For the Birds

On Monday I was up at the Peggy Notebaret Nature Museum in Chicago. It was a delightful day. Shade, a cool breeze, geese and a duck for entertainment. The city, despite its many problems, has done a wonderful job reclaiming some of the wetlands and replanting native flora. It's great to see so many of the native animals return too. There were several beautiful birds, whose names I don't know,  around the pond outside the museum. Their camouflage made them difficult to see let alone draw!

What can I say? I'm a sketcher not a photographer!
