Something to Crow About

 Did you know crows can recognize faces. They can remember and identify those that they come in contact with.

 Studies and experiments show the unique thinking of crows using tools and solving problems.

 Reflecting on the abilities of birds to mimic and learn maybe we should think about what we are teaching them.

 One interesting fact- crows brain size in relation to it’s body mass exceeds humans.  Bird brain may have a new meaning.

 Here's one of my new paintings for my show in May at Elmaro. Concerns or questions cshoreartwork@gmail.com

We're Here!

 The Humming birds and my show Feather Friends at Elmaro.

Get Real, No Red Dye No. 2

 

When we try to replicate what we think nature needs we often impose our own misconceptions.

Please remember you should not dye your hummingbird food red. Its not needed and can be harmful.

Having  a red container or a decoration in red is enough to catch their eye.

Also use real sugar, no substitutes for hummingbirds.

To honor World Migratory Bird Day in May,       my  display will be featuring the plight and flight of birds.

From messages birds might want to give us  

to   celebrating the seasonal migration of warblers. 

  Birders and Bird fans will enjoy the variety of ways birds

 are portrayed and their impact on our lives.

2023 sightings of Flamingos in Wisconsin?

 

However they got here, who can blame them.

 Summers are hot and muggy in Florida.

The old state visitor slogan 

comes to life when we Wisconsinites

realize what a beautiful state it is. 

As climate changes 

I think we’ll see a few more major moves north.

Worth getting up early...

... when the coffee is right there and the setting is perfect.

 This morning at Red Pines Cafe. Yes a new spot to get up and get going. Right next to their restaurant on Brice Prairie. I'll show the painting after I have a chance to tweek it.

Fish Advisory

Limit 1 Serving per Week.

 

Recommendations on safe limits for human consumption of fish, helps protect us from ingesting too much mercury and other toxins that pollute our waters.

So what are the birds suppose to do. They have no choice, no grocery store to go to or favorite fish monger they trust.

Will we have to create manmade ponds and swimming holes so they have a safe source for their survival?

 Here's one of my new paintings for my upcoming show in May at Elmaro. Hope you can join me Sunday, May 5 from 1-4 for my opening reception.  Concerns or questions cshoreartwork@gmail.com
