Drawing - American Tree Sparrow

American Tree Sparrow - Graphite on Paper
Copyright 2011, Nicole MacPherson

Another sparrow that we usually get in the yard each year, but always in small numbers.  Usually only one, but there were two at one time this year!  This year I thought they weren't going to come at all, they were so late!  Also had one very late bird, stayed from May 8 to May 10.  At least I think it was the same bird!

  1. Nicole,

    This is a lovely drawing and I love how the bird's head is turned. I'm heading up to Montana tomorrow and hope that I get some photos of Tree Sparrows there. I saw a few last year there but didn't get any decent shots.

  2. Thanks Mia! I was a bit unsure about using that pose, with the trademark breast spot not showing, but I liked his expression. Good luck on your trip!
