Blue Stars Small Birds

I bought a pattern on Etsy from Sub Rosa and this pattern "13 Stars" was added at no charge.  I've decided to start of July by stitching this.

Here's a selection of July's birds.

Here's a young Evening Grosbeak.

She's rumpled looking...

and downy too.

Male Black-headed Grosbeak and male Evening Grosbeak.

I had three Anna's in the backyard at the same time - captured two of them!

A small flock of Bushtits have been by for three days running.

They are such funny looking little birds - comical.

The light eye indicates this is a female.

Another rather comical bird - Red-breasted Nuthatch. 

I like how they approach life upside down.

A pair of Black-capped Chickadees.

It was a thrill to see a male Western Tanager the other morning.

Not a great photo, but I think you can see that he is a lovely bird.

I was also serenaded by a Bewick's Wren. 

A great way to start off the morning.

And it was nice to see my Raven couple cuddling.

It's rare that I get to see a Barn Swallow resting.

Hope you have the opportunity to sit back and take a rest today.
