Pond at Sapsucker Woods
This photo was taken at the main pond of Sapsucker Woods, home of Cornell University's Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York. On this day in autumn, the main pond featured Canada Geese, Mallard Ducks and brilliant fall foliage in colors of gold, red, yellow, orange and green. The luminous air created an ethereal quality. The water reflections further enhanced the magical feeling of the day.

Nuthatch in the woodland

A busy nuthatch on the trunk of the tree in which she is rearing her young. I really enjoyed watching the pair flying back and forth with beaks full of juicy insects for their young. Matching postage available too.

A long time ago, I painted an unfinished cuckoo clock for my grandmother. She loved blue jays and cardinals, but I also added in the blue jay of the west, the Steller's Jay. Years later I was lucky enough to see them for myself in Yosemite National Park. The first one I saw was off the Panorama Trail, but this one was much closer to civilization near the main lodge.

This Dark-eyed Junco is sitting in a tree during a snow storm. They are year round inhabitants in our upstate New York environment. Mainly ground feeders, they are usually seen and heard twittering under the feeder stations in our back yard.

A Sharp-Shinned Hawk is perched on a branch very close to my bird feeders in upstate New York. He is hoping to catch a meal. This hawk's prey is mostly small birds. Although the "Sharpie" is the smallest hawk in North America, he is a very fierce predator. As soon as I got the photo, I chased him away! This black and white poster is a digital photograph, enhanced to emphasize the dramatic effect of this hunter's fierce nature.

A digital watercolour painting of a Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) sitting on a cherry blossom tree. During courtship, male cardinals feed seeds to the female beak to beak. This painting was inspired by a pair of cardinals whom paid regular visits to the garden whilst I was in Arkansas during the summer of 2009. Available on a range of products in the ArtformTheHeart store.
