Chilly Hummingbird

Chilly Hummingbird

Acrylic on canvas, 5 x 7 inches. $95.00 Sold


Hello. Just like clockwork, the Rufous hummingbirds came back when the Red Flowering Currant (Ribes Sanquineum) started to bloom. It is still pretty cold here in the Pacific Northwest. These tiny birds, which are usually so sleek, puff up their downy under feathers to keep themselves warm. I think it actually serves two purposes, it helps them keep warm, and causes the backyard birder to rush out with fresh nectar to reward them for how cute they are. Hope you like it.
