Every spring I hear a bird song and try to remember the species. A few weeks a flock of these guys showed up and rather than stalking them through the woods, I got this photo in the driveway! White-crowned Sparrow song according to the Sibley Guide: a lazy feee odi-odi zeeeee zaaaa zooo. HA!
- My first Mothers Day without my Sally Mom, watching Peregrine up the Blackfoot every year. Her Blue Jay card!
My Sandhill Crane sculpture is currently living in the lobby of the Missoula Art Museum until October for the Big Show, Contemporary Folk Animals. Guess who else is in the show? My Mentor, the late Bill Ohrmann!
We just had a new friend Danica drop off some meat for the birds, so I gave her this card of our rehab Raven and my sculpture in the yard, circa 2006.

Watching the Bald Eagle nest through the scope from the house, I knew they were feeding young this week. It's just about the end of that view, with the cottonwood leaves starting to pop. The nest is just above my name, seen from the riverbank. Imagine my delight when two young showed their faces, then a third! This is the fourth time for three chicks since the nest was built in 2011. What fun this will be.
Zootown Arts Community Center at 216 W. Main, downtown Missoula has hosted our art show, "Women Celebrate Birds" this month. Eleven artists are featured, many different mediums, and birds of all kinds! I have 6 etchings, and check it out. Especially now with Jazzoula back live! The ZACC showroom will be the jazz hot spot from Thursday through Sunday, our bird show next door. So Birds and Art and Jazz, who could ask for anything more?!!
Lone Rock Elementary, just down the road and the whole 2nd grade today with teacher Julie Bachman. Top: Maizee was a star, perched for the Junior Zoologists, then group shot with the Penguin (sculpture) and Nico the dog. Earth Day hats on the kids!
