Valentine's Day Birds Plus 1

The sun actually came out today for more than a fleeting moment. So some of my photos have sunshine illuminating my feathered friends.
Tufted Titmouse, neighborhood squirrel,Bluebirds, Goldfinch, House/Purple Finch, and some together in the Weeping Cherry tree. Enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Tufted Titmouse

Today, I was able to catch another frequent visitor to our feeders, a Tufted Titmouse. While I couldn't really catch a super close-up, I was able to catch a full frontal view. They are frequent winter birds here, along with the Junco's.

Also managed to do a few more bird portrait drawings for my upcoming series - in between loads of laundry, cooking dinner, dealing with the chimney sweep, and watching the girls. Someday soon I'll start sharing the pencil studies.
