It took a while, but I am charmed by the smiling bunny face and heartened by the pastel spring colors. I hope you are too.
I'm seeing some birds I've either not seen this winter or for several weeks anyway.
I've spied a White-crowned Sparrow a couple of times now.
Usually I have 2 or 3 during the winter, but not this year.
I was thrilled to hear and then locate the White-breasted Nuthatch. (I think the bird was laughing at me - what do you think? Listen!)
These aren't very good photos, but I had to document seeing this bird. They more often hang out in the oaks down by the road and are rarely up near the house.
And here's a female Hairy Woodpecker. I think she's been AWOL since January.

What a sweet finish you have there Beth. :)
The bird does sound like he is laughing! Sweet stitch and love the springcolors. I woke up to a fresh dusting of snow!
Beth, congratulations on your 'Basket' finish. I like the bunny and the little bird on the basket's handle. I think your bird photos are super. We saw a couple goldfinches here this morning.
Looks like a fun stitch... such a cute bunny face! I had White-breasted Nuthatches on my feeders, but they have moved on recently, along with the Tufted Titmice. Cycles of life... Downy is a regular, but wish a Hairy would pop in once in a while...That is one I have yet to see! Hugs!
That's a very pretty Easter stitch to add to your blog header next April! We went bird watching on Sunday, you inspired us.
This is a really sweet stitch. x
Supernice!
Love your cross-stitch and the birds are great. Diane
That Nuthatch really did sound like it was laughing!! I like your cute Bunny design.
Great finish!
Beth, you Basket finish turned out really cute. Well done! And that nuthatch IS laughing! I played the sound clip and my dog, Scout, immediately perked up and looked at me like, “What’s THAT?!” Definitely brings a smile to my face.
Great finish with the bunny basket. The spring colors are so cheerful.
That bunny did make me smile! Congratulations on the finish.
