On my walk this evening I reflected on the marvel of living on the
Niagara escarpment and being in the midst
of such varied bird species.
Hawks are playing in the thermal winds, I am seeing the yellow flashes of finches lighting up the thickets, the red-winged blackbirds scold me, the mockingbirds are-mocking, cardinals show off for mates and the bobolinks will be back soon to nest.
The air is filled and I love it.
Wonderful piece! Did you put real feathers in the work? I do like birds of all kinds and this is really lovely with an interesting design element.
ReplyDeletethanks Rhonda-yes, they are real feathers . i found them in the field-as I frequently do-don't know if a starling was attacked by a hawk or cat-mind you I just found a cat carcass and I don't know if IT was attacked by a hawk or coyote-regardless, the little lives mustn't be sacrificed in vain-hence my pockets are always open to art possibilities on daily field walks!
