Well this was just good fun to stitch.  I am totally charmed by the rotund orange tiger-cat.  The "c" and "a" and "t" in the alphabet stand out in dark pink.  I changed the color of the cat's tail and added a white tip. 

Tom-Cat gave the stitch and color changes Two Paws Up!

And now it's time for a Bird Update. 

The Cedar Waxwings arrived back on the 7th of September.  

The 'ear-full' peaked on Wednesday the 17th with over 80 birds.

I just read that a group of Waxwings is called a museum or an ear-full! 

With their high pitched buzzing "zeet" call, I vote for ear-full.

Now I am seeing only 6-8 birds at a time.

They've come a bit closer much to the dismay of the Acorn Woodpeckers.

This photo does a good job of showing the comparative sizes of the two birds. 

Now when I see a Sapsucker, I usually see more than one!

See!  I'm not sure what the one on the left has in his bill, but the other bird is most interested. 

Once again two Sapsuckers working away in tandem.

I do love their bright red heads.

And after going most of the summer without a glimpse of a Great Heron, one flew low over the tree tops last week.
