The First Egg This Spring


This morning started early for the blues and I caught a quick glimpse her flying out.


We immediately put up the "Sparrow Spooker" (which I thought was already ready but was missing a few key parts which I rushed to put together). I was worried how the blues would react to the spooked but within 5 minutes the female landed and went right in. The male, however, wasn't sure about the spooker and attacked and pulled at the streamers. It was pretty funny and it was also pretty nice to see how aggressive this male is.

Redfish Tail Linocut

The weather outside is awful and it has forced me into the studio. The dogs joined me and while they wrestled and played around I finished up a linocut I had been wanting to work on.
