I have a mish-mash of photos and critters, sharing birds from my backyard and some from my archives. I am happy that I do not have to go further than my back yard to enjoy nature.  

1. The Peacock is a regular visitor to our yard especially on the milder weather days.  He landed on top of our car one day. 

Another day we came home from dialysis and he was on our deck railing. 

2. The Cardinal likes to sit in our blueberry bush, maybe protection from raptors or the mean Mockingbird. 

We saw the Turkey Vultures in the woods next to our house, one day they feasted on a deer carcass on the road across from our house.

3. Some of my backyard birds on the feeders are the Carolina Chickadee and the American Goldfinch.

4. More of my backyard feeders birds, the Dark-eyed Junco, Downy Woodpecker, White-throated Sparrow and a Carolina Wren. 

Below are various Nuthatches, three are seen either in my backyard or in Southern Maryland and one was seen in Colorado in the Rocky Mountain NP. 

First is the Brown-headed Nuthatch seen in the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge in Cambridge Maryland. I have seen this bird more along the coastal areas of the Mid-Atlantic states. 

The Red-breasted Nuthatch was seen in my backyard, it was an occasional visitor during the winter. 

The White-breasted Nuthatch can be seen every day in my backyard, a regular visitor to my feeders.

The Pygmy Nuthatch was seen in the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. The Pygmy Nuthatch is the smallest Nuthatch can be found in pine trees in Mountains and foothills.

Saturday's Critter's #45

Saturday's Critter's #44

Happy Columbus Day weekend.. I have  a long weekend...we are off Monday....YAHOO!!

Happy weekend everyone! I am looking forward to seeing everyone's critters this week..I appreciate everyone who has linked up in the past and for those who are linking in on this week's critter party.

 I hope you are not all tired of seeing my Colorado photos, but here are some more birds and  critter shots.

I notice these cute Barn Swallows screaming for food outside the restroom. Do birds have tonsils?

I just think these two shots above are so funny..even if they are fuzzy..

The lighting was not the best for taking photos, but you know me I will take them anyway.. Especially if it is a lifer bird like this Pygmy Nuthatch. It looks similar to the Brown-headed Nuthatch.

Another Pygmy Nuthatch shot.. Sorry is was a gray drizzly day.. This Pygmy Nuthatch was seen at the Beavers Meadows Visitor Center..

 This is a cute little Pika, and was seen at one of the overlooks on the Trail Ridge Road close to the top..

Sorry, this shot would have been better except for the little plant in front of the Pika, you can see it cute ears.. It was running away with a clump of something in its mouth..

 Another shot of the Barn Swallows..They are adorable birds..

A cute puppy outside the visitor center. I always notice puppies and dogs during my travels. 

The Uinta Chipmunk..is similar to the ground squirrel.. The difference is the ground squirrel does not have stripes on it's face.

I hope you enjoyed this series of Colorado birds and critters.. As always, I appreciate your stopping by to see my post and for all the wonderful comments..
