I hope this doesn't duplicate anyone else's post, though it's worth repeating if it does, but Katrina van Grouw's book The Unfeathered Bird has now been completed. All being well, it is due for publication in time for Bird Fair 2012. A quick recap for those who haven't heard of it: this is a book on bird anatomy. Katrina, a Royal College of Art graduate and bird obsessive, has been drawing bird skeletons and muscle structure in appropriate postures e.g. a gannet diving. It promises to be an indispensable resource for all bird artists, and I can't wait to see it published. I've shown the attached image of a rook skeleton here before but, as that was rather a long time ago, here it is to whet your appetites again.</blockquote>
