I am sharing some of my recent yard birds.  The Goldfinches are always a treat to see. A brightly colored male and a female nearby.

 The bunnies have a place in our yard too.

 The squirrels are never far away, they know when it time to eat.

A pair of our pond frogs. 

The Indigo Buntings seem to come and go, I am always surprised to see these pretty blue birds in my yard. This Indigo Bunting looks a little young, not entirely the pretty blue color. 

Thanks to all my visitors and for all the wonderful comments. I appreciate everyone who loves critters and has linked up their critter post.

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!

Not my usual kind of critter, but I looked out my kitchen door to see this stray cat sitting at the bottom of our deck steps.  He/she was intently watching the ground, once in awhile it looked ready to pounce on something in the ground, maybe a vole?

 At times, I can look out on my deck and see 6 or more squirrels eating the bird food I put out. The birds do not stand a chance, these piggies eat as much as they can as fast as they can.. 

You can't see me!  A White-throated Sparrow taking a break in our blueberry bush.

The Red-bellied Woodpecker will visit the suet feeder, when nothing else is available.

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

Saturday's Critters #2

December 13, 2013

First, I want to say thank you to everyone that linked up to my first Saturday's Critters.  I think it went very well. And I appreciate all my blogging friends that left comments and wished me well on my first attempt at a MEME. So, here goes Saturday's Critter #2, I hope you can join in on the Critter party.

  A new way to clear a path on the deck...The Shoveling Squirrel.


 These are some of my critters from last weekend. Last Sunday, received our first big snowstorm.. Leaving us with about 8 inches of the cold, wet white stuff.. 

 Our first real snow..we had about 8 inches..last weekend..and then to top it off we received freezing rain on top of the snow.

A cute Dark-eyed Junco..one of my winter birds.

In the mosaic are some male and female Cardinals..a few Mourning Doves, the Dark-eyed Junco, and in the bottom middle there is a White-Throated Sparrow in between a male and female Cardinal.

A cute Carolina Wren on an icy branch.

My male Cardinal looks like a tree ornament on the feeder.

The Cardinals look beautiful in the snow..I tried several times to clear a path to get to my feeders...it was snowing so hard and  laying faster than I could clear it away..the birds had to use their feet to get to the seed under the snow on the deck railing.  Another Snow/Sleet/Rain event for today and winter has not officially really started yet, do you think we are in for a bad winter?

I hope to see everyone join in on the critter party,  link up your blog post sharing your cute critters. Any kind of critter will do. I am sure most everyone knows how to put a link on your post for Saturday's Critters. Also, I hope everyone will take some time and visit with some of the other bloggers linking up.......

I am so happy you joined in on  my Critter party....I hope to see you linking up again..

Around the yard VI

I am linking up with  Green Day and Camera Critters and I'd-Rather-B-Birdin.

LOL, I am really original with my blog titles. But what can I say these are shots from around my yard and a mosaic of my most popular feeder.

mybirds: Evening Grosbeak, Chickadee, Pine Siskin, another Chickadee with the Purple Finch, a Purple Finch with the Titmouse, a couple of Goldfinches, two shots of  a Rose-BreastedGrosbeak and last my Evening Grosbeak

 I think by now everyone knows I am obsessed with birds. Not a bad thing, right?  Recently, I received an email asking if I would let this person advertise on my blog. I am sure I mentioned it before but I blog for fun and to record photos of birds where and when I see them. I know my photos are not the best quality and I am Ok with that. I do not advertise on my blog or sell any photos I take if you look at my sidebar I showoff my Smugmug gallery. These gallery photos are of my birds and vacations, again they are not for sale. They are my memories of great trips and seeing wonderful birds. I have been asked by people if they can use my photos and I let them. I do not ask for money and I would not accept money. I am actually surprised that they think my photo is good. A few times, I have been asked to blog about a certain topic and I will only if it is something I believe in. So enough  bla-bla-bla, I am going to show some more photos from around my yard and my birds.

Besides birds I also love trees, we have two of these Red Maple trees growing in our front yard. They are looking beautiful this year. It is a little crowded by the huge Pine tree growing along its side.

The Purple Finch has been hanging around for a couple of weeks. They look more of a raspberry color than purple.

One of my squirrel critters just hanging around.

I believe it was Anni of I'd-rather-b-birdin asked what my Weeping Cherry tree looks like. This is what it looks like now in the fall, but in the spring it has pretty pink blooms. The birds will land in this tree before hoping over to my deck where I hang some of my bird feeders.

I hope you enjoyed my birds and critter and more of the trees and our yard..

Around the yard

For my Green Day and  Camera Critters  and I'd-Rather-B-Birdin
I am taking a walk around my yard and sharing some  flowering plants and a few birds and critters.

A bluejay molting.

A cute chipmunk enjoying my birdseed.

One of my regular yardbirds is the White-Breasted Nuthatch.

The birds are not the only ones that like this feeder. My last post showed a Grosbeak inside feeder chowing down on the birdseed.

These impatiens have been blooming since last spring. They do look pretty next to our driveway.
