<p>This male Redbellied Woodpecker is one of the locals and one of my favorites. I recognize him because of his unusual "eyebrows", the pale sections by the eyes. Usually, the head is all red there. In the first photo, you can also nicely see the name-giving red belly. Yes, it is just a spot, but apparently another bird had been named Redheaded Woodpecker first (also a gorgeous beauty but rarely visiting here). <a href="/tags/birds/" rel="tag">#birds</a></p>

a robin follows

Robin on a perch is a hand-painted watercolour painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small robin with bright orange breast feathers stands on a square wooden perch and looks around with interest. The bird was painted with loose brushstrokes and the background was left white.
The soft watercolour style gives the overall picture a gentle and dreamy touch.

This work, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art and artwork) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku).
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines.

Robin on a snow covered branch is a watercolor painting in portrait 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 branches 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.
This image is a portrait format detail from my painting Robin in a Winter Landscape, which I painted in landscape format.

<p>even amongst the rebellious throngs of her corvidae crew, the magpie is the DGAF-est of them all. curious, clever, dressed to impress & so resourceful that two tools are all she needs, this charming gobshite will steal your heart every time.<br><a href="/tags/decembird/" rel="tag">#decembird</a> <a href="/tags/magpie/" rel="tag">#magpie</a> <a href="/tags/music/" rel="tag">#music</a> <a href="/tags/punkrock/" rel="tag">#punkRock</a> <a href="/tags/birds/" rel="tag">#birds</a> <a href="/tags/art/" rel="tag">#art</a> <a href="/tags/illustration/" rel="tag">#illustration</a></p>

digital ink drawing shows a eurasian magpie crouched upon a post (that is decorated in pink & black in a way that evokes a punk rock tiger striped motif). the bird seems to be zoomed in on someone or something below. from the beak comes a black zigzag that leads to a speech box in which the words 'punk rock' appear in pink, uppercase, jagged font.

<p>One dozen favorite photos I took in 2025.</p><p>All my photos are taken on my property, often from my window. It may have become trite, but there’s a lot of beauty in the mundane world if you stop to look.<br><a href="/tags/photography/" rel="tag">#photography</a> <a href="/tags/nature/" rel="tag">#nature</a> <a href="/tags/birds/" rel="tag">#birds</a> <a href="/tags/gardening/" rel="tag">#gardening</a> </p><p>(Notes are in the alt tags)<br>1/3</p>

A green heron pauses to preen. I like this one since it highlights the variety of feathers and since there are only 3 elements (dead branch, heron, sky)

A baby raccoon struggles to climb a stone step to be with its two siblings. Adorbs. The pack of 4 broke into my yard while mom was sleeping. She wasn’t pleased when she showed up since she’s super shy of humans. I left so she could get them.

A red-breasted merganser swimming by. This is a fav because I got a decent take on the feather coloring and textures, but mainly because of the drop of water.

A red-breasted woodpecker opts to leap from one branch to another rather than use its wings. I posted four sequential photos a few days ago. I was certain I’d get some spreading of wings. Instead, I got a unique leap.

Robin in the Blue is a watercolor painting in contemporary square format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A little robin sits on a branch and looks to the right. The background is abstract in light blue with loose brushstrokes and splashes of colour. The orange-red breast of the little bird stands out as an eye-catcher for the viewer due to the color contrast with the background.

"Birders often struggle to tell my species apart from another similar-looking—but no-longer considered as closely related as first thought—bird of prey. Notice my rounded tail feathers and capped head; what juvenile North American hawk am I?"

Image description:
A high-resolution, vertical close-up photo of a juvenile bird of prey perched on a thin black metal fence loop. The hawk is facing away from the camera but has its head turned sharply to the left, looking back over its shoulder with a piercing yellow eye. Its feathers are a mix of brown and grey with prominent white spots on its back and wings. The long, straight tail features thick, horizontal dark brown and light grey bands.

