My wife who is a graphic artist and does interpretive signage also bemoans what you have talked about. It’s why so many have gone out of business. It’s a sad unfortunate reality.

I had a friend who was a widely published and famous illustrator, Harry Campbell harrycampbell.net who is no longer with us. He used to talk about it. It’s because no one wants to pay and everyone feels they can do it themselves and AI has made it easy.

Yours looks like mine. I used some wire to tie around the grills to the frame and it’s held up so far.

I saw this at Bosque del Apache late last year. It was an amazing experience.

3/3 of the ruby crowned kinglet. After this was taken, it flew off to eat its morsel and returned many more times later.

This and the next two posts are a series of a ruby crowned kinglet. You can see some of its ruby crown. Enjoy! We certainly love having this tiny gem of a bird around. 1/3

Notice how she uses her tail feathers to brace herself. All woodpeckers do this, their tail feathers are much stiffer for this function. Female northern flicker.

That darn post got in the way 🤣 You can really see why they are called yellow shafted northern flickers, this is a female. In the western states, they are red shafted. Beautiful birds!

She was trying to get a drink of water but the top layer had frozen, but I took care of that 👍. A female eastern bluebird.

What’s not to love about squirrels? They are so amazingly resourceful. I love how he specifically uses the blocks of compacted snow to reach the water.

The pine warbler eats in the other feeder while the bluebirds are all around. The bluebirds share so it wasn’t chased off.

After bailing out of the mealworm feeder, a pine warbler looks back longingly as the bluebirds took over the feeder. So pitiful.. it soon discovered the other feeder. See post 👇
