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 away from my computer, I will be visiting and commenting as soon as I can. Thank you for participating and for all your comments.
1. This one of two bunnies that I always see in our yard. The White-throated Sparrow is one of my winter birds, still being seen.
2.
3. Not the best photos of the Eastern Phoebe, taken from my kitchen window. I am seeing some spring birds moving in even though my winter birds have not left.
4. Our walk on our local fire road, we met a new neighbor with her three cute dogs. They were friendly dogs and seemed happy to meet us too.
5. Another day our walk was to the lake, we saw a few Canada Geese and two Double-crested Cormorants.
6. A view of the Prettyboy reservoir, the trees were starting to see signs of spring. The buds are a red color.
7. A closer look at the Double-crested Cormorants.
8. A Canada Geese looks to be sitting on a nest next to the water.
9. Sometimes I am lucky capturing birds in my yard and on my deck. On this day I saw both the Downy Woodpecker and the Hairy Woodpecker stop for some of the nuggets I put out on the deck railing. The photos shows the size difference between the two different woodpeckers. The Hairy Woodpecker is much larger. The Downy Woodpecker is about 6 1/2 inches compare it to the Hairy Woodpecker is 9 inches.
Another puzzle completed, looks like a scene from an African safari.
I am linking up to Heidrun's Mosaic Monday I hope you can stop by and visit Heidrun and check out the Mosaic Monday post.

Your garden birds are very photogenic -- also the bunny. I see bunnies but I never know how many as they all look alike to me. They love eating the new shoots of the hostas, and we don't know why, as there are rabbits everywhere and they don't eat the hostas in the neighbors' gardens.
Thanks for hosting the critter weekend.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Have never seen any double-crested cormorant here..cute sparrows!
Good Morning, dear Eileen. Seeing some animals from the own window is such a lovely thing. The hare in your garden is an example and of course the different birds.
We have each day, sometime twice times ;-) visit of neighbours cats. It's always a pleasure.
Thank you for sharing your fine Post again. Wish you a wonderful week, hugs by Heidrun
This is so pleasant and companionable Eileen. I enjoyed meeting the bunnies and all of the animals and also the dogs. Have a beautiful weekend my friend! Aloha
I do like seeing photos from your walk. So sweet that you have two bunnies in your yard. Eastern Phoebe is so cute and beautiful. Have a wonderful weekend.

Dear Eileen,
I'll get back to you a little later!
All the best, Traude

Lovely critters and I love the bunny. Nice to see the Woodpeckers too.
Have a good time and happy weekend!
Hello Eileen,
The woodpeckers are so beautiful. I like them a lot. Your puzzles are always so nice to see.
Take care, and enjoy your weekend!
Hello Eileen,
Beautiful series of photos from your walk around the lake.
The White-throated Sparrow is my favorite.
I wish you a good weekend.
Greetings Irma
The chickadee and the dogs are most lovely among the shots. Have a great weekend!
Always fun to see a bunny rabbit! I like the Cormorants, and seeing the two Woodpeckers together is special!
Have a blessed day!
You've two bunnies as well! Soon we'll have more. We've two groundhogs.
The phoebes are nesting here.
Lindas fotos e que amor o coelhinho!
Tuas fotos, seja onde forem clicadas, sempre agradam!
Beijos, aproveita bem os passeios! chica
I hope you are enjoying your time away and seeing lots of wildlife. All the best - David
A lovely collection of shots, Eileen. Thank you for hosting and have a good week. (Nick MAP)
That is pretty cool having two different woodpeckers in the same image. We see downy woodpeckers here in our backyard but I don't recall a hairy woodpecker.
Thank you for hosting!!
Dear Eileen,
now I was able to take some time to look at your post in more detail. Wonderful, the bird visits in your yard - I'm particularly pleased that you were able to photograph two different woodpeckers at the same time. The sightings in the Prettyboy reservoir are also very nice - it's good that there are new offspring of Canada geese. The three dogs from the neighborhood also seem like very pleasant encounters.
Your latest puzzle is very pretty, too. From our experiences on our African safaris, I can tell you that you will never see such scenes in person. The cheetahs avoid being near lions, especially when they have cubs, and when the elephants come to the waterhole, all the other animals flee because elephants need so much space and splash so much ;-DDD. But as a picture it is beautiful!
I hope you're having a good time wherever you are!
All the best, Traude

