Among the things I miss most in the winter, besides the warmth — the sun, the flowers and drinks on the deck — are the birds.
One of my greatest pleasures in spring and summer is sitting outside listening — the only sounds being the trees rustling in the soft breeze and the happy conversation of birds. The trill of a robin, the chirrup of the cardinal, the songs of the oriole really do brighten the day.
That happened for me today. There is something so alive about a morning when the birds are in full voice, an energy in the atmosphere that you just don’t feel on a quiet winter morning. While there was still a nip in the air, there was a spring in my step as I listened to the sounds around me. It reminded me of how much I love to welcome our feathered friends back to my yard each and every year.
In keeping with their return, here are collections of illustrations that’s definitely for the birds — from cute to cartoon, from whimsical to realistic they’re perfect for your business and personal spring projects.
