Thanks for visiting my blog! MudBay Bird House was created as an addendum to MudBay Musings as a way to share my home bird photographs with other artists. These photos are not meant to be artistic in themselves, but it's my hope you will find them a handy reference for your quilts, collages and mixed-media projects.

This is a blog for those of us who need or prefer a bit of help in the drawing department... I've tried to capture various poses of my feathered friends since I always seem to wish I had a slightly different angle of them for this-or-that, but just can't seem to wrap my brain around how to draw the changes. I hope you find these images fun and useful - thanks for stopping by!

For flower and garden photographs in the same format, visit my MudBay Garden blog.

Band-Tailed Pigeon

Lovely, sweet birds in shades of gray. They are quite shy, funny to watch their exaggerated steps and bright yellow feet, and their sweet faces always look like they are "smiling."

Pairs stick close together and will often cuddle on a branch, quietly cooing to each other.

    I LOVE the sounds of pigeons... so much like the doves... their songs and coos are so melancholy ... and yet so soothing! They are such beautiful and peaceful birds!

    Saw my first one ever this a.m. drinking from my fountain after two months of no rain in Grass Valley, CA. Ring seemed slightly yellow and didn't notice black on end of bright yellow beak. Biggest non raptor I've ever seen.
