A lot of artists depict birds-lately the trend seems to be birds on branches. I guess I am no exception. Living here on the Niagara Escarpment I am privy to their company every day and to be with them (not on branches) in their natural environment is something to behold.
And this is the best time of year as my far-away friends are arriving from their winter vacation - the air is swelling with little voices.

I've already witnessed some territorial wars involving Robins here on the property- the coveted prize? A grapevine ball on the studio porch. Apparently it provides the ideal digs when it comes to nesting..perhaps it is because they can swing back and forth...I know I'd enjoy that.

Reading Michael Stewart's King Crow, and he refers to the Ruthless Robins. These are lovely layerings, by the way.
