I changed some of the colors for the flag. I used Whitewash rather than the gray used for the house roof. Also some of the red stripes were to be Aztec Red which is the color of the bird. I chose to do all the red stripes using Lancaster Red.
What's up in Birdland?
I'm hearing and seeing chickadees.
Lots and lots of Black-capped Chickadees.
They pose for me as they talk to one another.
There are also some Chestnut-backed Chickadees, but so far they've been camera shy.
I'm seeing Golden-crowned Sparrows most mornings.
And Fox Sparrows too.
I had one Black-headed Grosbeak who lingered long after the others had left, but I think it is gone now.
And I had one more Western Tanager sighting.
I think they're the bird I miss most in the winter.
That bright yellow!
Such a pretty bird. Safe journey to you!
I do have groups of Cedar Waxwings most mornings and evenings.
CAn you see the yellow-tipped tail feathers?
More tail feathers.
This gives you an idea of how many birds.
And most days a Cooper's Hawk comes by trying to take out one of my California Quail. If I'm around I yell and clap my hands to distract the bird. Eat elsewhere please!

Your stitched piece is so pretty. I do like the colors you chose. Love the photo of the chickadee on the thistle!
