Happy New Years Eve! Great day, a cool morning warming up to a high of 76. Clear and breezy. Birds seemed to be everywhere all day! After going to Merritt Island and spending a couple hours at Black Point Drive this morning, I was once again lured outside in the afternoon by a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. That turned into a walk to the cow pasture where a Red-tailed Hawk circled with the vultures, and a flock of Robins hopped along the ground. What a beautiful way to end 2011! Fills me with hope for what is to come in 2012.
Sandpipers, plovers, and other such shorebirds.
I finished this piece a while back, but never got around to posting it. This is another in my series of the Merritt Island birds list. Sandpipers, plovers, etc... Â
North Carolina mountain migratory birds.
Last year for Christmas I gave my parents a painting of the permanent resident birds of the North Carolina mountains. This year, I painted the warblers and other small birds that migrate through their area. Now that Christmas is over I can post it up! Â Â Here is a closer look at a few of them: Â Most of these birds will visit the mountains in Summer, while I am used to seeing them in Florida during the Winter!
Merry Christmas!
