juncos finally

a junco is a bird that in the summer they stay in Canada until winter and then they migrate down to the south which is all over the lower 48 states. the junco is a beautiful bird and i always look forward to seeing them. my cousin and i play a game and who ever spots the first junco wins,but this year i saw the first one. i never can wait to have juncos at the feeder and i will post some juncos later.

and by the way there are five different breeds of juncos these pictures are of slate colored junco the kind of junco that you find in Utah are Oregon juncos.

scanner problems

to day we found out that our scanner does not work so i can not post any of my drawing or painting sorry about that.

even more pictures of birds

mckay the artist

i have been painting for 6 mos now it is my favorite thing to do besides birding i have allot of paintings that i will show you later.
i got a paint set on my birth day 6 mos ago.
i have been drawing with colored pencils for three years but i don't now how i got in to painting.
i do much better with pencils then i do with paint you can imagine that pencils are much easier.
but no matter what the are both fun to use.

how i am doing

well i am not doing so great on birding because some body stole my feeders,
so one day i went to church and when i got back they were gone,
but i bought more but the birds have not found them yet.

my inspiratoun for birding

the people that inspired me to bird would be Donald and Lillyan stokes they have atleast 20 books inwitch i have 5 of them, and they have a birding blog to!
