Goldfinches are just so beautiful. I love how the speed of your sketching gives such a strong feel of energy and movement to the sketch - it really captures the tension of imminent flight.

Thank you, Sarah, aren't they lovely? We've had a finch feeder for some time, but they've only just found us!

it's still so cold here that i haven't even seen a bird for days. i've glimpsed a rare fly-by, and i heard a woodpecker of some ilk in a neighbor's tree- but no real sightings. poor things. maybe their little hollow bones act like long johns...

They're sure all fluffed up, for the most part! It's going to get to -12 here tonight, they say, so I hope they have someplace protected to spend the night...

I love this! Great idea to make the suet holder that way! My heart goes out to these sweet birds when it gets so cold. We noticed a ton of birds came to our place yesterday evening, as the temps were expected to drop even more. They seem to know--I guess they were stocking up. Is this right one a flickr? Looks like it to me. Beautiful.

Thank you, Sue! I'm glad we're able to help...

And yes, that's a flicker, guess I'd better edit my post!
