Painting the Grasshopper Sparrow. They have such intricate patterns which help keep them camouflaged on the ground and in the grass. When I’m walking in the Everglades, I often don’t see them until I’m about 10ft away and they make a short flight to another spot where they disappear again!

Owl Ornaments. All species native to Florida. Carved out of basswood and painted with acrylic paints. #owls #ornaments #birdart
