A mish-mash of photos, birds and critters and our cute dog Miney.
Click on images for better viewing.
1. March 10th, I was happy to see a pair of Eastern Bluebirds visiting my bird houses. I hope to see them raising their young this season.
2. March 11th, my morning walk with Miney on the fire road. The trail is closest to my house and there are views of the reservoir.
3. March 11th, I am still seeing the pair of Eastern Bluebirds coming and going to the birdhouses.
"Your bluebird of happiness is waiting for you."
4. March 12, I am sharing my yard birds , I had a nice variety of birds like the Northern Cardinal, the Mockingbird, a Pine Warbler , the Bluebird and the Titmouse.
5. March 12th, it was a warm day in the low 70's. I was happy to see the Peacock visiting, he hasn't been seen since last fall. We were getting ready to leave to meet hubby's cousin for lunch when the Peacock started his dance in front of the car.
6. March 12th, the Red-bellied Woodpecker was able to eat some of the suet nuggets. Usually the woodpeckers are chased away by the Mockingbird.
7. March 12th, I was surprised this photo turned out ok, I wanted to get the cardinal perched but he flew off when I captured him in flight.
8. April 25th Arbor Day
Celebrate Arbor Day, plant a tree.
"He who plants a tree plants hope."
A flashback from my facebook page, from March 2016. A favorite bird is the Red-headed Woodpecker seen at the North Point State Park. I have not seen these birds since this time, they have safely moved on I hope.
A Sept 2015 flashback from the North Point SP, we saw a few Tricolored Herons, The park is more known for seeing the Little Blue Herons, it was a treat to see the Tricolored Herons.
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.

Bluebirds and peacocks what a wonderful post! It made me happy. Eileen, thank you. Aloha
The tiny agile birds are very charming to look at. Have a good weekend!
I love all the little critters in this post: the Cardinal in flight, the Bluebird, the Red-headed Woodpecker, the Red-bellied Woodpecker, the fantastic Peacock and your pretty Miney.
Let's plant trees, at least let's protect the ones we have.
Happy weekend!
Hello Eileen,
This is a beautiful series of photos.
I really like the Eastern Bluethroats and the Red-headed Woodpecker, these species do not occur in the Netherlands.
It is wonderful to have all these different types of birds in your garden.
I wish you a very good weekend.
Greetings Irma

Beautiful pictures of bluebirds and all your yard birds. LOVE the peacock picture.
Your March photos look so far ahead of what we have still not reached here in Calgary, Alberta! Slowly but surely we are receiving warmer, nicer weather and more colourful birds. From your current photos to your flashbacks, nature looks so beautiful in your piece of paradise!
I love bluebirds, along with many others.
Thanks for hosting !
Always wonderful to see the bluebirds, Eileen. It's great that you have access to all that beauty of nature around your place. Thanks for hosting and have a great new week!

Beautiful birds and impressive looking peacocks. Nice post, have a great weekend.
We've seen blue birds in our HOA green space but not in our backyard yet, nor when I have had a camera that could take a decent photo.
Your northern cardinal in flight is a wonderful capture.

The Bluebirds are a treat to see, the birds are quick to move and avoid having photos taken, lol. Take care, have a wonderful weekend.
Hi Eileen, thank you for sharing the delightful images in today’s Saturday’s Critters. The very first image of the Eastern Bluebirds … they are sweet and I do hope you’ll be able to see them raising their young this season. I may have mentioned this before … but it’s been years since I had a summer place in Montana and watched Mountain Bluebirds raise a family. I may have to go back and dig into the archives to find some photos to share … it was fascinating. Next … your shot of the Cardinal in flight … wow, what an excellent capture! Lastly … the Peacock … I can only imagine the joy of seeing that bird right there in your driveway. You know … reflecting on the creation of all things … nature really went wild with the Peacock! 😊 Again, thank you for sharing and hosting. Hope you and yours have a happy weekend and week ahead. John
Hello John,
I would love to see your Mountain Bluebird photos, it is a treat to see the whole Bluebird family. The Peacock is a beautiful bird, especially when he is displaying his feathers and dancing. He does his dance often in our yard, I believe he is protecting his food from the squirrels and other birds that come near him. Nature is grand and just amazing! Thank you for your comment and your visit.
Take care, have a wonderful weekend.
How wonderful to see the Bluebirds busy in the nesting boxes, Eileen. I love your Cardinal shot and of course the Peacock.
Thank you RedPat, for your link and your comment.
All the birds are a treat to see!
Take care, have a wonderful weekend.
Love those blue birds! One checked out our maple trees one day a few weeks back...but we have no nesting boxes.
Thank you Barb, for your link and your comment.
The Bluebirds are always a treat to see.
Take care, have a wonderful weekend.
i love those bluebirds, the one bird i can't seem to attract to my yard. beautiful flashback of the tricolored heron, and 2016's red-headed woodpecker!!! many thanks for hosting, have a great weekend!! ps, i wondered if you were able to smell the smoke from the lacy fire??
Thank you Debbie, for your link and your comment.
I do love to share my bird sightings. NO, we are too far from the wildfire here. The photos I saw on the news looked scary. I hope it is under control now. We are getting a lot of rain today. Take care, have a wonderful weekend.
Those bluebirds are making me smile -- BIG!
Thank you Jeanie, for your link and your comment.
I do love seeing the bluebirds using my nesting boxes.
Take care, have a wonderful weekend.
Those Bluebirds are among my favorite birds to see. I've built many Bluebird houses in the past.
Eileen, your photos have absolutely made my day! So wonderful to see all these beautiful birds! Two weeks ago I saw a turkey on a university campus lawn, and here in Montreal you don't see a sight like this often. Thank you so much for sharing, your posts are a source of joy and inspiration to me. Have a wonder filled weekend.
Thank you for your link and your comment.
It is a treat to have the bluebirds using my birdhouses, I am excited to see their babies.
Take care, have a wonderful weekend.

Very enjoyable post with so many of your yard birds and the beautiful Bluebirds. I hope they produce a family of bluebirds.Your flashback photos of the Redheaded Woodpecker and Tri-coloured Heron are wonderful captures, and so are the Cardinal in flight and the
dancing Peacock. What a fabulous post Eileen. My computer keeps crashing, so I gave up, and don't have anything to share this week.
