Love this picture. What a beautiful bird. We get the rose-breasted grosbeaks passing through in the spring, which is usually the only time I see them.

Those drawings are amazing! I love it!
I have tons of chicken pictures, but that’s about it. I will occasionally sketch a chicken, but I’m not very good at it.

I feel ya!

It is a very nice picture! I will sketch this evening.

Thank you.
We don't have grosbeaks here year round either. We only usually see them migrating through in the Fall.

I'm afraid I didn't do a very good job on this one. I'll try again today. (Sorry for the poor camera quality)

Wow how did I miss this thread?!
I love birdwatching. Before I got into incubating, hatching and keeping a duck I was in love with just sitting outside all day watching the birds and feeding them out of my hands. What got me into it was when a hooded warbler started to build a nest right out of our window. It was amazing to see, and 6 babies hatched. I don’t get good photos but I still love to watch them.

I’ve recently seen a yellow male cardinal, which I believe is kind of a rarity, and some of my favorite birds are:
Blue jay
Stellers jay (but I’ve never been able to see one)
Cardinal
Eastern bluebird
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Cedar waxwings

Welcome, Corbdee! I have never seen a Hooded Warbler before, but I have seen Steller's Jays, maybe we could trade?

I think it's wonderful!
So cool to see a drawing of a pic I took!
Thanks!

That's amazing that you got to see such beautiful hooded warblers nesting outside your window! So lucky!
"Hoodies" are some of my favorites too, but we only get them briefly during migration.
