Rats ...

Today I spent all my drawing time working in the yard – it sorely needs it. I heard that if we have opossums (we do), then we won't have rats... I hope that's true. My red-tail hawk is decomposing in a big stinky way... it's hard to be outside with him. His body has relaxed and his wings are swooping down to the ground. Still very beautiful. I'm fascinated by his wings and look forward to the revelation of his interior (bone, ligament, structure).
