Red-winged Blackbird print

The Red-winged Blackbird is a lively little bird who dwells in marshes and wetlands, a lover of watery places and his own territory. His rich call attracts mates who build nests low in cattails and reeds while defending their young from predators. Enjoy this soft and delicate illustration of the male as he greets the morning in rhythmic unison with his neighbors. Your very own Red-winged Blackbird Print was inspired by a bird who joined us for a camp breakfast during an adventure through southern Ohio. Although he eluded the camera many times, our memory of him came to life in an original hand sketch which became the base of this illustration. Using digital painting techniques, each stroke brings the bird to life and carries the feel of an old naturalist print. The carefully placed typography reads his common name, scientific name, and detailed inscriptions resembling scientific drawings. Celebrate this clever fellow in your home or give as a unique gift, knowing its roots were crafted in the very outdoor spaces we all hold close to our hearts.
