You probably cannot tell that I've worked on this a bit. I frogged out the word 'March' and restitched it shifting it over to the correct place. I also started a new bird - the brown blob on the bottom right.
As for birds - I'm seeing Red-breasted Nuthatches - but they flit too fast to capture - as have my recent sightings of a flycatcher, Western Tanager, and several Evening Grosbeaks flying overhead.
A cute little Chestnut-backed Chickadee stayed put long enough for a couple of photos.
He's a bit rumpled looking as it had been raining hard.
I'm seeing nice groups of Black-capped and Chestnut-backed Chickadees.
I'm hopeful that this means they'll be regular winter residents.
What a pretty Chestnut-backed Chickadee! Love his rumpled appearance! Your bird stitch is coming along, Beth!
ReplyDeleteIs the Chestnut-backed Chickadee a young bird? He looks "fluffy." I'm learning from your blog and photos that the young birds have the ruffled-looking feathers and the mature birds' feathers look more sleek and smooth. I know nothing about birds, so I could very well be way off base.
ReplyDeleteSaw a wild turkey on our walk last night! Keep in mind we live in a very busy part of town, not far from the freeway, so it was quite a delight to see this bird hanging out in my neighbor's shrubbery. We passed a family who said they had seen four turkeys on their walk.
I just love those cute little chickadees!
