One Day at a Time

Design - "February Stamp"
Designer - Lizzie Kate
Fabric - 28 count Light Mocha linen
Fibers - WDW - 2 strands over 2 threads
Started - 13 February 2018
Completed - 15 February 2018

Love the colors in "February Stamp" - a fun and fast stitch.

The Great Backyard Bird Count ended yesterday, but I have yet to submit and tally my observation sheets.  I'll have a blog report later in the week (I hope).

By far the most numerous bird this year - Robins.
One morning I counted well over 100 birds.

I can tell you that this year I had several Pine Siskins...

...and a few House Finches. They are prone to eye infections, and I think this male is suffering from one.

I had a couple of Flickers at the feeders.

Each time this female attempted to eat at the suet feeder, a male flew in a drove her off. 

I did see all three of my Acorn Woodpeckers during the count.

The star of the count has to be my Yellow-rumped Warbler.

  4. A darling LK finish, Beth! And so many wonderful bird photos. Do the eye infections on birds clear up on their own? Poor thing!
