Recently, I spent some time going through the last couple of months of photos and realized that I had not shared some of my most prized bird shots for this winter...so far.
This Gray Flycatcher has been spending quite a bit of time in the wetland area. I do believe he is posing for me.

This little guy was a big surprise for me. I had been watching another bird along the creek when I saw a flash of yellow go by me. He landed on a limb just a little too far away, but I managed to get one decent photo of him. I never did see his rump for the yellow marking, but none of the other birds fit his description.

I spent most of last winter chasing Green-Tailed Towhees. They are not easy to photograph since they spend most of their time hidden in bushes and thickets. I would see flashes of them in the underbrush, but I never got a clear shot of one.

I could not believe my luck when I came across this little guy busy eating out in the open on the trail. I was even more surprised at how close I was able to get to him. He must have been very hungry or he was use to humans being around him.

On The Cutting Board
I have been looking at this one baby quilt (cover) since I bought this Quiltmaker's All-Time Favorites magazine in Spring 2001. It is so cute with four little critters hugging a star. There is a cat, a dog, a bear, and a raccoon. I can't stand to just look at it anymore.....I have to make it!
It has been a long time since my last traditional quilt. My star's points are far from perfect, but it is coming out a lot better than I had hoped. I have one more star border to add and then I need to gather some browns to applique the cuddly critters. Gotta go...the quilt bug is alive and well!
