Nest March 25, 2017

Loads of rich green moss

And soft downy rabbit fur

A chickadee nest.

Art Prescription:  It fascinates me that all birds build different nests. Some use twigs and vines, some nest in tree cavities, others build with leaves, moss, fur, and I’ve even seen a snake skin. What a lot of work these winged friends put into their offspring.

Sumi-ink with my chop that says “hope”

Ruby-Crowned Kinglet

Hops about in bare branches

Shows off scarlet head.

Art Prescription:  Went to hike at Mason Farm today. North Carolina beautiful winter day…partly sunny, in the 50’s. Saw lots of birds, among them this adorable Ruby-Crowned Kinglet.
