This is the twelfth and final bird in the series.  I so enjoyed stitching each and everyone and sorry it has ended.

I never got to see a Bullfinch while in England, but I do have the Emma Bridgewater 1/2 pint mug commemorating the bird. 

Here's some local birds that I have seen recently.   

We've had some cold mornings.

This Junco is perched on a frost covered branch, puffed up against the cold. 

This winter I do not have any Pine Siskins, but unusually, I do have several Lesser Goldfinches.

They often hang out in pairs. 

The males are more brightly colored than the females.

I'm also happy to see Chestnut-backed Chickadees and Black-capped Chickadees.

My ubiquitous Steller's Jay.

Saturday's surprising birds included a few wild Turkeys.

I think this is a Turkey Vulture - thought it maybe a wild Turkey.

Hawks have been ever-present.

This is a young Red-tailed Hawk.

The biggest of my Big Birds!
