Simplified bird #108 - tree swallow

( requested by anon )

As promised, some birds from last week. I took hundreds of pictures this past week and am in danger of not posting any because it's so beautiful now. In order, a female red-winged blackbird, two male red-winged blackbirds fighting or who knows, maybe yaoi, a common egret, an eastern kingbird, a field sparrow, two tree swallows—the one on the left may be a young one—a purple martin, and a brown thrasher.

It is springtime. Many insect-eating birds have already come back north. But the snow sometimes strikes quite late. Many birds seen here eat insects and other small creatures, exclusively.

At least the duck can find some left over water vegetation and the bluebird can eat some rotten berries.

But what does the swallow do in times like these? Or the warbler and the phoebe?

I watch then frantically looking for food, that probably is not there.

The species seen in this post are as follows:

Wood Duck

Eastern Bluebird

Yellow-rumped Warber

Eastern Phoebe

Barn Swallow

Tree Swallow

🚨 Lifer Alert 🚨: Tree Swallow

[todaysbird]

this is NOT the correct way to hold a bird and i know that - i promise i’m holding her gently, but she was stuck in a fence and badly panicking, so i had limited time to get a hold on her. anyway these are some close up shots of a tree swallow i freed from an aforementioned fence - i love these birds and their iridescence, and getting a closer look was very cool 💕

side note - if you ever need to hold a bird and you CAN take the time to do it as safely as possible, look up the banding hold! it’s essentially making your fingers into what looks like little overalls over the bird’s shoulder area and chest

A Linocut Feathursday

This week we bring you more linocut renderings by Spokane, Washington printer and printmaker W. Gale Mueller (1927-2018) from his Forty Years of Birds ‘n Blocks, printed from the original blocks at his��Millstone Press in 2009 in an edition of 53 copies. From 1969 to 2009, Mueller and his wife Bonnie sent holiday cards with Gale’s original bird prints using several relief print processes. Today we show a handful of linocut prints from 1975-1990. For those who want to know more about these birds, here you go:

Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis)

Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor)

Townsend's Solitaire (Myadestes townsendi)

Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus)

Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias)

Our copy of this book is a gift from our friend Tony Drehfal.

Happy Feathursday!
