Backyard Blacktails

C. 2019 by Marcia L. Wilson, Acrylic [framed] "Mommie Deerest" and "Li'l Bit" her son who spent summer of 2018 and wintered over in my Oregon Coast Range backyard. They ate sunflower seeds from the wild bird food and stale bread. Natural forage was gone due to climate change drought in the rainforest, Trucked-in Valley hay being too expensive for an artist's budget, hungry Mom always looked for the birdseed sack & would have climbed into the van after it, lacking human intervention.

Artist Reply: Thanks, Joanie! The actual title is Blacktail Family". Hot off the auld easle in time for the county fair. "Mommie Deerest" and "Number One Son" had been hanging out in my yard since last summer. Came winter and they started stripping blackberry whips to stay alive and scarfing up the seed we put out for the wild birds, so I started feeding 'em stale bread. No. 1 Son was finally weaned and disappeared. Mommie dropped a new fawn this spring. I only saw it with her once, but she comes back occasionally for bird seed. (i.e. sunflower seeds.)
