Central Park sure is a wonderful place. So much wildlife right there in the heart of New York City. Thanks Eleanor for sharing it with those of us who can't get there ourselves.

Fall season photo from Central Park, my “backyard”

Eleanor you sure are lucky. What I wouldn't give for a 'backyard' like that and you don't even have to keep it up ! Just enjoy it . Hope to see what it looks like in the Winter with some snow. Bet it's really wonderful then. Thanks for sharing.

LET ME EXPLAIN

Hmmmmmm........Could this Garter Snake photo I took in Cape May, NJ a couple weeks ago possibly be the culprit??? ~ Eleanor

.

.

OK now the explaining part. There was a very funny email going around that had to do with a Garter Snake and she sent this in. I debated on where to put this. Here or WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN LATELY?. Finally decided that I'd put it here. Left a note on Little Bit to that fact. Now I'm thinking I should of put it on LATELY since she was away from home when she took it. But I've already said it was going here, so it's here. Anywho, For those of you who haven't seen the email, it's a tale of how a Woman brings in some potted plants because the night temps outside may hurt them. And a Garter Snake, who has taken refuge in one, comes out and 'checks' out the house. Of course I've already deleted the original, won't ya know it. But it goes on about how one thing leads to another and gets funnier as it goes. I'm really sorry I don't have the whole thing for you. This whole post would make much more sense if I had it. Maybe someone will take mercy on me and resend it.

GREAT EGRET

Here’s a photo of a Great Egret, taken at Turtle Pond in Central Park.

Central Park is a wonderful “back yard” to have, what with all its habitats for a diverse species of birds!

HI ! GREETINGS FROM MY CENTRAL PARK BACKYARD

I thought you might like this handsome House Sparrow and ...

talkative Blue Jay [looks like he’s telling a joke, doesn’t it?]

.

Cheers ~ Eleanor

.

I always enjoy getting new backyard photos. The whole time thinking, Why can't I see these around my house??? Must be due to the fact I have poochies that keep them away. LOL

MEET RED

Her name is “Red”, she appeared in Central Park a little over a year ago, and her arrival is a mystery because there’s never been a red squirrel in Central Park before her!

.

I know two women who are her ‘nannies’ and bring nuts and cups of water daily, to make sure she gets along OK [like she couldn't take care of herself ;o)]. Apparently she has lots of fans who visit again and again and bring treats.

.

Cheers,

Eleanor

Please join me in Welcoming the newest member of Team Backyard ~ Eleanor. Good to have you on the team. She sent this photo of a Catbird in Central Park. And judging by the looks of this I think we may see more good photos from her.

Thanks Eleanor
