Again, I feel like I'm cheating my own goal, because I drew this quick little sketch last December as I was mulling over some ideas for graphic designs that only bird geeks would get. This one is of a Carolina Wren, which sings "Tea Kettle Tea Kettle Tea Kettle." Although if you ask me, it actually sings it backwards, "Kettle Tea Kettle Tea Kettle Tea..." I had all sorts of other ideas for designs based on what birds "say" when they call or sing - maybe I'll resurrect those ideas this year, who knows?
Anyway, the little Carolina Wren we have only seen in - gasp - North Carolina. Very cute little bird with the unmistakable wren-like stripe along the head. They always seemed very busy, twitching about on tree limbs upside down and every which way, foraging for bugs and gathering twigs for nests.
Suzy, I'm very glad to see you posting again. It's reassuring to me that you are not working all morning BEFORE you go to work. I think we should try to see the COSTA RICA WREN next..wonder where we might find one?

I like this style a lot.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the actual size? media?
It looks like a wood-cut even. I wouldn't describe this as a sketch; it looks very finished.
