A Nice Bird or Two


Design - "Monthly Animal Series" - "August Bee"
Designer - Nikyscreations
Fabric - Espresso 30 count R & R linen
Fibers - DMC - 2 strands over 2 threads
Started - 5 August 2016
Completed - 7 August 2016


Framed - September 2018

The frame picks up on the rosy-pink flowers.  I have quite a collection of framed beehives / bee skeps and am most pleased to now be able to display this design. 

 Most of the male Black-headed Grosbeaks are gone - already migrating back south.

What's left a females and juveniles - very hard to tell them apart.



I did have a special bird swing by.

Very poor lighting for the most part.

But here you can see it calling which was what alerted me.
It was a bright yellow female Western Tanager!
