I "shot" this one over at my friends house!!! How fortunate to have a blue bird house occupied by bluebirds...my bird house was taken over by English Sparrows. ... not fun!!!
This visitor to the feeder I believe is the Carolina Chickadee.... I love him with his sleek black cap!!!I saw this plump robin wondering where all the fog came from one morning this week!!!! It was a some what rainy week!!
And then this beautiful lady stopped over for a rest on the mums... A gorgeous Monarch butterfly...
That's all I had time to snap.. hope for more next time!!! God bless!!!
Hello, I love the bluebirds, Chickadees and the pretty Robin. All the birds are my favorites. The butterfly is lovely at the flowers. I appreciate you joining in with my 200th Critter party. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI so seldom see any chickadees, I was particularly pleased to capture this one!!!
DeleteLove it when I can capture the chickadees...they are so darn fast! Great bluebird and robin shots too. And lovely butterfly.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your encouraging comment... It is such a peaceful pastime to photo visiting friends during the week!!!
Delete...I rarely see blue birds, thanks for showing, what a treat.
ReplyDeleteOur community has been going to great lengths to attract and retain birdbirds.
DeleteWe see chickadees quite often but I have not seen many bluebirds so that would be a thrill!
ReplyDeleteShame about the House Sparrows taking over your bird house. Bluebirds would be so much nicer and more colourful.
ReplyDeleteI used to be a part of a bird bird neighborhood, whereby we all had the typical bluebird house, and would monitor the activity, number of eggs, number of hatches in a season, and report to the society recorder. After my first season, the English (house sparrows) attacked my bluebirds and took over my bluebird house, unfortunately, they are so aggressive we can’t get rid of them. But we do still have visiting bluebirds in our area.
DeleteBeautiful photos! Those sparrows just like to take over. I saw bluebirds this past week as well although not near our house, how lucky to see them around your and your friend's home!
ReplyDeleteYou've had some beautiful birds to look at, shoot and share with us. I love the variety. I haven't seen a monarch butterfly in such a long time. They are so very pretty.Have a wonderful week ahead.
ReplyDeleteI love Monarchs. In my science class we used to bring in a spray of milkweed with a pupa attached to it. In our area the caterpillar feeds on milkweed. We placed the spray with pupa in an aquarium with a screen lid. Soon the chrysalis formed hanging from the lid, and the students loved to monitor the changes. On metamorphosis day when the butterfly emerged, we’d celebrate with a party, write poems, illustrate them and at the end of the day take our beautiful butterfly out and release it.
