Desperately Seeking


Desperately seeking nesting place !  Sketch by Meera Rao 

On Feb 27th,  at a parkinglot, saw a bird check out the tailpipe of a car while its mate(?)was following faithfully.  Just a second or two and then they were gone !! There was no time to take a pic but  my Strathmore 400 series Toned gray paper sketchbook in hand - memory still fresh and the car still parked, I quickly sketched it using a bic ballpoint pen with multicolors in ink and a white pastelpencil. I had just enough time to record what I saw :) Later I discovered the internet has many stories of birds nesting in tailpipes if the car had not been moved a while during spring !!!
