Two sandhill crane paintings in my Pentalic 'Nature Sketch' sketchbook 130# paper. I know this paper is a little punky, but I thought it would be a good chance to use up some of this paper since sandhill cranes are rather soft in color and detail anyway.

Elva: #55, 56 and 57 Yellowstone Birds
Two sandhill crane paintings in my Pentalic 'Nature Sketch' sketchbook 130# paper. I know this paper is a little punky, but I thought it would be a good chance to use up some of this paper since sandhill cranes are rather soft in color and detail anyway.
White-throated swifts are one of my favorite Yellowstone birds. They are the size of swallows but fly even faster. I never see them perching, just zooming in and out of the cracks in a tall cliff where they nest. The only way to actually see them is to succeed in photographing them .... a challenge too!
