Sorry for the delay, got home later than I thought I would... So, congrats, Birds are Cool! Good job, love your perseverance, and there's a definite improvement between your 2 posted drawings. You're the winner - you get to pick the next bird to draw, and set the deadline.

Three more days... Is anyone participating?

Thank you! Let's do Forster's Tern, unless it's been done before. Deadline: July 9, 7pm CST.

Here's mine.

Fresh out of the sketchbook... 6x8, color pencil

Congrats! Deadline?

Here's mine, 8x6, color pencil

Thanks, everyone! I'm about an hour southwest of St. Louis (Franklin County).

I think this is a Veery, but one guide shows it's region being further north that Missouri (I'm in east central Missouri), another shows Missouri in the migration area. These are my crummy photos (which I was surprised came out at all). Any opinions/help?

Summer Tanagers are back, along with the Barn Swallows. Saw 2 male, 1 female Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, there's a small flock (maybe 30?) of Cedar Waxwings still hanging around, as are a few Yellow-rumped Warblers. Also saw a pair of Baltimore Orioles - first time in about 6 years. Whoot!

Congrats on your win! What's the deadline?

Two male Rose-breasted Grosbeaks were at one of my feeders. Haven't seen Grosbeaks in a couple of years, and I got buzzed by my first of the season Ruby-throated Hummingbird this morning. Good thing I put a feeder out yesterday so he didn't swear at me.

Finally finished, I think. Color pencil, on 6 x 8 paper

It's a wonderful drawing, and since no one else participated, guess what? You're the winner! Congrats!

Well done! Only a little over an hour to go, so you might be the only one submitting a drawing.
