A gift from my daughter
This morning’s bird. My daughter bought me a set of Daniel Smith watercolors for Christmas — a far nicer paint set than I’d have bought for myself — and today is my first time using it. Such vivid colors!
Chipping sparrow (Spizzella passerina). One of the many birds I have photographed in my garden.
Side note about the garden: it’s a place where I’ve been intentional about creating habitat and growing native perennial plants. So much urban and suburban landscaping is a food desert for birds. It doesn’t need to be that way.
