Yellow-rumped warbler (Setophaga coronata) Thank you Mr. Butterbutt for being so easy to spy with that yellow rump-a-dump! #warblersofinstagram #butterbutt #migration . . . . #yellowrumpedwarbler #birdsofinstagram #birdwatching #birder #bird #artistoninstagram #ooak #handmade #needlefelting #felt #sculpture #craft #wool #fiberart #mahteeka #joeandsarahart #outdoors #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #hikingadventures #animalart https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn9tuomhags/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b9yn9758xkq2

Brown Creeper (Certhia americana) These oddly accurately named birds are both brown and creepers. They in fact are designed with a curved beak and long tail that aids them in their never ending creep, hopping both feet at once up tree trunks-never down. (Their name also makes me giggle 💩) #browncreeper #💩 #creepinlikeacreeper #birb #birdnerd . . . . . #birdwatching #birdsofinstagram #naturephotography #birds #felting #needlefelting #fiberart #fiberartist #artistsoninstagram #mahteeka #joeandsarahart #birdfacts #conservation #ecology #artoutside #travelingartist

Snow Geese (Chen caerulescens) Recreating a memory of snow geese I saw near the Delaware Bay. Not pictured are the thousands and thousands of other noisy geese in the flock and the thousands and thousands of New Yorkers and New Jerseyans that have relocated to Delaware. . . . . #snowgoose #lowerslowerdelaware #delawarebay #migration #statepark #birdwatching #birds #birdsofinstagram #needlefelting #ooak #sculpture #wool #craft #felt #artistsoninstagram #mahteeka #joeandsarahart (at Cape Henlopen State Park)

Downy Woodpecker (Picoides pubescens) These tiny woodpeckers are frequent visitors to backyard feeders. Stock up this winter and help them keep their tummies filled with their favorites black oiled sunflower seeds and suet with chunky peanut butter-never creamy cause that’s just weird. Thanks @thehorsepuppy for the great pic❤️ #backyardbirds #woodpecker #chunkyvscreamy #birdfeeding #downy #joeandsarahart #felt #ooak

Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) This smartly named bird builds mud nests in barns and other structures and they are no strangers to the zebra and camel barns at the zoo!#joeandsarahart #swallow #mahteeka #needlefelting
