter but this is one of my latest puzzle finished. There are a few gulls flying in this canal city scene.

Hello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful series of photos.
I think the Cardinal and Carolina Wren are really beautifully photographed.
I also think the two Spotted Woodpeckers and the Blue Jays are beautiful.
The puzzle is very beautiful, you have to have a lot of patience for this, I really don't have that for this kind of thing, I can wait for hours to photograph the birds.
I wish you happy Easter.

Hi Eileen. I was happy to see a couple of Canada Geese the other day. Sadly they were too far out on the lake so, no pics. Wishing you a Happy Easter.

The ducks and geese tend to move across the lake when we see them here.
Take care, have a happy Easter weekend.
The Cardinal is the most beautiful bird!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love to see the woodpecker, too! Really, I only heard him here, hidden in the tree.
Wishing you a Happy Easter!

The cardinal really stands out.
ReplyDeleteThank you William, for your comment and your visit.

Lovely assemblage of birds, Eileen, beginning with the delightful Northern Cardinal and Carolina Wren at the window. In the picture where you focus on the Gadwall at the centre, take a second look. They are all Gadwalls, males and females. An appealing, elegant duck. All the best - David
ReplyDeleteHello David,
DeleteThank you so much for your link and comment.
The center Gadwall just more more of the markings, on it's backside and the side feathers.
Take care, have a happy Easter weekend.
I've never heard of a Gadwall, but I enjoyed seeing your birds. We've a few back for spring, quite early. I hope all goes well.

ReplyDeleteThank you Red, for your comment and visit. Have a happy Easter weekend.
DeleteHello Eileen :=)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your condolences. This is a lovely post. The Cardinal and the Carolina Wren are beautiful portraits. Birds looking at themselves through the window is always fun to see. I do love those Pileated Woodpeckers, and it looks like they have made quite a few holes in your tree. Congrats on finishing yet another puzzle, they have all been beautiful, and I'm sure challenging.
All the best Eileen and a Happy Easter. to you and your family

You see so many different ducks, Eileen. I have been hearing a lot of woodpeckers this week but I'm sure they are little Downy woodpeckers making a lot of noise. Thanks for hosting us and for all your nice comments.
