I am using the same frame for all of the birds in this series. This year I was only able to frame two pieces. I hope to do better next year.
And here are the birds that inspired this stitch.
You have to love the true yellow color.
I call the females Banana Birds.

I think like many others species, male Western Tanagers leave earlier than the females to stake out their winter territory.
I look forward to seeing you again next year!
Here are my Fall Yellow Birds.
Golden-crowned Sparrow
American Goldfinch and Pine Siskin.
I read that the male Pine Siskins have brighter yellow stripes on their wings, so I think this bird (on the right) is a female.
A male Lesser Goldfinch - by far my most yellow bird in October.
He makes an attractive autumnal photograph.

Congratulations on your gorgeous bird finish (and framed)! It is interesting to see many yellow birds in your photos, Beth. Enjoy your Friday!
Oh that is a lovely finish Beth.
Those Western Tanagers, both stitched and photographed, look so sweet.
Your framed piece looks wonderful. They will look great with the same frames. The yellow birds are just beautiful!!
Great shot of the Siskin and Goldfinch on the sunflower head.
I have got to do this bird collection, love the Tanager and it looks beautiful framed.
It is so exhilarating to get a piece finally finished! I have quite the pile. But now I am going to focus more on that, since the birding is not quite as urgent (migration took the warblers). Boy you sure do get great birds in your yard! Hugs!
I truly love how you framed the gorgeous stitch. It's beautiful. RJ
