Blue Companions

Here is an Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis) pair. The larger bluebird on the right is an adult male, and to his left is a juvenile bluebird.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

"Two Eastern Bluebirds perch side by side on a thin powerline, suspended against a soft, blurred wash of green foliage. The bird on the right is an adult male, and he looks almost luminous — his head and back a bright, clean blue, his chest a warm, rusty orange that seems to glow against the muted background. His posture is upright and alert, as if he’s keeping watch over the scene.

Beside him, on the left, sits a juvenile bluebird. It’s smaller, rounder, and softer in color — its feathers a mix of dusky blue and gray, with faint speckles across the chest that hint at youth. The young bird’s posture is more relaxed, almost leaning toward the adult, giving the pair a quiet, intimate feel, like a parent and child sharing a moment of calm.

The powerline beneath them is a simple dark line, cutting cleanly across the frame, giving the birds a stage to rest on. Behind them, the background melts into gentle shades of green, out of focus, making the birds stand out sharply — two small, vivid lives perched together in a peaceful, suspended moment." - Microsoft Copilot

Great tits and other songbirds are welcome visitors in my garden and always inspire me to paint.

Great tit is an acrylic painting in portrait format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A cute great tit sits on a branch and looks towards the viewer. While I painted the bird in more detail, I kept the background more abstract for contrast, but used the same colours of vibrant yellow, green and teal.

Robin in a winter landscape is a watercolor painting in landscape format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A European Robin sits on a snow-covered branch in the middle of a gentle winter scene. The bright orange breast feathers form a striking contrast to the soft, cool colours of the wintry background. Delicate twigs are lightly dusted with snow, lending the scene a calm and frosty atmosphere. Soft blue and white tones fill the background and suggest a cold but calm atmosphere.

My Robin friend Henry. His chicks have hatched, and he is working very hard to feed them, even in the rain. He seemed very relieved when I showed up with some food this evening.

The existing osprey nest here was completely wiped out by the winter storms so they're working on rebuilding it from scratch.

Though (2nd photo), the osprey seem to have had some trouble getting started. Or they just ended up with a lot of extra pieces.

#Osprey #Birds #Wildlife

Photograph looking up at large lights at the top of long pole at a ball field. A jumble of sticks are collected in a mass centered atop the lights backed by thin, patchy clouds and blue sky. It looks like a mess but is the foundation of an osprey nest in the process of being constructed.

Photograph of a plethora of sticks strewn on the grass around the base of a large lamp post. They seem well-suited to be part of the osprey nest above but were either rejected by the architects or just not properly installed by the builders.

I've created a 2025 calendar using bird pictures I took in 2024. It's free, so pass it on to bird-loving friends. Here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OzbiOhuY4ulVrHKO7TFlZDBd9qCNHPUu/view?usp=drive_link

Happy New Year. I know things feel really hard for a lot of us right now, so let me tell you something important:

In the highland rainforest of NSW, in the Werrikimbe region, there’s a community of superb lyrebirds. Lyrebirds are known for their unparalleled mimicry: they can reproduce the call of any bird they hear (and many other sounds as well). They collect songs like crows collect shiny objects. The variety and complexity of their repertoire, and the skill with which they deliver it, determines their reproductive success.

They also compose songs of their own. These songs vary from region to region; they are learned by lyrebirds when they're young, and passed down from generation to generation with remarkable stability. If a lyrebird finds or produces a new melody that other lyrebirds like, they absorb it into the communal repertoire.

The lyrebirds that live in the Werrikimbe are called flute lyrebirds because in winter, when they're in love, they sing a complex rising melody which sounds like scales played on a flute. This "flute accent" exists nowhere else in the world; it’s unique to this one community. On cold mornings, it floats down through the mists like an enchantment.

How did this haunting melody come about? It's said that a young boy kept a tame lyrebird, and every day the bird listened to him practicing the flute. Then one day the bird escaped. It went to live with its wild brethren, and taught them this new song.

But the truth is much more magical: Lyrebirds composed this song all on their own. It's more complex than any human flautist could ever hope to achieve, and it’s got features unique to lyrebird melody and anatomy.

Lyrebirds live and breathe music. They are built for music. They spend their lives studying the soundscape. They listened to the world around them, all of the pain and suffering and desire and joy, and this is what they sang back into it.

Can you imagine this image on a very large metal or acrylic print? The colors turned out beautiful.

Just before Christmas, our annual trip to Bosque del Apache, NM. At dawn thousands of snow geese having just settled in across the water, all at once took to the air again, flying directly overy our heads. A matter of seconds it was over.

Shifting to a new topic...

Our Local Gem #SweetwaterWetlandsPark in #Gainesville #Florida

Here are two endemic #SandhillCranes that nest in our area. They do not migrate with their northern kin and are slightly smaller. At one point I was about ten feed away from them. 🙂

I was in the mood for some soft and dreamy pastel colors, so I painted this little pastel bird. Enjoy!

Pastel bird on a branch is an acrylic painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small bird sits on a branch and looks to the left. The bird has plumage in delicate pastel shades of purple, pink and blue. The background is abstract and repeats the colors of the bird's feathers. The gentle hues create a serene and whimsical atmosphere.

The Magpie

A bird’s noise is enough to bring back memories of months spent half-trapped because of a magpie.

Are you in the mood for some cuteness?

Early morning rendezvous hand painted watercolor painting:
https://karen-kaspar.pixels.com/featured/early-morning-rendezvous-karen-kaspar.html

Early Morning Rendezvous is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. Two sweet little birds sit opposite each other in a bush and look at each other. The dense branches of the bush form a heart shape around the two birds. The rest of the bush can only be seen blurred in the light blue morning mist. The two birds are depicted as silhouettes in front of the rising sun in a delicate pink heart shape and surrounded by green heart-shaped leaves.
This watercolour painting is the ideal gift for lovers - for Valentine's Day, a birthday, a wedding anniversary or just to say "I love you".

Stillness, light, and the quiet rhythm of water. This moody pelican piece feels like an exhale. https://1-lisas-baker.pixels.com/featured/moody-wildlife-pelican-lisa-s-baker.html

Moody Wildlife - Pelican by Lisa S Baker

A solitary pelican glides across still waters in this peaceful digital painting, bathed in soft twilight hues. Gentle ripples reflect the bird’s elegant form as golden light fades into moody blues. With its serene composition and painterly textures, this piece captures the quiet beauty of nature at day's end.
