Brambling Finch
5x7.5 watercolor and Brusho on moleskine paper in sketchbook, a variety of finches called brambling. With their brillant coloring they are said to be inhabitants all over. According to Audubon field guide it is "A common finch of Europe and Asia, the Brambling appears regularly in small numbers in Alaska during migration, straying the short distance across the Bering Sea. Some of those that stray across in autumn apparently then continue south on the American side, and there have been winter records for numerous states and provinces east to the Atlantic Coast and south to Colorado. Many of these vagrant Bramblings have been found visiting bird feeders."
