feeder sketches

This red bellied woodpecker comes sometimes to our suet feeder when the weather is a bit snowy. I know, this drawing is a bit exaggerated in the perspective but seems to still catch some of the essence of the bird.

We had a couple days of ice, so I kept the drawing board close to the window so it could be grabbed quick. The birds are right by the window when on the suet feeder, so you have to be as still as possible. Makes for good practice.  Some of the sketches were with the fountain pen that I keep close there as well.

This little sketch would not photograph. But I like the bird!
