Description It's quite amazing to watch, but certain birds will continually throw perfectly good seed on the ground....UNTIL
they find their perfect seed. The woodpeckers are the worst wasters. I just had to break out of this boring rectangle,
using Wasted Seed. Grackles usually aren't such wastrels!
Watercolor on an Arches full sheet, trimmed a bit horizontally. Image size: 26.5x14" (spillage included) RCG
THANKS for FAVing and Commenting!!! Richard

They are beautiful....however much food they waste...It's a lovely  painting Dick!!Ilike the rectangle escaping seeds

Our tiny birds throw seeds away...and the wood pigeons wait underneath the feeder for it coming down...We have very fat,happy woodpigeons!!!

THANKS TRISH....they are not the worst wasters. When Blue Jays fly to the platform,
recently freshly 'seeded', their wings flapping, blow off a ton of seed. Good thing there
are the bottom feeders, who wait on the ground for spilled seed. Along with the squirrels, mice
etc etc.....turkeys, too. THANKS for your grand support....

THANKS so much Bear....I read in the Eden Prairie News
yesterday, that the 'authorities' will take NO action to eradicate
the growing population of Coyotes seen here in EP. My heart sang!!!
They are seen as a benefit to the environment ~ helping to keep the
mouse/rabbit population down, and bugs in geneeral.  Just to keep
ones' dogs/ cats on a leash, as is the law......
