Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

 

 Two of my grand-dogs that crossed the rainbow bridge, Chewy and Nibbles. They are missed! Hubby and I watched our grand-dogs many times, they loved their walks on the fire roads.  

These are all the dogs, hubby and I have owned since we've been together 1989.

Happy March everyone, wishing everyone a great month! 

March is the month to celebrate new beginnings, March 9th is the start of daylight savings time and the first day of Spring is March 20th.

This is a mish-mash of critters and photos. The images are from the end of January into the beginning of February. Photos of our dog Miney, the yard birds I see daily and our grand-dogs. Our grandsons shared a birthday party on Feb 1st, we were happy to be there to celebrate their birthdays. 

Click on images for better viewing.

1. Jan 28th, Miney is a big part of our lives now.  We try to take her for a daily walk on the local fire road. On this day the trail was still covered with snow and the reservoir looked frozen and also covered with snow. 

2. Jan 29th, we took Miney for a dog bath to the local dog grooming business. Below is a mural that was in the grooming business.

3. Jan 30th, we took Miney out for a morning walk on the fire road.  

4. Feb 1st, our two grandsons Wyatt and Mason had a combo birthday party.  I've posted before about our grandsons birthdays but these images are from the actual birthday party.  Pop-pop is holding Sophie a few days from being 7 months old. 

5. Winnie our grand-dog is always happy to see us. 

6. The Northern Mockingbird is a bully in my yard, he does not like sharing the food or water.  

7. The Dark-eyed Juncos are my winter birds, they are seen in my yard and they enjoy the suet nuggets I put on the deck railing. 

8. Critter flashback to March 2024, a mosaic sharing our grand-dogs. Nibbles (no longer with us) the mixed breed part shepherd and Winnie the Corgi. 

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.

For my critter post, I have a few backyard birds and our grand-dogs Nibbles and Winnie the Corgi.  

1. This male Cardinal looks like it has a deformed beak. I hope it will survive and still find food to eat.  Poor thing doesn't look happy.

2. Not sure if you can find the two Dark-eyed Juncos, they are finding some food on the ground in our yard. 

3. A grumpy looking male Cardinal was seen sitting in our butterfly bush. 

4. Winnie the Corgi on the top and Nibbles is on the bottom protecting her toys. 

5. Winnie and Nibbles enjoyed our walk to the lake.

6. The fire road is mostly in the shade and the last snow has not melted. Nibbles and Winnie did not seem to mind walking on the snow covered pine needles.

7.  The only bird I saw at our local lake was a Belted Kingfisher flying away. 

8. This Dark-eyed Junco was seen in my yard but I have been seeing groups of them flying away from the edge of the roads when I am driving. 

Celebrating, our beautiful grandson Mason. Another precious angel for our family to cherish and love.

 I have a mish-mash of critters and photos to share. Another sighting of the Red-shouldered Hawk, Pileated Woodpecker continues to visit our wood pile, a flock of Eastern Bluebirds visited our yard for just a bit. I also have some photos from our time watching the grand-dogs Nibbles and Winnie the Corgi.  

1. I think I lost one of my Dark-eyed Juncos, it is not the best photo. It was taken through my kitchen window. Not sure, if this is the Red-shouldered Hawk I have been seeing hanging around the yard. 

Update: thanks to Ken of Rosyfinch Ramblings for the Cooper's Hawk id below.  

2. The Pileated Woodpecker can been seen almost daily in the back part of our yard. 

3. Pileated Woodpecker, photo taken on Valentine's Day.

4. One day I noticed 5-6 Eastern Bluebirds in our yard, they checked out two of the birdhouses.  It was a cold snowy day, I think they were looking for warm protection from the weather. 

5.  Two male Eastern Bluebirds, perched on the wood pile. One Bluebird was checking out another one of my birdhouses.

6. I think this is a female Eastern Bluebird checking out one of our birdhouses.  

7.   We spent a couple of night at my son's home watching the grand-dogs when our DIL went into labor. Our grandson Wyatt was born on 2/15.  

Nibbles is a sweetie giving up her bigger bed for Winnie the Corgi. They are both sweet dogs,  it was fun watching the grand-dogs for a few days. It will be interesting to see how they react to their human brother Wyatt.

Happy 4th of July,  Independence Day 2020!! 

These are some birds seen during our fire road walks, in the forest next to our home.   The Ovenbird is a breeder in this forest and can be heard often, they have a loud call. 

Below you can see the black bordered orange crown on the Ovenbird's head.  

 We walked by the old Great Blue Heron's nest and we saw 5 Turkey Vultures hanging out.  Below are 2 vultures standing on a branch with their wings wide open. 

 Out by our mailbox I saw a small flock of Cedar Waxwings. 

The 3 Grand-dogs: Nibbles bottom right, Winnie the Corgi in the middle and at the top is Chewy.

Winnie has her favorite spot on the shelf under the coffee table.

Surprise here I am with more yard birds. These were seen on the weekend of April 18th.   I've been seeing more American Goldfinches lately, the male below has his pretty summer colors. 

The Chipmunks are regular visitors to my deck, they know where to find the good food.

There are times I look out my window I see more squirrels than birds.  The critters are well fed.

A pair of Mourning Doves on the deck railing..

 A Carolina Wren searching for sunflower seeds or suet crumbs.

Sharing a meal are the Pine Warbler and a Downy Woodpecker.

I have not shared our new Grand-puppy, Winnie the Corgi has now joined our other grand-pups Nibbles and Chewy. We met Winnie the Corgi for the first on March 15th, before the stay at home started.

I hope everyone is safe, healthy and happy!
