Birds of Davenport

On By ResaIn Murals, Nick Sweetman83 Comments

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.

Looks like a Hummingbird on an olive branch,

“To some, sighting a hummingbird signals that challenging times are over and healing can begin.”  

“To others, these tiny fliers are an inspiring sign of hope and good luck.” 

“Hummingbirds also can have a spiritual significance and mean the spirit of a loved one is near.”

The olive branch is a symbol of peace.

I feel there is a great message in this simple wall painting,

… that I found midst a great debris.
