Artist's Comments: For me the gift of flight is what makes birds so fascinating, and the Royal Albatross is a
phenomenal creature to watch as it cruises the air currents above the vast ocean waters.  I observed these
albatross in New Zealand where a nesting colony lures them briefly back to earth from their 11,000 mile
wanderings upon nine foot wingspans across the southern seas.

Artist's Comments:  During the breeding season a colony of Least Terns is roped off by the Trustees of
Reservations on Crane's Beach just a fifteen minute drive from where I live.  Weighing just one
ounce, these small terns migrate from the northern coast of South America to lay their
eggs in a slight depression scraped in the sand.

Artist's Comments:  How fast do a hummingbird's wings beat? 
The answer is more than twenty times per second.  Multiplied by
one minute, that number soars to 1200.  In one hour, a hummingbird
may beat its wings a staggering 72,000 times.  Their rate energy
consumption is legendary.  In this painting a male Rufous Hummingbird
has been perching on a limb resting briefly in the sunshine - before
dashing off to  refuel on calorie-rich nectar.

Artist's Comments:  Turnstones are named for their habit of turning over stones and other
debris along the ocean's shoreline as they search for food.  They've been clocked at 25 - 35 miles
per hour, and fly far north to the Arctic to nest and raise their young.  I happened to be
standing on a beach at Fort De Soto State Park in Florida when I saw these three individuals fly past.

Artist's Comments:  Everyday spent in my studio I observe these doves feeding outside the
large window to my left.  Any sudden movement from me always causes them to "explode"
upward, sometimes a dozen at a time.  Mourning Doves are abundant here in New England,
benefiting from the broken forest of developed areas where they haunt the clearings
and take advantage of birdseed scattered on the ground beneath bird-feeders.

Artist's Comments:  Outside my studio window during the autumn and winter
months a close flock of chickadees, nuthatches, and titmice visit my feeding stations every
few hours from dawn till dusk.  Their movements are constant, always fluttering,
landing, and taking off in a hurry.  Chickadees beat their wings up to 27 times per second. 
By day, even in the coldest weather, they maintain a body temperature of 107 degrees, 
meaning their energy demands are high, but at night they conserve calories by dropping it to 86.

Artist's Comments:  When a Downy Woodpecker finishes searching one tree trunk it "dives"
downward and over to the next.  In its search for food the woodpecker uses its extremely
long worm-like tongue to probe nooks & crannies in the bark for insects.  
I hang a wire basket of suet to keep these birds coming back to my feeding area.
