This is a lovely design and very representative of the Tree Swallow.
Don't you think?
I certainly do.
The past several days have continued to be good birding days.
Even days with heavy smoky when the air quality has been hazardous, the birds still come in the morning.
As I've said before every bird year is different.
This year I have a semi-regular Hermit Thrush a heretofore rarely seen bird.
Wilson's Warbler
Orange-crowned Warbler
The sunflowers are becoming bird magnets for Orange-crowned Warblers and Goldfinches and Chickadees.

Two Orange-crowned Warblers!

I think this may be the prettiest bird photo I've ever taken.
Love the purple bean blossoms.
A New-To-Me Yard Bird!
Only got one partial photo of a male Common Yellowthroat.
Hoping against hope that this bird will return.
I think this is a Hutton's Vireo. I saw it again on Monday.
Love the Black-throated Gray Warbler
Distinctive markings include the yellow in front of the eyes.
I haven't seen a Willow Flycatcher for 3 or 4 days, but this Olive-sided Flycatcher came by...
...and posed nicely.
I will miss my many summer visitors.
Yes, you are included.
"Quick-three beers!"

Oh Beth, I love this finish!!
You have so many beautiful birds including the one you stitched!!
Just amazing bird photos! And I love your finish too! Yes, it's very representative of those pretty birds.
I love the tree swallow stitch and the assortment of birds that visit you never ceases to amaze me.
The Tree Swallow piece certainly looks very realistic! And yay--you still have the great birds, PLUS some new ones!! We went out to find warblers, but not much luck... It's early, tho with this storm down south... what will it do to the migration pattern?? Hmmmm...
Lovely stitching! Enjoyed your pictures of the warblers - such a variety of looks!
I agree Beth, it's a very pretty photo - I love seeing all the birds.
