"Birds will give you a window, if you allow them. They will show you secrets from another world - fresh vision that, though it is avian, can accompany you home and alter your life. They will do this for you even if you don't know their names - though such knowing is a thoughtful gesture. They will do this for you if you watch them." ~ Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds

Finally! A Bird!
OK, maybe not, but it used to be a bird... surely that counts for something.
Last night in class we got about 20 minutes to make a preliminary measured drawing of a chicken skull, from life, life-sized. This guy, nicknamed "zen chicken" for his peacefully rounded skull and beak, is about 3 inches wide.
