Birdy Christmas!

Some of the gifts this Christmas:My sister Raquel, painter of the birds, created these ornaments for Birding Mommy (above) and me:
Pretty cool! She said she's taking orders for next Christmas, so I'm thinking of an entire series of warblers....





It's been a birdy day all around this Christmas. Mary, my niece Lilia, and I took a walk around the neighborhood to look for birds; I'd seen a Yellow-rumped Warbler in the front yard this morning (but didn't have my camera, dangit!). This little Mockingbird flew up into the setting sun to pose for me:Birdy Christmas, everyone!

Such pretty ornaments! Can I make orders? ;-). I got a lot of bird presents too. I think people are excited to finally have something normal to get me. Happy holidays!

Elizabeth--yes, it helps people choose gifts when they know your passion! And I told my sis not to be surprised if she got orders, so let me know--seriously!

Rabbits' Guy--Hope you and yours had a hoppy Chistmas!

Those ornaments are lovely. I'd be interested in buying ones with hummingbirds, like the ones you pictured. My dad has several bird feeders at his NM house, including one for hummingbirds, and he loves to watch them.
