Blackbirds III, 2021

from $75.00

LIMITED EDITION PRINT - Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge is a critical wetlands area along the Rio Grande floodplain in central New Mexico where each winter thousands of Sand Hill Cranes, Snow Geese and a significant variety of other birds gather for the season, including Red-winged, Yellow-headed, and Brewer's Blackbirds. Certain species of birds, particularly during the winter months, congregate into large flocks that can soar and swirl around in the air, acting as a single unit, forming incredibly shapes that are in constant transformation. This behavior is referred to as "murmuration". At Bosque del Apache in December of 2021, me as a passive observer just sitting on the ground, these murmurating blackbirds swooped through and around me, the sound of their beating wings a loud, overwhelming auditory experience.

This is one of a series of four prints, each capturing these murmurating blackbirds at Bosque del Apache in December of 2021, using variously slow shutter speeds to best capture the experience of being literally inside of their "murmuration".
