Circle Study #8 Grosbeaks, Iris 7 Peony is a digital photograph that includes irises and peonies from my garden and two adult grosbeaks that I have borrowed from the Royal Ontario Museum.

I was once asked by a follower on Instagram: “I can tell you care greatly about creatures and am wondering how you decided to include them in your still life. Also where did you find the birds?”

and this is how I responded:

“I do care about creatures. Maybe i get that from my retired veternaian dad. All of the birds were found in downtown Toronto by volunteers with FLAP Canada. Every morning during migration these people go around the tall office buildings and find migrating birds that have collided with windows. Injured birds are rehabilitated and released north of Toronto. Dead birds are collected and turned over to the Royal Ontario Museum for safekeeping and storage. The ornithologist, Mark Peck, makes these available to scientists and artists. I am so honoured to give these little avian beauties a “second life” in my photographs.”
