I had the chance for a day of watching our feeder birds and trying to capture them as quickly as possible. I added color mostly from memory, except checking on our little house finches--I would have forgotten that reddish rump!
We have 11 feeders plus what I throw on the ground out the front of the shed, and 5 more behind it, so we get a wonderful population of birds.
A very satisfying way to start the year...and yes, following Sandro's and Paula's bird sketches felt quite bold!
Love those Jays! They are kind of bullies but they make up for it by being so pretty. And so big after watching all the finches and sparrows! Lovely drawings (we are bold, aren't we?)
