Quick Bird Sketches

So, I've been on a bird kick lately. I put up a bird feeder a few months ago and I've just been fascinated by my visitors. I love to sit by the window and watch them interact. I've been taking tons of pictures. It's about time I start using them to draw! Bear with me, I'm still learning how to take pictures of my drawings, haha.

This little bird is a Red Shafted Northern Flicker, a type of woodpecker. The feathers on this birds wings have beautiful red shafts that can be seen when it's in flight.

This lovely lady is a female House Finch. The males are a muted brown with some red feathers on their heads, necks, and chests while the females are brown all over.