What splendid photos today, Eileen. I just love those rabbits and that's a handsome one! Have a great weekend.
Loved seeing that Canada Goose on it's nest next to the water. Happy Saturday to you!
Great captures! I haven’t seen cormorants in a while since our favourite viewing area closed due to erosion. Thank you for sharing them.
I've been thinking about you, and do hope all is well...since comments and replies aren't coming up as usual.
...Eileen, you have a wonderful collection. This week I've also seen nesting Canada geese, we should have a bumper crop this year.
Hari OM
My word, you have some fantastic puzzles! And lots of lovely birds, too... YAM xx
Enjoy your time away! Love the birds that visit you right in your own yard. Sweet!
Hello Eileen :=)
I always love the views of Pretty Boy Lake, and the wildlife you see. The Canada geese and the Double Crested Cormorants are good sightings but your yard visitors are also lovely. The White-throated Sparrow, and the Downy Woodpecker and Hairy Woodpecker seen together are fabulous, especially since you can see the difference in sizes. Nice bunny shot too!
All the best Eileen and thank you for hosting.
Sonjia.
a great selection today eileen. i am still seeing the white throated sparrow and the yellow rumped warbler, they are winter birds for me. how kind of the woodpeckers to sit side by side, they have such a similar appearance!! that's a beautiful puzzle, with a lot of similar colors - it must have been difficult!! i hope you are out somewhere having fun, many thanks for hosting!!
today you have it all. Bunnies, Birds, Dogs, WOODS, nothing better than all of these
Just loved the post and great series of pics. Birds looks amazing. African safari puzzle great.
Happy Weekend. Thanks a lot for hosting :)
I would love hiking on the fire road! And how neat to see the geese nesting. Love all woodpeckers too. Enjoy your vacation! Have FUN...take pics! heehee!
I love to see the three dogs. They are so nice!
I love the little Sparrow all puffed up, Eileen. I hope that you are enjoying yourself somewhere!
Oh my goodness hello Eileen I thought I was early for a change and boom still in the 30's! You have such a great following as you deserve with such great nature photos to brighten our day. Lovely tall walk of trees that I can see are getting ready to show off their leaves! Life, and all of nature around us is such a wonderful thing. Enjoy your weekend and week ahead.
Look at those dogs!! ♥♥♥ The bunny is super cute!
The bunny and your puzzle are my favs - hope you had a great time out? Happy Weekend!
Hi Eileen! So many wonderful birds in your post --the reservoir is an abundant place for nature! Have a wonderful week ahead and a happy new month of May!
Fun to see your wildlife and those cute dogs! The bunny was adorable and nice to see your white-throated sparrows. We have had a chipping sparrow visit lately. I'm hoping he will bring his family. I'm happy you are sharing your puzzles also. Being a lover of jigsaw puzzles I have fun seeing what others are out there. Thank you Eileen and have a great rest of the weekend.
I wish some eastern phoebes would come to my perches. So sweet!
Sounds like a lovely week! Enjoy your visit!
Elaine in the next few days if I find time I will come back and take part in the challenge.
Have a good Sunday!
Hello Eileen,
Nice pictures.
Wonderful to see all different birds. That sparrow is really fantastic. And what a wonderful woodpeckers. Very nice!!
Funny picture of the wildlife puzzle which is completely finished.
Many greetings,
Marco
The bunnies have been crazy everywhere. You cannot step outside our house without seeing at least 6. Love this time of year when the geese are on the nest, makes for some great photographs. As they do in a few weeks when the goslings are all lined up in a row!
What an amazing assortment of critters, Eileen!
It must have been enjoyable meeting the new neighbor with her trio of dogs.
My favorite is the close-up of the Double-crested Cormorants.
And the puzzle is a delightful addition too.
Happy Sunday!
Oh, you have visiting bunnies! How lovely, how lively. :)
I love seeing cormorants, since I have seen so few in my life. There are bunnies here, but I am not sure how many. We had adventures with squirrels yesterday...told about it on the blog. But my daughter more or less saved two. Both from Copper and from drowning.
I am still on a jigsaw puzzle kick...I try to not work so much on one that I finish it too quick. But it is hard not to work on it every spare moment.
Hello Eileen
I hope you are enjoying your time away from the computer.
I enjoyed seeing all of your photographs.
How nice to see your new neighbour with her three dogs while out walking.
Enjoy these last few days of April, the month has whizzed by!
All the best Jan
Lovely photos as always.
long time we didn't see Eastern Phoebe...cute.
Thank you for sharing beautiful photos.
It's nesting season for sure. Thank you for sharing your lovely pictures.
Beautiful images Eileen.
