Loving my American Robin finish. I am hearing...
Thanks bird!
Loving my American Robin finish. I am hearing...
...and seeing lots of Robins these days.
I went on a Nature Walk and it turned out to be pretty birdy as well.
My biggest score was a female Western Tanager.
The gray sky did not make for good photos.
I also saw several Cedar Waxwings.
This was the best photo I managed.
And it was great to also see a Bushtit.
Most of the year, these are social birds and arrive in flocks, but during nesting in the spring they are solitary.
The dark eyes indicate that this is a male.
I was happy to get several decent shots as he flitted and fluttered non-stop.
American Robin is great! The eggs look like the perfect blue.
ReplyDeleteFabulous stitching Beth just a perfect match to the real deal...hoping you frame this one......have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYour Robin stitch turned out great, Beth. I really like the nest with the eggs in it. I know you are thrilled to have seen a female Western Tanager.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great finish, Beth! We haven't seen as many robins around here as we normally do. Tons of small woodpeckers, though :)
ReplyDeleteYour stitched robin is lovely! In Illinois,where I grew up , robins were a sign of spring. Here, I see them all times of the year. I am guessing that is because our climate is much more moderate than northern Illinois.
