ART shapes our view of nature more than we realise. I know far too many of
the neighbourhood sparrows, crows and starlings. However, visits from the local
finches, woodpeckers and blue jays are a welcome treat, and the occasional swan
on the local river is a sight for sore eyes. I’ve seen a turkey vulture dining
on highway road kill, and peered at a flock of cormorants perched on a dead
tree. But the rarer the sighting, the more fleeting, so I turn to pictures for a
better look.
