| Quick sketches of various birds, and our very colorful female cardinal |
 |
| LOVE my cardinals! I counted 17 the other day... |
 |
| The yellow shafted flicker is more rare to my backyard...I've only seen the male once this year, but the female shows up frequently, if briefly. |
 |
| I'm always delighted to see purple and house finches together. We see a lot of house finches but not so many purples. |
Winter is such an active time at our feeders, and I'm very grateful we can afford to care for our little cousins! They pay me back by modeling...
LOve your sketches. lively, colourful and beautiful detail
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteso LOVE these Kate -- would love you to do (as if you have nothing to do !! LOL) a mini course on bird sketching and painting!!
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your bird sketches (well all of your sketches, but I especially love birds). Very nice to see these all together.
ReplyDeleteMaybe down the line sometimes, Miss Lin! Right now, I'm working on the class on Meaning-full Journaling...slooooowly....
ReplyDeleteAnd I am eagerly looking forward to that!!!!! HUGS!
DeleteBeautiful bird sketches!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love your birds (and everything else for that matter) and agree with Lin on a bird course in the future!
ReplyDeleteWonderful as always! And your birds in the US seem so exotic to me - those red cardinals have the wow factor!
ReplyDeleteDon't they though??
DeleteJust curious, do you sit close to the window or use binoculars? I really am inspired by this!
ReplyDeleteFairly close, and the feeders are about 5 feet beyond the deck, mostly. I use binoculars and the zoom on my camera.
ReplyDeleteYou sketches make my heart sing! .. especially the house finch. Here, in the West, our male flickers have bright red on the cheek where yours are black -- very spiffy!
ReplyDeleteYes, flickers are SO pretty. I saw our male briefly a day or so ago...and I had seen your red-cheeked guy in the field guide!
