Drawing My Little Chickadees


Ellie May has been helping me with my drawings
of the dear little chickadees...


While sitting upon a pillow on my lap,
she has an up close and personal connection
to my art and the subject matter!

Dainty

...so sweet and dainty!

Today's Birds

Among the birds who visited our yard on Friday
were the tufted titmouse and the robin.


It is awfully early for robins to be here!

Clothes


Brody just can't resist sitting upon a pile of
clothes!

Ellie May and Polly


Yesterday it almost looked to me that both
Ellie May and Polly were smiling!

The Nuthatch and Brown Creeper


The nuthatch has been visiting...

and then

I saw another bird in the tree
that resembled a nuthatch from a
distance but had a different pattern.




The bird book helped me to identify
this bird and I think it is a
Brown Creeper.
Anyone know for sure?


The nuthatch seems to look for
bugs going down the tree
while the Brown Creeper seems
to look for them as it moves up
the tree!

Jack Pot

This morning I watched this little
red squirrel busily eating sunflower
seeds while sitting in the bird feeder.


Next time I looked out,
quite a different story
for
the little red squirrel
found the
jackpot!
