I painted this red-bellied woodpecker for the birdie calendar for the month of February:
And then last week (during the first week of February) this guy appeared at my bird feeder for the first time all winter:
Pretty cool.
But please excuse the image quality! The photo was taken through my (very dirty) glass door, while trying not to make too much of a scene and scare him off. Also my camera, while pretty awesome, doesn’t have much of a zoom lens. But you get the idea. A month-appropriate visitor.
Next month is the chickadee, but if your feeder is anything like mine it has been covered with chickadees all winter long. One of my favorite things about winter, actually — they are definitely my favorite bird (sorry red-belly, you’re cute, too!).

Whoa, you can predict the future with your paintings? Pretty darn cool…hehe…
THIS IS SOOO COOL!!!
P.S. def reserve two birdies for me – whichever ones you want, or which don’t sell by the time I see you next (yes, for the next bean shower!)
