Winter Residents

They’ve been here a couple weeks now. Some of the winter residents. They’re thoroughly enjoying the seeds and suet that I’m putting out for them. White-throated Sparrows (Zonotrichia albicollis).

Come spring, they’ll be heading north again, to Canada and New England.

    I have used this lovely photograph for a painting. I am attempting pastels. Never done a bird before. But thanks for the inspiration..

    1. Hi Bonny!

      What marvelous news to hear that you are into art! Though I’ve worked in oil and acrylic paints over the years it wasn’t until a friend taught classes in pastels a few years ago, that I really became acquainted with them. And I totally LOVE working in pastels!

      Thanks so much for reading my ramblings and looking at my photos!

      Happy 1st of December!
      Bren
