Saturday Critters ~ 322 ~

The sun has been scarce these days, 
when it is out,
I try to spend a few minutes taking pictures of the birds.
I am lucky to see a great variety at the backyard feeding station the hubs arranged for them...
or did he set it up for me?
It was for me, of course...but the birds enjoy it as much as I do.
The feeders have been very busy,
I always try to photograph the birds when they are in "holding",
in the tree, waiting for their turn.


Black capped Chickadee



Male House Finch



Female House Finch



Yellow Rumped-Warbler



American Goldfinch


Nuthatch

    Wow! You have so many different birds than I do and we don’t live that far apart. Mine are all the everyday ones.

    They are all cute, a nice company.
    The Nuthatch is my favourite because it is so different...

    What pretty photos with the evergreen in the background. We are seeing more Goldfinches now and a few are showing some yellow. I love watching the feeders! You just never know what will stop by for a snack! Enjoy your weekend!

    You must have incredibly clean windows since your photos are so sharp and detailed. A wonderful assortment of fine bird portraits!

      i take all of my pictures through "open" windows. i am lucky that the cold does not bother me and my husband never complains about anything. it does get a tad bit cold in the home office we share but spring and summer will be here soon!!

      and my windows, the feeders are attached to the windows. you can only imagine how dirty they are!!!

    It has been far and few between around here for days, until just recently. It's almost as if all those dark grey days didn't happen for about the entire month of January into February. Almost. Your birds are just incredible and are their favorite perches!

    These are exceptional photos of these precious birds.I loved the different colors and especially love how you can get such great photos. I do think they have their own little personalities.
    Blessings and hugs!

    Wonderful photos. I like getting the birds when they are not on the feeders, but it is not easy.

    Love them all ... and the memories! We had all of these except the nuthatch at our feeders at our Oregon home back in the day.
