Saturday's Critters # 621

  Welcome to Saturday's Critters! Hello and Happy Saturday!


 If you love all God's creatures like I do and also like to blog about them and take critter photos this is where you can share your critter post. 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!


As usual I am still behind sharing photos.  I am sharing a variety of photos. They are from my walks with Miney, our back yard birds and fire road walks.


"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." John Muir




Click on images for better viewing.



1. I wish the hummingbirds were still here, but these photos are Sept 13th. I was looking out for my Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. I like to record the last back yard sighting of the hummers. My last hummingbird sighting was Sept 29th. 




Same day I am looking for the fall time warblers arriving in my back yard.  They do love the berries on the Devil's Walking Stick plant. Below is the Tennessee Warbler. 




Again the same day, below is the Cape May Warbler. It is one of the more common warblers I have been seeing at the berries.  





2. Sept 14th, my walk with Miney on the local fire road.  




The Cape May Warblers continue to be seen eating the berries.





It's not often we see a colorful sunset but this day ended quite colorful. 






3. Sept 15th, a quick walk with Miney.  







4. Sept 17th, the Peacock is sitting on top of our swing. 







5. Sept 18th, we leave early in the morning for hubby's Dialysis treatment on this morning I heard a Screech Owl calling near the end of our driveway. Later in the day I notice the the Hummingbird sitting on a metal butterfly near the feeder. 








Sept 19, a walk with Miney to the lake, a few trees looking colorful.  










7. I am sharing flashback photos of past year backyard Warblers.  Below is the Black-throated Blue Warbler, it is another warbler that loves the berries. I saw this bird this year outside my den window. 




Below is the Fall Black-throated Green Warbler.




Below is the Nashville Warbler from my archives of backyard warblers.








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.

Those warbler photos are fantastic! It's amazing to see the Tennessee and Cape May Warblers. And that sunset shot is stunning.

In Chinese tradition, the peacock’s open tail fans out like a promise of blessings — a vision of prosperity, dignity, and the hope of a flourishing future.

Good morning, dear Blogfriend Eileen. I'm late this day. Dark autumn, and we are sleeping longer...

. .in the backyard watching hummingbirds must be fascinating. On the other, the walk with Minnie in this lovely nature. I'm sitting and view in our garden, with colored leaves.
Thank you for sharing and for hosting, ❤️ Heidrun

Mae Travels said...

It’s sad that the hummingbirds have left for the season. I’m not sure when they left us here in Michigan, but I hope they have made it to their very distant winter life. Such a long way to fly when you only weigh a few grams!
best… mae

Those bird pics you got are beautiful!

Marit said...

Hello Eileen,
You are so lucky to have hummingbirds in your yard. They are so cute, and I wish they were here too. It must be exciting to have a peacock visiting your yard. Take care, and have a nice day and weekend!

roentare said...

The birds are great sights in your stroll

Irma said...

Hi Eileen,
Great series of photos from your walk with Miney.
The hummingbirds, the autumn black-throated green warbler, and the sunset are my favorites.
I wish you a wonderful weekend.
Greetings Irma

Hello, Hope you are doing well. Beautiful post. Awesome series of photos. Miney's walk loved it. Hummingbirds, Warblers truly amazing. Glad to see Peacock . Sky pic superb. Happy weekend, Thanks a lot for hosting.

Rostrose said...

Dear Eileen, I'm always delighted when I have the opportunity to see hummingbirds (which, unfortunately, isn't possible in the wild here in Europe). But this September, I was fortunate enough to have the chance to see these lovely little feathered creatures again 😊. Our trip is now over, and we arrived home the evening before last. My current post, however, was written before we left Austria. Unfortunately, there aren't any "real" animals in it, but some paintings...
Very pretty all your bird-sightings and Miney ist cute as allways 💚
All the best from Austria
Traude

Lovely shots, Eileen! Thanks for hosting and have a good week.

Linda said...

How lovely to hear the owl, hope things are going well for your husband. Love seeing the various warblers. And you have a peacock visiting, only seen them out west roaming the grounds of one of the universities. Have a lovely weekend.

Tom said...

...Eileen, the berries on the Devil's Walking Stick are a bird magnet! Thanks for hosting and I wish you a wonderful new week.

Jim and Barb's Adventures said...

I have never heard of the Tennessee Walkingstick plant. It does look like the birds would love it!

Jenn Jilks said...

You find lovely birds! Happy to see them virtually.
Take care with the appointments.

magiceye said...

Humming bird on a song!
Have a super weekend!

Aritha V. said...

Oh, what a joy to scroll through your post again!
Please never worry about being “behind” — it’s such a gift to see these little moments whenever you share them. Those tiny warblers with their bright colors feel almost magical to me. We don’t have these beauties here in the Netherlands, so I soak up every feather and berry you capture!

And your sunset photo… truly lovely. A quiet, golden moment at the end of the day. ✨

Thank you so much for hosting Saturday’s Critters — it’s always a highlight.
Wishing you a peaceful weekend! 🐦💛
