A CALLING OF BIRDS
It is almost impossible to notice when there are fewer birds in the sky. There are some places where dramatic change is very visible, like a forest or a lake. With birds, partly by their very nature of being creatures of the air, it's not as easy to notice. In an ever more volatile ecosystem, birds are some of the first animals to feel the effects from pollution and the changes in global temperatures.
We at the Elisabeth Jones Art Center would like to make it easier for you to recognize our aerial friends and their precious environment. A Calling of Birds is an ongoing project to do just that.
For this exhibition, the bird in peril is the Marbled Murrelet.
