This piece has garnered quite a bit of attention,  as it isn't your typical bird on a branch painting. The Redwing Blackbird is tangled in a mist net, ready to be banded.

As we all know, birds benefit from the banding that goes on to monitor their populations, and provide additional help through habitat preservation, hunting regulations etc. Although it may be stressful for them initially, once handled, most birds become very docile.  When all is done, they have added to the valuable knowledge that benefits them all.
