Spring 2024



Sandhill Cranes
Photo by Linda, February 2024
On our drive home from my show in Tulsa, OK (NatureWorks) we made the slight detour to the Platte River in Nebraska. There we were greeted by more than 200,000 sandhill cranes (count by the Crane Trust) as they stopped over on their way north. Impressive! It was hard to keep one’s eyes off of these magnificent birds, but I was thrilled to spot a pair of meadowlarks as we watched the cranes.

BUILDING A PAINTING
For a number of years I’ve wanted to paint a piece showcasing the landscape where the Pryor Mountain wild horses roam. Below you can see some of my photos in progress.

Fall 2023



Steller's Jay
Photo by Linda, Oct. 2023
The weather in Spokane was just right to make some of the best fall colors we have seen in years. Our sunflower seed feeder and suet hanger, which are usually a hub for smaller birds, have seized the attention of some larger visitors. Steller’s jays, northern flickers, and magpies have joined the crowd! Fortunately, the nuthatches, chickadees, and finches are not bothered by the antics of the larger birds grabbing a snack from feeders not designed for their size.
