Saturday Critters #603

 I have not been good about photographing my birds lately and because of that lack of interaction, 
they seem to be more timid. 
They are more anxious about my presence when I stand by the window.
I fill there feeders every day, I make sure the bird bath is clean and has fresh water.
The hubs scrubbed it yesterday and filled it with clean water.
They are well cared for!

A few days ago, the birds were very active at the feeders and I took just a few pictures.

This is not the best picture but how stinkin cute is that face?!


Female Cardinal


This is the last of my Black Swallowtail butterflies for now.
This is a boy, they have more yellow, the girls have more blue.
I have 3 more chrysalis from the end of last summer that have yet to emerge.
 I am not sure they will emerge at a later date but I will keep them safe, just in case.

Beautiful pics, Jo... of the birds and butterflies. I think both female and male Swallowtails are beautiful, but the females with the blue are my favorite. Question: Do you see crows where you are?

Debbie said...
