I don’t like it when the crows come to the yard. They scare off the little birds and sometimes bring food they have found to soak in the bath (making it yucky). I had never noticed the blue feathers they have on their wings.
In late July we had a male ruby throated hummingbird show up for a few weeks. The females stay all summer but the males usually pass through. It’s hard to get a good shot of his red throat through the window.
Later we had a few juvenile males come through. They had just a few red spots on their throats.
The lady was sitting high up in the tree when the males came to the feeders. I took the above through the 2nd story window.
Bunny was eating our ivy one afternoon. We’re always trimming it back so we don’t mind if she has a few bites.
The black bellied whistlers made another appearance in the backyard and this time there were 3 of them.
All of the usuals paid a visit. A bluebird, a molting cardinal and a drenched blue jay.
More tiny frogs after a storm. This one was smaller than my thumb.
Hello Dina,
Wonderful critters post and photos. My favorites are the hummer, the Bluebird and the Whistling Ducks. The frog is so cute and tiny!
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.
Beautiful shot of the Humming Birds! You have many nice visitors. The crow is said to be wise, but I agree it doesn’t fit so good with the smaller birds in the garden.
Great photos and such crisp focus on the birds!
