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.
Evening Grosbeaks
Black-headed Grosbeak (male)
Black-headed Grosbeak (female).
Cedar Waxwing
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.

Just fantastic Beth! Great shots!
I am not an outdoorsy girl. But I love coming by your blog to see your nature posts. Amazing photography. Keep them coming.
Great photos as always. I love seeing what you capture -- always learn about birds too!
That's going to be a cute little piece. Look forward to seeing it! Love all the little birds. At first glance, I might mistake some of those Grosbeaks, their colorings are so similar, tho in different places! Your Bushtits are just the cutest... reminds of of our tiny little Blue-gray Gnatcatchers! I have yet to see the Red-breasted Nuthatch... on my Most Wanted spot right now. Maybe late this summer... Thanks for sharing, as always! Hugs!
Always love looking at your bird pictures! Have never seen a cedar waxwing in person (even though they're supposed to live around here and also where we used to live). They look so ... perfectly smooth is the only way I can think to describe - they make me think of that person whose hair is always absolutely perfect.
I love the new design. A great one for July. Wonderful photos of all the sweet birds!
