These are some of my yard birds during the end of April and part of May. The chipmunks enjoy the bird seed along with the birds and squirrels.

One of my favorite migrating Spring birds, is the Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

The farm down the street from me has 3 baby horses, they are so cute. There are 2 seen on this photo.

The Chipping Sparrows have returned to the yard.

The chipmunks enjoy seed dropped by the birds.

The female Cardinal is a regular visitor.

The Yellow-rumped Warbler is a new yard bird, I've never seen them on my feeders before.

Even the Goldfinch in the background is wondering why the warbler is at the feeder, lol.

I hope you enjoyed my bird and critter photos. I appreciate and thank everyone who links up their post and for all the wonderful comments this past year !

I am sharing some more of my backyard birds, butterflies and critters. Most of the photos were take during the month of August.

A young Gray Catbird, I was taking photos of my Trumpet vine flowers when this bird suddenly appeared. Perfect timing for my photo.

A pair of Chipping Sparrows, they have been my most common bird along with the Cardinal this summer.

A Painted Lady butterfly

A Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher lives in the woods next to our house. Sometimes it comes over to our bushes and trees looking for bugs to eat.

A bunny on the deck steps. The morning glory plant is going great this year, it is covering our fence and starting to take over.

A pair of House Wrens. It was raining in this photo, if you look closely you can see the raindrops.

A Ruby-throated Hummingbird sitting on a buddleia leaf.

Spicebush Swallowtail butterfly on buddleia.

My hummers loved this Lantana plant and flowers.

Great Spangled Butterflies.

Another Spicebush or Pipevine Swallowtail.

Cedar Waxwing, a couple of them landed in our dead weeping cherry tree. We left the dead tree standing just for the birds, they seem to like perching in this tree.

A large bullfrog by our little pond.

Various butterflies seen in my yard this in August.

Leister Park

Hello and happy Thursday!

On this day hubby and I enjoyed our walk on a paved trail at the Leister Park in Hampstead Maryland. 

Along the path were wildflowers, some people would call them weeds. I was enjoying the Goldfinches eating the seeds off some dead flowers. 

Call you find the two Goldfinches mixed in with the Chicory and Queen Anne's Lace?

A female Eastern Bluebird was chasing bugs on the trail.

A Chipping Sparrow with a mouthful of some kind of bug.

This Queen Anne's Lace reminds me of a snowflake.

 The sky and Queen Anne's Lace.

More sky and the paved trail. After a rain this paved trail is nice for walking, there is no mud!

On the way home a barn scene for Tom's Barn Collective.

Just a drive away from home I can usually find some kind of barn. 

The Waxing Gibbous moon on August 5th. Full moon was seen on Aug 8th.

I am thankful to take a walk after a rain storm.
