Description
I have been in love with birds since I attended the John J Audubon Elementary School in Pasadena California. The halls were lined with his original framed artwork and we studied not only the ornithologist himself we learned about the many species in our area. We love birds because they fly, they carry associations of freedom, and spirit on their wings. They communicate in songs that are alien to us and yet musically evocative to our human feelings.
This photo was taken at the bird sanctuary at The Portland Zoo in Oregon many years ago.
