Lapland Bunting
collected on Newell Island, Alaska, in 1927.
From the Ornithology Collection
The California Academy of Sciences.
I've been privileged to work in some wonderful science collections. I bring a small set and lighting gear, climb the ladders in the egg storage area to find the eggs collected with the nests, carefully arrange and photograph these beauties with high res {Sony} cameras.
My homage to the willows that grace my favorite creek.
I hung it on my studio walls today.
