Well it's a Christmas ornament really, but the 9th day is a woodpecker drumming on a drum and it amuses me no end...and it's a bird...so...of I got stitching away!
While the number of summer birds / migrants has decreased dramatically, every once in a while one still show up for a last hurrah!
Black-throated Gray Warbler
Warbler of some sort atop the sunflower - maybe an Orange-crowned Warbler.
A Willow Flycatcher lived up to his name sallying off his perch to snag a bite and then return to survey his prospects.
He was fun to watch go about his business.
It's thanks to Parvati wanting to go on a walk-about that I saw this bird.
Saturday morning I heard and then found this female Evening Grosbeak.
She called out the clear, bell-like note that is this bird's signature.
I am now seeing the return of some of my winter birds including a Fox Sparrow and this White-crowned Sparrow.
The seasons, they are 'achanging!
Haha! Yes, I quite like the ornament also Beth. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteBeth, I get a black x for most of the photos, hopefully it's just my computer and not your post.
ReplyDeleteI never saw that woodpecker pattern before, you got a twofer on that pattern! The cow with cardinal is adorable too!
A woodpecker drumming is a fun idea for an ornament. It does sound quite like a drumming going when I hear the woodpeckers going at it in the woods behind our house. Lots of lovely bird pictures. Happy stitching! Andrea
ReplyDeleteWoodpecker drumming - delightful! As are all your beautiful bird pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool how the birds know the seasons. Beautiful pictures as always!
ReplyDeleteI love those cute little sparrows!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed all of your lovely bird photos, Beth. I CAN'T wait to see the woodpecker drumming stitched. Is this an old pattern or is it still available? RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
ReplyDeleteLove all the birds you found! I wonder if the mystery bird I photographed recently was a Willow? I will have to check into that... That woodpecker ornament is going to be great! Hugs!
