(Please scroll down for Saturday's Wordzzle)
Tuesday morning the ground was covered with snow and critters large and small came looking for food. I caught this little birdie in a tree near the bird feeder. I love birds and love watching them but I'm by no means a 'birder.' I'm not sure just which kind of woodpecker this little one is. I think she is a red-bellied woodpecker. One of you more knowledgeable readers can clue me in.
Of course the herd of deer came looking too. By herd I mean that there were about fifteen around on this particular day.
This one came munching under the snow for the birdseed that had been spilled from the feeder. Some of the deer have been familiar with this spot all summer and knew where to look. I can't be sure but think this is one of the fawns I've had since Spring.
Jake here came in the pouring snow a couple of days before. His tail feathers were covered with the white stuff. He came straight to the spot under the bird feeder so I'm sure he's been here before too. He isn't as plump as some we've seen. Guess they're in hiding these last few days before Thanksgiving.For more Camera Critters please click the badge at the top of my post and visit Misty and the others participants posting today!

Lovely critters and great "shots"!
I would hide too if my name was Jake and I looked like a turkey...psst! Thank you Carletta for stopping by.
Lovely photos. Really like that turkey and that inquisitive deer. Maybe the first snow it has ever seen.
I am in Brookville, Ohio and it is cold this morning – 13 degree Fahrenheit = -10.5555556 degree Celsius.
I want your window! Such great things happen outside at your house. Have a great weekend.
I'm with Judi! I want your window too.
I also know very little about birds. Maybe both of us will learn a bit this winter as they come to feeders.
I can not beeeelieve how close up you got on that one deer shot! I LOVE that!
Love your critter shots, Carletta.
Wish I had more critters around here to shoot.
They are here, they just only come into view at night.
Oh, Carletta, you caught a great bunch of hungry critters. Wish I could see that many in my back yard.
It does look like a female red-bellied woodpecker to me...It is winter isn't it...

Beautiful photos. I love the third one especially. It's 19 degrees here and double dusted with snow. I'm not ready for this much winter, but I guess that's irrelevant since winter is ready for me. Your photos make it seem like you live in an enchanted kingdom. So beautiful and peaceful.
Some beautiful critters there! Thanks for sharing :)
Hi!

My fave is the pretty birdie..love it.
I always enjoy looking at someone else's snow! ;-)
You have some pretty critters there!
Beautiful post! The music is nice too. Very peaceful scenes.
I love the soft inocent face picture of that doe. The snow here is so deep, I wouldn't be surprised to see some deer under our apple trees one of these days.
I would think if the fawn was looking in the snow that way it had found something in that spot before. Great that you get to see that closely.
Wow Wow and Wow. How amazing to live where you can see all that in your yard. I'm no birder and wouldn't have even known that was some kind of woodpecker, good call. And the deer...Wow!
Another new bird for me. It's like Alice's wonderland here, always a gorgoues citter or many. I see linky has broken yet again.
Funny how the turkeys know when to disappear!
You have a nice place to watch the wild life.
I like your photos and I like to see that you are enjoying the wildlife in your backyard.
In all likelihood that is one of the fawns from spring.
The deer are beautiful! I think you are right about the woodpecker. Love the turkey, too.
Such beautiful soft eyes deer have. Wonderful pics Carletta.
Oh that deer! Such beauty! My heart skipped a beat when I saw it.
Lovely creatures in here, Carletta. But i wonder waht would the deer eat during the winter months? Are they gonna starve or are they going to be fed?
Got a dating entry. Would love to see ya around. :)
You get such wonderful critter shots, right from your window. Lucky!!
Snow pictures are becoming common this week. Not so here but the UK is feeling it in the east.
The birds will be glad of the feeders.
Carletta: Really neat shots, it's nice the deer come so close.
These are great wildlife photos, thanks for sharing. I like the woodpecker in particular
Oh wow you already have a lot of snow there, we have some in the mountains but nothing here yet, cold however, How lucky you are to have such a nice view of all the critters. Thanks for the stop over as well.
These are really good shots - I love the close up of the deer - so sweet & innocent looking. Congrats on the HOT BLOG Award!
Great captures - so sweet!
These are beautiful critters. I haven't photograph a deer yet.
