Great Backyard Bird Count . . .

It's that time again . . . 

the Great Backyard Bird Count is happening

February 16-19, 2024

We were all ready yesterday, feeders were freshly filled, pen and pad of paper sitting by the window seat anticipating who would visit the garden.

It's been a very quiet so far which has surprised me

as yesterday we had snow and I thought everyone would be hungry!

 I have however been cooed by a pair of lovely turtle doves while drinking my tea.

Hopeful the weekend will bring more birds into the garden.

Speaking of snow . . . 

we were pretty excited to see the white stuff yesterday (it's been a very mild winter). 

While my husband shoveled last night, I made us a lovely little snow person to sit on our garden bench.

He's only tiny, so no scarf, but he needed something, so I wove some garden vines into a wreath. 

It was too dark to take a photo, I will head out later and take one ;-)

I'm very happy to say that I am the Cover Artist for The Country Register of Ontario.

 

"Warming Station"

Thank you so much to publisher Harriet Ramos for choosing & supporting my art! 

 Happy birding

& have a wonderful weekend
