Fabric - 32 count white linen

Little yellow chicks...

Big black Turkey Vultures.

Stretch out that wing!

Another large bird - a Band-tailed Pigeon.
I've counted as many as twenty-two.

With my father's and nephew's help, all the bird houses came down, got cleaned out, washed, and are now back up awaiting occupants.

This is a Violet-green Swallow nest.  Dried grasses and feathers.

Here's a Black-capped Chickadee nest - mostly moss.
Stay tuned to see what happens this spring.

  3. I love your Easter piece, so pretty. That pigeons colors are nice, I have never seen one up close. How are you able to identify the nests? Last week I had a Bald Eagle swoop down in my backyard and fly off with a squirrel. One of my cats was watching and I think she was traumatized! LOL. I was so big!
