New Yard Bird

Garden Grumbles & Cross Stitch Fumbles May 2019 Blog Header

Row #1:The Prairie Schooler, "Birdsong I", "Rummingbird"; Heartstring Samplery, "American Robin"; The Little Stitcher, "Eastern Bluebird".

Row #2: The Bent Creek, "May Blooms"; The Bent Creek, "Blue Bird", The Bent Creek, "Black-capped Chickadee".

I am having trouble uploading the header to the blog- bear with me.


A warm, sunny spring day!

A little male Downy Woodpecker stopped by.

I was glad to see him.

He hung out on a tree top of a while.

I think the swallows are finally getting serious about nesting.

This male Violet-green perched near a bird house.

And here's a female checking out a possible home.

The big excitement though was this guy - a new Yard Bird for me.

A Red-shouldered Hawk.  Isn't he beautiful?

  1. Oh so lucky with a Red-shouldered kite, I do enjoy watching the birds of prey. My boss of many, many years ago was a falconer and I think I got the love from helping with his birds. Cheers Diane
