1. The three images below are of my Merlin Back yard birds, I included a few of my bird photos. The Baltimore Oriole, the Blue Jay and the House Wren.
2. My walk with Miney at the Prettyboy watershed. During my walk I tend to hear the same birds in the same areas.
3. Merlin Birds heard on my walk with Miney on the Prettyboy fire road. I do not hear as many birds mid-day as I do early in the morning. My daily walk with Miney on hubby's dialysis days are later.
4. My walk with Miney on the Prettyboy fire road.
The White-breasted Nuthatch is one of my year round back yard birds.
Our deck flowers are looking good, we do have to keep watering them, we keep missing rain in our area. I have Zinnias, Salvia and my favorite Lantana. The hummingbirds and butterflies love all these plants.
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 App. did pick up a lot of cute birds that I have never seen over here. Hope you are having a great weekend!
Good morning dear Blogfriend Eileen! First of all, I pray for your husband. Hope you get help and good doctors too. Best wishes.
Thank you for sharing your walk through the nature.
Greetings by Heidrun ❤️
I like the images of sky-rocking trees. They are awesome.
Stay safe; stay healthy.
Have a happy weekend.
Hello Eileen, I am so sorry to hear about your hubby. I wish you all the best since now.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos. Your flowers looks gorgeous.
Have a tranquil, restful weekend!
Your deck flowers are looking absolutely stunning! The White-breasted Nuthatch and Black-capped Chickadee photos are gorgeous as well.
You have such beautiful backyard birds. That Carolina Chickadee is very cute, and I love the White-breasted Nuthatch sweet face. Blessings!
Lantana, my Mum had that on the farm when I grew up, I can still recall the aroma of the leaves. Love the walk with your doggie.
Hello Eileen,
There are some impressive lists of birds you can hear in your area. The Blue Jay is always my favorite bird. All your flowers are also so beautiful.
Take care, and enjoy your day and weekend!
Your photos are so wonderful, and lovely flowers. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend.

Absolutely gorgeous captures, Eileen. Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a lovely weekend.
You have such a variety of birds, it´s amazing. And your flowers! The rain last night destroyed mine, I reckon, aw, well....
Have a great Saturday, Eileen!
Hello Eileen,
I hope your husband is doing better, having so many tests isn't fun.
You heard and photographed many birds again during your walks.
I wish you a lovely weekend.
All the best, Irma
Beautiful birds.

First, good wishes for your husband. A close second, what a joy to have the Oriel visit your yard - to see such bright colour must surely life the heart. All birds bring smiles, that flash of yellow is extra special! YAM xx
Hello, Hope you are doing well, Prayers for your Husband, Best wishes.
Awesome birds photos, Loved your app. So beautiful flowers. Have a great weekend. Thanks a lot for hosting.
Eileen, meus melhores desejos pra que teu marido fique bem!
Adorei as fotos e quando passeias com Miney nós vemos as belezas de pássaros, flores e cores!
beijos, tudo de bom,chica
Hi Eileen, beautiful photos of your walk with Miney, the birds and Miney. Good wishes for your hubby. Have a nice weekend ! Take care. Greets
I wish I saw all the birds I hear with Merlin! Mine seem more elusive than your beauties. LOVING your deck!
I forgot to comment! Sigh. It's been a week.
Hope all is going well.
Another beautiful selection of bird and flower photos, Eileen! Thank you for hosting and have a great new week!
PS: All the best for your husband!
...lovely critter as always, but you flowers caught my eye. Our lantanas are putting on a show here too. Thanks for hosting and be well.
Prayers and healing energy hugs for your hubby and you ~ not easy for either of you ~ ^_^'
Lovely selection of birds 'and always good to see sweet Miney '
Hugs ^_^
You have such a variety of birds in your area!! I love that you take lots of walks and find lots of birds on your Merlin app.
Prayers to you and your husband.
Wonderful captures of the beautiful birds. Hope you have a nice weekend.
Great birdies. Your flowers are gorgeous!
Such a lot of pretty little birds...and oh your flowers are wonderful!
That sure is a nice bunch of beautiful birdies! Prayers to your hubby from all of us.
I pray that everything goes well with the appts and he gets on the list for a kidney transplant. He's been through a lot but I know you and your family are such a support and inspiration. He always has the happiest look on his face when he's with the little ones. Love your 'critters' today! Happy Saturday! Hugs, Diane
Fingers crossed for your husband to get on the list, Eileen. I wish you both well.
Thanks for hosting us!
What a wonderful collection of birds. We also get most of them, but with some differences. We see the Black Capped Chickadee, not the Carolina Chickadee, and our Vireo is a different species.
You are a real bird lover dear Eileen. So many birds again and a wonderful picture with the flowers. This fire road is a favourite path of yours. Have a good time and all the best

Happy Saturday, Eileen! You see and hear so many wpnderful birds! Your flowers are beautiful! The deer have eaten so much of my gardens this summer as they are very thirsty and looking for anything moist. They empty my bird bath a few times a day! It;s been a hot dry summer and we are all looking forward to fall!
i am so happy to be here!! that app is great, you sure are seeing a great variety of birds...your images of each are really superb. i had an oriole visit me once, he stayed the entire winter, it was indeed a thrill!! i hope you gave the best weekend and many thanks for hosting!!
Your deck flowers are so lovely. A wonderful variety of sweet little birds! Happy end of August to you!

So special to see all of them. Wonderful.
Many greetings,
Marco

Hello Eileen
Thank you for sharing your lovely sightings and also the colourful flowers on your deck.
Sorry to read about your busy week with hubby's appointments and tests, but I do hope he will be put on the waiting list for a kidney transplant.
Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.

Love your report on the birds you hear and see while out and about.
We've had flocks of starlings come through, which drive our cats NUTSO as the waves of birds fly in to peck in the yard or perch on branches, then the whole lot flies off again.
Thanks so much for your visit and comment.
The Starlings travel is huge flocks.
Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
Tu jardín se ve precioso. Muy amenizado entre cantos y flores.
Buena semana Eileen.

They are all so cute!
Beautiful birds and wonderful flowers in your yard. Kind regards, Jasna, old gardener
How wonderful to see all those beautiful birds in the garden... I only have blackbirds, sparrows, and a robin...Your flowers are magnificent... I wish your husband all the best.

Your deck flowers are gorgeous, and I need flowers, even in pots because we only have very few. I hesitate to buy them because I let my pothos die from lack of care and all it needed was water once a week and no direct sun, I forgot to tend it and now its gone
Thanks Sandra, for your comment and visit.
Between me and my hubby we are keeping the plants watered, I wish we would get more rain. It's been so hot and humid, the plants dry up very fast. Take care, enjoy your day and the new week ahead.
How nice to see so many nice and friendly birds.
