This Prairie Schooler chart, "Hocus Pocus", has three owls and I am thinking I might just stitch all three. I am starting with the one in the upper left corner.
Earlier this week I counted Acorn Woodpeckers. But I no longer remember if I counted 5 birds or 6 birds. My sister says I told her 6 birds, so that's what we will go with - the group officially has six birds!
Of the six, my favorite is Junior.
He's the baby who fledged this summer.
The top of his head is a very bright red with bits of black flecks near his eyes.
He still is shorter and fatter than the true 'adult' Acorn Woodpeckers.
And he is a bit awkward yet.
Some days he looks like he awoke with a bad case of 'Bed Head' - his red feathers appearing stiff and spiky.
He has lots to say and all of his conversations are in a loud Outside Voice.
I wonder if I'll still be able to tell him apart come next summer.
With our recent rains came the clouds and we were amply rewarded with a pretty sunset.
I love pink clouds.

ReplyDeletePS does a great job with owls. I am enjoying all your owls! The red feathers on the Acorn woodpecker are so funny!
ReplyDeleteBeth, the baby acorn is adorable! I love his'bed head' ! The PS owls are great.
ReplyDeleteThe Acorns are so vibrant! I'd be stitching all 3 owls too if I had that chart.
