Thank you for the lovely words! I learned to appreciate birds when I volunteered at City Wild Life and their program Lights Out DC. Then I got my guides and everything, but I have been slow to pick them again. But now I have kids! Perhaps I could pass along that curiosity too :)

Ah yes, thanks for the reminder. I just uploaded it to the shop!

🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for the kind words !

Hi! You can get prints and postcards at my shop, and you can also find them at Shop Made in DC, Steadfast, Tabletop in Takoma, Penny Post in Alexandria and a bunch of Smithsonians :)

Dinosaurs = birds close enough

It’s me, yes! Thank you for your support:)

You won’t fool me, Tiny Horse! 👀

All dressed up and nowhere to go?

Much appreciated!

Many thanks! 🙏

After a 6-year transformation of the 1928 building, National Zoo’s Bird House reopens on March 13. The exhibition highlights the journeys of migratory songbirds, waterfowl and shorebirds integral to North, Central, and South American ecosystems.

The original entrance was preserved and the exhibition built within the walls of the Zoo’s historic Bird House. The towering mosaic is made with polychrome concrete and is imbedded with glass and colored marbles. It was designed and fabricated by local artisan John Joseph Early.

In the illustration, a pair of barred owls, bronze turkeys and a shorebird walk the space in their best attires.
