Gray Days

Wahoo!  I've finished stitching all the curly-ques and fussy ribbony viney stuff!  Now on to the owl.

January seems to have settled down to be one rainy day after another.

I don't have much action in the front feeders as this hawk takes up residence nearby most days.

The back feeders have a bit more going on.

The finches are well represented with Pine Siskins...

...and a nice assortment of House Finches.

I am drawn to the more colorful males. 

They vary from red, to orange, to yellow.

My neighbor continues to have Gray Jays drop by.

Yes jays!  Here are two with a Flicker.

Being more wooded than I am, she also regularly sees Varied Thrush.

  8. We have lots of woods behind our house and have seen a fair amount of the Varied Thrush. I love the design you are stitching. I bet you are relieved to be finished with the fussy stitching.
