Saturday Critters ~ 358 ~

We had rain and fog every day this past week...
not weather that inspires you to pick up the camera and hang out the window!
But watching my feathered friends through my office window,
 motivated me to take a break and spend a few minutes with the birds.

As I got up and opened the window, I lifted the camera to my eye to focus,
and a Red Bellied Woodpecker landed on the branch, right in front of my lens.
What luck, I got off 3 images before she flew off.




Next up...


A Male Downy Woodpecker





Then one very loud American Robin, I think this is a female.


And we have Bunnies, lots and lots of bunnies!

Another day in the books, we are happy and healthy and happy!

Lovely birds and that bunny is so cute.
It's been very wet in my part of the UK today and I've been spending time watching squirrels scampering about, I know not everyone likes squirrels but to me they have a certain cuteness.

Happy Saturday and weekend wishes.

All the best Jan

Oh my that bunny is the sweetest as are your delightful birds enjoying their surroundings. Lucky you with rain, I'd take that happily compared to 9 inches of snow that fell in my city Tuesday and is still here! Enjoy your weekend and hopefully we'll all get a lot more autumn before winter really settles in.

That red bellied woodpecker is a real score. They're so shy I've never succeeded in getting a pic. They detect my movement inside the room and they're off!

RedPat said...

The bunny is so cute! I am still amazed at the detail you get in your pics. Every feathery detail stands out.

Ruth Hiebert said...

Great shots. Like I've said before, the birds know just when to pose for you. LOL

Greg loves foggy days, he gets so excited, but I know that if it is too thick that isn't fun. So good that you opened the window to get some pictures, great timing with the first bird, such terrific pictures and even love the bunny :)

Ida said...

Awesome shots of the birds and the bunny. I think it would be fun to have bunnies around.

BeachGypsy said...

That first bird looks like she flew in and posed just for you! I love the robin with her mouth wide open.....looks like she is singing her lil heart out with a big beautiful song! I loved seeing yesterday's post too....how you put all the cards together. That is a great way to keep them all together and they are so pretty. You make such pretty things!!!

Anu said...

Yvonne said...

Some really great closeups of the birds, and the rabbit is a lovely bonus.

Ela said...

LeAnn said...

As always you get the best bird shots ever and that little bunny is the cutest. I did enjoy each of these spectacular birds.
Sending hugs your way!

Linda said...

Wonderful portraits of these sweet creatures!

Susan Zarzycki said...

Yes, I agree with your other commenters, the bright colors and sharp details of your wildlife photos are amazing! You have the perfect "blind" by using your office window! Is the window open or closed?💖

Debbie said...

i open the window for pictures. there are 2 trees the birds land in, before they hit the feeders. those are the ones i aim for!!
