Isolation Series: A Bird's-eye View

A Bird's-eye View
11x14 marker and ink on paper

The trees behind our home are flush with activity and noise.  The songbirds are hard at it: nesting, singing; vying for territory, protective.  My mornings begin with their songs, typically delightful - unless it’s a repetitive crow “caw” or a blue jay’s rusty blast. I watch these birds as I drink my first coffee, wonder at their survival skills, and marvel at their constant activity.  I only notice doves resting. (Do the others?) My take away from my early morning, foggy-eyed glances of the backyard birds is that of adopting a bird’s-eye view as time carries on. New perspectives always help.
