Artist Reply: We always have bird feeders out here, to attract the birds, in the original print, there is more detail than shows here, i think, but having only been doing this for so long, i thought the expression on the animal was good, feathers all wet and puffed out, the thought when i first saw it myself, was just a different kind of life, by that i just mean, what life must be like more for the bird itself.. judging by the look of him/her (i didn't check)
