I’m printing a white-tailed ptarmigan this morning. They are high elevation Rocky Mountain birds that turn white in winter and a mottled brown in summer. This one is moulting- transitioning between colors.

New linocut ‘Blue’ on beautiful Awagami paper. See photos here- www.jillbergman.com/shop/blue

In the blue of the evening,
when other colors wash down,
to sleep in cracks of the earth,
we lose sight of some details,
but sense the greater picture.

Great blue herons are my favorite birds- both elegant and gangly. This one was framed and is migrating from Colorado to beachy Texas.
