White-throated Sparrow - Zonotrichia albicollis

Hello! I returned from my travels to the beautiful Pacific Northwest sometime ago, and now have caught up enough with the other parts of my life to dive back in to the Tiny Aviary. I have a fresh little batch of watercolors to share, one of which will be going to the winner of the previous contest post: Congrats Amy (Please contact me via email with your shipping address)! I will be posting that image, along with some rambling about my trip to the San Juan Islands, later this week.

I am happy to report that I have been very busy. I'm in the middle of a couple a large book illustration jobs that will take me through the end of the year. The other reason for my absence and why I haven't been able to go in to the Field Museum as much recently, is that me and my sweet husband Jay are expecting our first child. We're super excited, as you can imagine. I am already fantasizing about the birdwatching hikes we'll take and her (yes, baby is of the girl type!) introduction to natural history museums. Poor baby has no idea what she is in for with a couple of nutty parents like us!

Back soon with more. Thanks so much for hanging in there, and checking in. xo Diana
