Birds of Davenport

On By ResaIn Murals, Nick Sweetman

Or as I call them, Nick’s Birds.

After all, Nick painted them.

First up is the Black & White Warbler.

Then we have the Blue Jay.

White-breasted Nuthatch

As one can see in the header, the birds are painted in a curved semi amphitheatre seating area. It semi-surrounds the entrance to the Davenport Subway station. Hence The Birds of Davenport.

I also took the mural in sections. The first section features the first six birds; up to the Red Breasted Grosbeak. Above – Cedar Waxwing

Northern Flicker

Red Breasted Grosbeak

The 5 birds after the Grosbeak are:

The White-throated Sparrow

Scarlet Tanager

Ruby-throated Hummingbird

European Starling

Red-tailed Hawk

And the last 5

House Finch (personal love)

The Ruby-crowned Kinglet

A Turkey Vulture

Blackburnian Warbler

And finally, the Common Grackle.

  4. I give up….these works of art just keep astounding me. At least I recognised the bird in picture two (watching the baseball recently helped).
    And i prefer this bird takeover than the one in Alfred Hitchcock’s film.

  5. What a stunning mural to greet commuters and those passing by! It’s so colorful. Hard to pick a favorite, but I like that the white-throated sparrow seems to be caught in song, and the red-tailed hawk in flight. They’re all birds we have around here, too.
