Silly Little Mystery Bird

This past Spring as I worked around the yard, I kept hearing strange sounds. sometimes the mewing of a kitten and sometimes the melodious song of a bird.  I  spent a good amount of time wandering around the yard looking for the lost kitten, only to come up empty. One day I caught a glimpse of a nondescript little bird flitting around in the underbrush.  Try as I might I couldn't keep her in sight for more than a few seconds.

After a couple weeks of trying to get a better look, I gave up. Then one afternoon there she was! I ran in to get my camera for a better look. When I returned she was sitting in the same spot as if to say "You can take my picture now". Like she had decided I was harmless.

For several weeks thereafter, she would seem to stop and pose for me! I spent quite a while trying to identify her and finally decided she was a Catbird. Silly me, now I know where the little lost kitten went :) I watched her busily gather insects and return each time to the corner by the bittersweet vine. Probably the home to her nestlings. I never did figure out where her nest was hidden.

Once again inspired by a sketch from Sketch Support.

Basic Grey paper and stickers, American Craft letter stickers (no really), KI Memories puffies, Jillibean Soup journaling spots, K&Co. brad.

Used a Fiskars heart punch and EK Success scallop punch to make this flower.

Martha Stewart border punch.

Sorry I cut off the journaling. TFL!

Home on a low census day and hoping to get some scrapping done. Wish me luck!
