The last time I posted an update on Heartstring Samplery's Redwing Blackbird was back in early June. I've not worked on it since until I pulled it out on Monday and began working on it again. It looks like a black blob rather than a blackbird - a bill and legs will help and that's what I shall stitch next.
We've been hot, hot, hot.
On 90f+ days the water I provide for the birds might be more important than the food I set out.
After having a drink, this young Oregon Junco decided to take the plunge.
Cautiously stepping deeper...
...and deeper.
Ah - bath time! So refreshing!
Glad to see your Redwing Blackbird making an appearance again, Beth! I always see them perched on cattails when I walk up at my mom's place. I keep trying to get a good photo of one, but with my camera phone it is difficult.
ReplyDeleteHope things cool down for you soon--we are enjoying a lovely 74° day here :)
Ah that poor bird having a bath! So important to remember our feathered friends in this heat.
ReplyDeleteWell how did I miss this one??? Beth your bird bath is great and I can see your feathered friend enjoys it very much. RJ
