That is beautiful! Do you have more drawings?

Thanks. Not really. This is a drawing of a Bald Eagle, but I’m not satisfied with it.

I’ll have to see if I have more tomorrow.
Yours are beautiful as well!

Thank you! I haven't got to drawing eagles yet, they are very advanced

How lovely! Glad to have discovered this thread as I am an avid birder and chicken keeper. Today at my feeder I had Pine Siskins, American Goldfinches, Dark-eyed Juncos, Blue Jays, Black-capped Chickadees, a Mourning Dove and a Baltimore Oriole (who has been around for the last week).

Nice! I have also seen a lot of Dark-Eyed Juncos around here, as well as some Mourning Doves (which seem to be decreasing in number), lots of Yellow-Rumped Warblers, a couple of American Robins, some Scrub Jays and Western Mockingbirds, a few Oak Titmice and Chestnut-Sided Chickadees, White Crowned Sparrows, Bewick's Wrens (adorable!), and plenty of American Crows.
I have also seen a Black Phoebe and a few California Towhees.

2 feet away? Wow! I'll bet he'd eat from your hand if you let him!

What has everybody else been seeing?

 

[Chickstarrs]

Just the usual winter birds. Cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches, juncos, goldfinch, house finch, downy and hairy woodpeckers. Oh, and lots of wild turkeys wandering all over the property.

That's awesome! Which is your favorite? Pictures?

My favourite yard bird of the winter has been the Common Redpoll (our resident Northern Cardinal and visiting Baltimore Oriole - both rare for the area - are close seconds though).
