Homeward Bound, Hummingbird

Homeward Bound, Hummingbird

This painting is from a reference photo I took last September. About the end of September and into early October the Hummingbirds begin their migration south. It's a long journey and their feeders stay up until late in October, for any late comers. It's always a joy to see them again in the spring, I haven't seen any yet, but maybe soon.

Here is a photograph of the same bird....

These beautiful little songbirds are passing through southern Ohio now, one of the most beautiful little birds in the trees. It also has a sweet song!

These birds seemed to be everywhere except my yard. I waited and waited for one to show up at my feeder, but no. So, out last week at a local park I hadn't been to before and there it was! I was so excited I grabbed my camera and crept as close as I could to take some reference photographs. There are no words for how blue he was, incredible, and then the rust/orange breast feathers! I don't paint birds I haven't actually seen and I work from my own reference drawings and photographs. I waited a long time for this guy, and he was so worth the wait.

Many thanks to Nancy at the Row House!

So, about Graeter’s Raspberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, it is their signature flavor, loaded with huge chunks of chocolate. My favorite!

Still looking for nesting material, I see one bird taking some nesting material out of the nest, so perhaps they have decided to nest in a different spot. It's noisy on my deck, the Red-Wing Blackbirds are loud and rowdy, scaring off some of the smaller birds. As soon as the fields are planted they will be gone. Two nesting boxes are occupied by House Sparrows, but I am unable to get a good photo of them. I enjoyed this series of these happy, energetic little Carolina Chickadee's.
