I bought this in the greeting card form. I have been purchasing cards from Fine Art America for two or three years. Covid might have been some of the reason for looking for cards on the internet. Shops were closed. The main reason I buy cards from FAA is because I got tired of looking for cards at the usual card shops. I could find cards (sometimes) that looked good on the outside but the verses were terrible or it was the other way around...terrible on the outside but maybe a decent verse inside. I pick cards from FAA that fit with the occasion. I figure I can write something on the inside as good as any card company could. I wouldn't buy these cards if I didn't think they were wonderful. The cards are beautiful and excellent quality and the envelopes are equality as good. I am glad I can make a copy of what I've bought so I can keep track of who gets what card. I don't want to send the same card to someone twice. In this case, the card is going to someone for Mother's Day.

Ridgway's Rail is an endangered species of bird, closely related to the Clapper Rail, that is found mainly along the west coast from San Francisco Bay to Baja California. The species was only recently split off from the California "Clapper Rail" in July of 2014, by the American Ornithological Union. It is a secretive, chicken-sized bird that rarely flies, measuring about 14.5 inches in length. Its bill is orange and slightly down curving, its head, neck and chest is brownish-chestnut colored, and it has a conspicuous white rump. The species is considered endangered or threatened because of the destruction of its coastal and marshland habitat. It forages while walking on mudflats or in shallow water. Ridgway's Rail's preferred food includes mussels, clams, snails, worms, insects and small fish.
This Ridgway's Rail swimming in a shallow tidal inlet was photographed at the Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge, in Imperial Beach, California on 2-28-2016. I used a Nikon D8...
Thank you for your interest in my photographs. My passion for birding and nature has taken me outdoors almost daily whether home in the USA, or on trips in East Africa, Israel, the Caribbean, and Brazil. I've been fortunate enough to have seen and photographed over 1000 species of birds, and I get a lot of satisfaction when I'm able to capture a beautiful and interesting shot and share it with others. I've had the honor of my bird photos recognized in prestigious competitions including "The Top One Hundred" of the Audubon Photo Contest, the "Honored Top 40" of the Nature's Best Backyards Photography Contest, and included in the "Nature's Witness" exhibition of 47 nature photographs (selected from 22,000 entries to the National Wildlife...
