Saturday Critters

This morning I'm  sharing with Eileen's Saturday Critters party.
I have so enjoyed feeding the birds and discovering new neighbors in the  hood...I will begin with my favorite bird, the white throated sparrow... His song is such a  wondrous sound to me...  I am thrilled he frequents our  yard now!


 He is recognizable by the yellow bars above his eyes.


We ,also,  have these frequent visitors, the  nuthatch and  the  purple finch.


The bluebird likes to  sup at the    bird bath as

 well as, the robin!

We now have  a casual  guest of the dove who  who actually likes to forage around on the ground.


 This guy and  his  compadres  are frequent visitors..  each very distinctive. ... here the red head  or red bellied wood pecker

and his friend the ladderback!
 


 THis fellow  is here  many times a day now!




 The catbird recognized by his gray color and darker patch on his head stops  by several times a day!
and I love the chick a dees  who are always welcome!!

The brown thrasher has marked us as a friendly spot to stop on their daily foraging  jaunts.




The blue jays like to dominate when they a re in the area!



 Then I will end with another favorite  I think this may be a young male cardinal...





Our state bird here in Virginia!

I am ,also, sharing with Anything goes Pink Saturday because bird watching has become such an integral part of our day!!!

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
