Day 10, AvesInArt Challenge

January 10th was another very cold day, but with bright blue sky, so it good to be out birding as long as we could stand the wind! We visited some of our favorite spots and found a few new birds for the Challenge!
I chose to sketch a little flock of tree sparrows that were gleaning grass seeds leftover from last fall.

Jorge found a roosting Mourning Dove who sat quietly for a portrait.
