In June 2012, I had the great fortune to visit Trinidad and Tobago in a group that included birder and artist Matthew Dodder. Matthew began birding (and drawing birds) as a boy in Boston, during the Great Blizzard of 1977. Enter John Muir Laws. There is something quite natural about wanting to do this.

As bird lovers, we’re happy that laws exist to protect birds, and that people are especially looking after protected species. But sometimes, what’s best for the birds and what’s best for the humans collide. The birds nest in the span, which is being replaced by a new bridge.

There were no dead birds for weeks. ©2012 Donna L.

Of the birds I encountered this weekend, the one I was most excited about was the Rough-legged Hawk that claims territory near my mother-in-law’s home some winters. Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was a Barred Owl in Central Park, the only remaining one from the three that were discovered about a week ago.

I first encountered Molly Hashimoto’s bird art in California. Hashimoto’s prints and water color bird portraits differ in materials and style from Harper, but she shares with him a talent for portraying common birds in a lively, accessible, yet new way that belies the artistic processes employed to create the finished image.