<p>squeezing in one last decembird with this loquacious lad, gary nubird. the starling is rarer & rarer in scotland; so, sadly, i've never had the distinct honour of hearing one bust out a classic electro riff. i'll bet they do it all the time, though, with their little customised roland tr-808s. <br><a href="/tags/decembird/" rel="tag">#decembird</a> <a href="/tags/birds/" rel="tag">#birds</a> <a href="/tags/starling/" rel="tag">#starling</a> <a href="/tags/electro/" rel="tag">#electro</a> <a href="/tags/music/" rel="tag">#music</a> <a href="/tags/electronic/" rel="tag">#electronic</a> <a href="/tags/art/" rel="tag">#art</a> <a href="/tags/illustration/" rel="tag">#illustration</a></p>

<p>Acrobat Eater.</p><p>Mit der Schwanzmeise ins Wochenende.</p><p><a href="/tags/geschichtenausdemgarten/" rel="tag">#GeschichtenAusDemGarten</a> <a href="/tags/birds/" rel="tag">#birds</a> <a href="/tags/birdphotography/" rel="tag">#birdphotography</a> </p><p>Statt ALT Text: Es folgen 4 Fotos einer Schwanzmeise im Pflaumenbaum. Während sie mit dem rechten Füßchen an einem dünnen Zweig hangelt, knabbert sie wie es scheint ganz entspannt an einem Nussstückchen, das sie mit dem linken Fuß, der schwerelos in der Luft baumelt, sicher festhält. So etwas hatte ich tatsächlich noch nie gesehen.</p>

<p>Hi <a href="/tags/portfolioday/" rel="tag">#PortfolioDay</a>! </p><p>I'm Karen, an artist from Germany who works with traditional media - watercolor, ink, soft pastels, acrylic...<br>For me, inspiration is everywhere, especially in beautiful nature. My favorite subjects are animals - cats, birds, flowers, landscapes and colorful abstracts.</p><p>Find my work here:</p><p><a href="https://karen-kaspar.pixels.com/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>karen-kaspar.pixels.com/</a></p><p><a href="https://karenkaspar.artheroes.de/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>karenkaspar.artheroes.de/</a></p><p><a href="https://karenkaspar.pictorem.com" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>karenkaspar.pictorem.com</a></p><p><a href="https://KarenKaspar.redbubble.com" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>KarenKaspar.redbubble.com</a></p><p><a href="https://karen-kaspar-fine-art.jimdosite.com/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="karen-kaspar-fine-art.jimdosite.com/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">karen-kaspar-fine-art.jimdosit</span><span class="invisible">e.com/</span></a> </p><p><a href="/tags/fedigiftshop/" rel="tag">#FediGiftShop</a> <a href="/tags/art/" rel="tag">#art</a> <a href="/tags/artist/" rel="tag">#artist</a> <a href="/tags/buyintoart/" rel="tag">#BuyIntoArt</a> <a href="/tags/painting/" rel="tag">#painting</a> <a href="/tags/cats/" rel="tag">#cats</a> <a href="/tags/birds/" rel="tag">#birds</a></p>

Collage of five of my paintings (clockwise): 1. A small black cat peeks curiously out from behind a group of colorful pumpkins and gourds. The pumpkins come in different shapes, colours and sizes. Only the head and one front paw of the cute kitten behind it can be seen.
2. View from the Top of the Mountain is a hand-painted watercolor painting by artist Karen Kaspar in landscape format. From the mountain summit, the viewer's gaze sweeps over the surrounding mountain ranges of the Bavarian Alps. The tranquil landscape features multiple layers of mountains that gradually fade from rich greens in the foreground to softer blues in the background.
3. A black and white Tuxedo cat stands in front of a dreamy abstract background in various shades of blue and gazes curiously upwards. Soft, loose, abstract brushstrokes create a sense of depth and movement around the cat.
4. Robin in Colors - A European Robin stands amidst splashes of vibrant colors on a plain creamy white background. The bird's bright orange breast contrasts beautifully with its darker feathers. The colours of the plumage are repeated in the splashes of colour in the abstract background.
5. A female sparrow with soft, fluffy plumage sits on a slender branch. The cute little bird is looking to the right. The delicate feathers of the little bird are painted in different shades of brown with loose, soft brushstrokes. The background is painted abstractly in warm brown, purple and earthy tones.
