Inexperienced Heron by Joshua Zhou / Macaulay Library .
Birds are good and colourful; they sing candy melodies; they perch outdoors our home windows to convey us pleasure. They usually… ship a chilly shiver down our spines? It looks like there’s a chicken on the market for each emotion we are able to really feel. So immediately we rejoice the spooky birds—together with not simply evening birds and vultures, however birds that occurred to be captured in an evocative second: a Western Capercaillie “howling on the moon”; a Inexperienced Heron in a scene festooned with spiderwebs, a hummingbird with a decidedly goth sensibility, and lots of extra gems from our Macaulay Library archive. We hope they thrill you (in a great way).
