    Jomo's Sketchbook

    I'm flying out to Prince Edward Island this Saturday for a week of touring around the Maritimes (my first visit to the Canadian end of the east coast), so I figured this would be a good opening for my own thread. I'll be travelling with a non-birder friend, so I'm not sure how much sketching...

So I was quite elated last night when, after one of these encounters, I...

    Birds In Art

    Just got the latest 'Birds in Art' exhibit catalogue in the mail yesterday. I ordered last year's catalogue with it as well (five Chris Bacon reproductions I'd never seen before -- I'm in heaven!). I'd expected them to be flimsy little magazine-style publications, but they're actually nicely...
