From my earliest memories I recall looking out the kitchen window in the backyard of the home I grew up in Minneapolis. We had a large birdfeeder there that was kept full of seed, no matter how much snow was on the ground or how cold the temperature got. I don't think the visitors were all that interesting to my parents - robins and sparrows mostly - but when we were visited by the vivid red of the occasional cardinal it was really a spectacular sight. It made the dreary gray of the Minnesota winters somehow less so. When I began to draw songbirds early on, I knew they would become a favorite subject of mine. At the time of writing this I have completed 36 illustrations of these birds, including hummingbirds. I know some of the drawings here aren't of birds that traditionally fit into the songbird category, but until I can collect enough of type to create a new page, here's where you'll find them. Many of these birds were commissioned for the Laura Erickson's book 101 Way to Help Birds. I try to add a new songbird or hummingbird every few weeks, but if you'd like to see a species species of bird added here please send me an email.
