It Does Not Look Like Much Yet

 

It's going to be a European Robin, I promise!

Rather blob-like at the moment.

I see a nice group of California Quail most mornings.

Sharing some fall color today.

Anna's Hummingbirds are among the earliest to show up in the morning.

Here's What I'm Working On

 

Another Little Stitcher design.  

This time a European Robin.


I've been hearing Ruby-crowned Kinglets.  Finally, I was able to capture one with my camera.

The little Downy Woodpeckers have been very reliable.

I've seen two males - though they do NOT like to share space.

One usually runs the other off.

There's more tolerance for a female Downy.

Sunday's Hummers

I think I'm going to have a good turn out this winter.
I've seen as many as six birds at the same time.
All Anna's as expected.

A juvenile male


A female


An adult male





Happy Sunday everyone!
