Did someone say #MarshMadness? Yes, yes they did!
Sandhill cranes are the largest species of crane in North America. Here are a few dozen in the shallows on Sauvie Island, north of Portland, Oregon in January of this year. They are migrating through and depend on wetlands for quality food sources and to rest up before the next leg of their journey.

The birds on the wing had been in the marsh in the foreground and took to the air when a pair of bald eagles landed in a tree behind us. At 0:09 you can hear the eagles shrieking and chirping. The cranes landed farther away where a larger group was standing.

From #SauvieIsland, just north of Portland where the #WillametteRiver flows into the #ColumbiaRiver. We were fortunate to be there between rain showers. We also had excellent views of #BaldEagle, #HarrierHawk, #Kestrel, #SnowGoose, #Shoveler, #Widgeon, #CanvasBack, #Coot, #Swan, #Egret, and #GreatBlueHeron.

We went to see the winter birds in #SauvieIsland, most especially the #SandhillCranes. They are the largest species of crane in North America and their distinctive call is haunting. We also saw #BaldEagle, #HarrierHawk, #Kestrel, #SnowGoose, #CanadaGoose, #Coot, #ScrubJay, #RedwingBlackbird, #WesternMeadowlark, and a few others. What a gorgeous day!
If you go, don't forget to buy a wildlife parking permit at the store next to the bridge.

A quick #watercolor in my #sketchbook based on a photo I took on #SauvieIsland.
I'm playing around with #maskingfluid for the first time. Sometimes I don't have time to do an oil painting so I enjoy doing these little practice paintings in my sketchbook.

4 x 10 oil on board
Another one from #SauvieIsland
I decided to go back to what was working when I first started painting again about a year ago. Much happier with how this turned out today.

5 x 7 oil on linen panel
This was from a photo I took in the summer of 2020 during a trip to Sauvie Island before I had started painting again.
