catbird and red currants
Jul. 14th, 2024 10:41 pmI love catbirds. They are so friendly! They come very near to people and just start chatting. When I hang up laundry, when I go out on my porch, when I'm looking at my plants, along comes a catbird.
The catbirds also like to eat my red currants. The season is pretty much over now, but I drew a chalk drawing in the 90+ degree heat to commemorate catbirds and red currants. I had it on good authority from the weather people that it wasn't going to rain until tomorrow at the earliest, which meant the chalk drawing would survive at least until morning for people to see.
NOPE! Flash storm! Big rain! Ah, evanescence.
Anyway, here is the drawing, which had a life span of approximately seven hours.
And here is a close-up.
Beneath the cut are a couple of process shots
( peek under here )
And here's a photo by Marie Lehmann from www.audubon.org of this friendly bird:
