Snow Drawings by Sonja Hinrichsen.

I'll be the first to admit I'm no fan of snow. But even I am completely enchanted by these snow drawings. Amazing.

Unplug and Go Outside.

Good advice. Lovely print. Part of each sale goes to American Forests. Ace. (Only 20 left, so you'd better hurry.)

Bye bye, winter. Hello, spring.

Taken on the first day of spring this year. I *love* it.


My sis, Colleen, sent this to me yesterday. Her co-worker, Sarah Helding, took it last weekend. Thanks, Sarah!

Your moment of animal zen.

Nothing cheers me up faster or more efficiently than looking at Sharon Montrose's photos in her Etsy shop.

No birds were harmed for this art.

I love it when I see any piece of art that makes me look twice, makes me assume something terrible, then teaches me something really lovely.




Ornithologists now use mist nets instead of shotguns for data that cannot be obtained with the help of binoculars, microphones, or telephoto lenses. These nearly invisible nets are set up like fences and function as huge spider webs, catching unsuspecting birds. The researcher carefully extracts the bird from the net. Each bird is measured, aged, sexed, and banded with an individually numbered anklet (Audubon’s philopatry experiments with Eastern Phoebes was likely the first bird banding done in the United States). Then the bird is released, unharmed.
