Back to Birds

Let's get Back to Birds!

I'm going to stitch Lizzie Kate's kit "Chicks".

That keeps with the theme.

Outside the birds seem to be enjoying the nice weather.

My male Downy still appears to be a bachelor.

It's a bit too soon to tell if any of the California Quail are bachelors. 

I counted a group of 18 in the backyard last evening.

They seem to be slowly pairing up.

AS they do, they'll split up into smaller and smaller units.

With a heavy dew in the morning, the Robins were out and about. 

I like how the morning sunlight shines on the head of my male Acorn Woodpecker.

I think the female is perhaps a bit plumper.

I'm hoping for baby Acorns this year!

My Violet-green Swallows continue to house hunt.

Much like the Hummingbirds, they defend their territory against others.

While it is next to impossible to tell a male from a female Scrub Jay, I think this might be a bonded couple.

I continue to have more and more White-crowned Sparrows. I counted six yesterday.

It's much harder to take a Hummingbird census as mine do not share!
