Cedar Waxwings and a Robin
The madrone berries are ripe and we have been lucky enough for find several flocks of Cedar Waxwings. There is usually a Robin also enjoying the fruit. This painting was part of a commissioned pair of paintings.
Red-headed Woodpecker
On our frequent spring pilgrimage to Northern Ohio, we see many warblers species breeding and more migrating north into Canada. It is a special treat if we see the Red-headed Woodpecker. It is a beautiful woodpecker with gorgeous sharp color lines, and what is not to love about that striking red head? This one was photographed at Maumee Bay State Park, Ohio.
