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...
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! Here is a closer look at a few of them: Most of these birds will visit the mountains in Summer, while I am used to seeing them in Florida during the Winter!
Merry Christmas!
