I am sharing some birds and critters from my back yard, photos were taken the middle 2 weeks of September. 


The Ruby-throated Hummingbird, 2 were still being seen on Sept 20th.

 

 

 

 

I was trying to video the hummingbird and butterflies at the buddleia when I notice there were 2 frogs in our little pond.  

 

 

  Painted Lady on the Buddleia and a Red-spotted Purple Butterfly on the Devil's Walking Stick berries.

 

 Looking out my dining room window, I thought I saw my neighbors dog loose on the driveway, but it turned out to be a small deer.

As of Oct 25th I was still seeing the Screech Owl in my front yard. A few times it was seen outside my window that I call my Treadmill window. I have posted often about the birds I have seen out my "treadmill" window.  It is actually our den window facing the front yard.

Oct 17th, during the  evening I heard a bang, the poor owl must have flown into the window. Or he was chased into the window. Not the best photo below, but you can see the owl's wings looked a little ragged. But, it was Ok and left a little later.

Another evening I heard the owl calling before I saw it again out the same window. It likes sitting in our rhododendron bush which is right next to the window and house. Sorry, these owl photos were taking from my hallway looking toward the window so I would not spook the owl. 

The weekend of Oct 26th we were dog watching for my son, he went on trip to Salem Ma for a long weekend. We enjoy the company of our grand-dogs, Nibbles and Chewy. 

Chewy is on the left and Nibbles is on the right.  

Oct 25th the Painted Lady butterfly on the butterfly bush. 

Oct 23rd, the chipmunk filling his cheeks. 

Oct 28th the Screech Owl was back looking into my window.  I had to lighten this photo, it was getting dark out and I did not use a flash. 

Oct 31st, the Screech Owl is again sitting in the rhododendron in the evening.  This photo was taken using ISO 3200 and I still had to lighten in my photo program.

I appreciate and thank everyone who links up their post and for all the wonderful comments !

I am sharing some more of my backyard birds, butterflies and critters. Most of the photos were take during the month of August.

A young Gray Catbird, I was taking photos of my Trumpet vine flowers when this bird suddenly appeared. Perfect timing for my photo.

A pair of Chipping Sparrows, they have been my most common bird along with the Cardinal this summer.

A Painted Lady butterfly

A Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher lives in the woods next to our house. Sometimes it comes over to our bushes and trees looking for bugs to eat.

A bunny on the deck steps. The morning glory plant is going great this year, it is covering our fence and starting to take over.

A pair of House Wrens. It was raining in this photo, if you look closely you can see the raindrops.

A Ruby-throated Hummingbird sitting on a buddleia leaf.

Spicebush Swallowtail butterfly on buddleia.

My hummers loved this Lantana plant and flowers.

Great Spangled Butterflies.

Another Spicebush or Pipevine Swallowtail.

Cedar Waxwing, a couple of them landed in our dead weeping cherry tree. We left the dead tree standing just for the birds, they seem to like perching in this tree.

A large bullfrog by our little pond.

Various butterflies seen in my yard this in August.

I appreciate and thank everyone who links up their post and for all the wonderful comments! I hope you enjoy my post and photos too!
