All week I have been thinking about what kind of Freebies I wanted to do. This morning as I sat outside enjoying the rain cleaned air and the cooler temperatures I realized if I listened I could hear various birds feeding their young. Then I saw the mockingbird making yet another nest. I decided to share some of my egg prints with you. I am giving you various sizes and colorings. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.
Some Cuckoo eggs. Who knew they would come in such different sizes and colors. Unfortunately, the Cuckoo is extinct in most of the United States. You can still find them in parts of the Southwest and Canada in North America. Unfortunately not in the South where I live. Everyone loved to collect its eggs and feathers.
Some of my favorite birds living here on the coast are the Egrets and Herons. They are very patient hunters. You can learn a lot from watching them.
These are Grebe eggs. They are water birds. I thought you might enjoy some of them.
Here are some smaller eggs. They are Wren, Nuthatch, etc... Every one needs some smaller eggs for their art work! I hope you enjoy these!
Thankyou Elizabeth! I love birds, nests, eggs...all things spring! :)
ReplyDeleteEggs have a magical, hopeful quality about them don't they! These prints are wonderful, tfs Elizabeth.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your fabulous collection, Elizabeth; they're stunning! To be honest, I had no idea that the Cukoo is extinct. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs, Terri xoxo
ReplyDeleteHello there, Hopped over from Bea's place! I love these eggs. Is the cuckoo extinct in the USA? It's certainly alive and well in the UK and Ireland. It lays different coloured eggs to match the eggs of the bird whose nest it takes over. How clever is that?
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth, they are fabulous! Love using eggs in my art.

ReplyDeleteIN Washington State the birds have been SO loud this year they sound like one of those "canned tapes"-it is a glorious riot!!!

Thank you for the wonderful egg prints! I shall enjoy them very much. However, the cuckoo exists still, at least in Europe. We had a pair in our wood near our house in Rheinland-Pfalz, and we treasured hearing their call. I don't know about cuckoos here in the US, however. Would love to hear that call again!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. I don't know how I'll use these eggs but it's given me the project of photographing my Easter eggs before I put them away.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the eggs, Elizabeth. They are so pretty!
