I was on the beach photographing a huge flock of Red-winged Blackbirds up by the eagles across the river when this Sharp-shinned Hawk flew in and landed or a second or two, chasing two killdeer. Got this (terrible exposure) shot, no time to change camera settings, oh well. What a weird background color! She'll be back, maybe.
Back inside working on the smaller printing press (too cold in the studio over the garage) and finished this one on Christmas. An experiment with water soluble pastel background run through the press, then a bunch of stuff to finish it off. "Flathead Lake Osprey" is inspired by summer trips to Wildhorse Island with best pal Barry Gordon. His rustic cabin included an Osprey nest overhead and friendly birds breeding every year. R.I.P Barry, this in his honor. 8 x 12". That makes a dozen this year if you include the Red Fox on New Years Eve!
