Grackles can get bossy at the feeder at times. In their defense, they seem to be a little less belligerent than the jays... of course, what isn't?

Another great drawing, Matt! Having grown up in PA, grackles were the ubiquitous 'trash bird' that pervaded everything outdoors. Out here in the Pacific NW, the occasional vagrant that shows up draws crowds - same thing with Gray Catbirds, at least on my side of the mountains. Location is everything...

Great job on the Corgi's - a breed we're strongly considering for our next 'kids' after our current two geriatric Labs pass on. You've captured the sparkle in their eye - their love of life that is always there but not to the hyperactive extent that some breeds have.

I would guess the commissioners are quite happy with this. It sure seems to capture their personality.

The client was really pleased. The corgis are great dogs. Very affectionate dogs. They do need exercise and something to occupy them mentally or they can get bored. Kids are the natural solution to that problem.

Spring is trying to happen in Michigan. The squirrels and chipmunks are getting busy.

We' are enjoying the spring chorus of numerous frogs here in Michigan. The quack-like call of the wood frog is always a favorite. Here is a pencil drawing one of the bandit masked singers I found in our backyard.

Great frog drawing, Matt! Out here, we have Pacific chorus frogs (tiny little things with a huge voice output relative to the size). You can be a foot away from them and not find them even when they're sounding off like mad. We put in a small recirculating stream with a shallow pond a couple years ago, and every year at this time, the six or so that frequent the area of the stream are chorusing away right under our bedroom window. We've gotten used to them, but not sure about the neighbors...!

somehow you always make frogs look beautiful Matty.
