Sorry... not posting the winner yet. I ran out of time this week. But at least I thought you should see the painting. A Dark-eyed Junco was not the first bird I saw New Year's morning. It was a Blue Jay. But I can tell you that little Junco earned its place in 2012 for the Tiny Aviary. Have a lovely weekend, and check back on Monday or Tuesday for the winner, and the junco's story.

Yay for the dark eyed Junco! I never noticed one of these guys until seeing them on the feeder out here in Boston. Such a cute, yet unassuming bird :)
And what kind of magic are you using to make sure that all of your 1st bird of their year paintings aren't of sparrows?? I swear I see 30 sparrows for every 1 interesting bird ;)
I was so lucky in undergrad to be able to work in a Dark-eyed Junco lab. Definitely one of my favorite every day birds, and I definitely hope to be able to see all of the varieties eventually. Great choice!
Somebody's going to be very happy to win that. Really nice piece, Diana.
That's a sweet little bird on a beautiful branch against a wonderful blue snow sky! I hadn't heard of it until reading your blog!Shall keep my fingers crossed!
You are the bee's knees and you inspire me to no end.
I love our friend the junco! (knock knock . . . knock knock knock).
I am ready for the story of Junco. The name alone is a great title, beautiful painting that will give a smile to the winner all year!
what a gorgeous first painting of the year
