Artwork Description:

.. Heard this 'new' loud bird voice.. melodic shreek like sound.. thought, oh no... the cats.. I have two in back yard, which they chose as their refuge since years (caught them and had them 'fixed, so no more strays and suffering on the streets behind).. Well.. it is in their 'nature' to hunt .. and birds are their whisker twitch-, claw cramp-, tail tip move- delight.. I was really worried.. and after a while of eye-search.. I found him.. wayy up in my apricot tree.. winter season in California.. He kept up his 'sound'.. I tried to copy (do that pretty good with some birds, including crows and hawks).. And then it 'hit' me.. forget their sound.. get camera!! I moved inside.. grabbed the camera I have always ready.. and hoped he would be there.. and he was... trrrrrr.... trrrr... trrr... working with his strong good sized beak on places in the branches.. I slowly raised my camera.. took a while to focus and get him in the lens... and 'got' him.... And now.. You do ;-) Looked at my i-photo library and found composition as well as hues interesting.. so.. there is a small series of three from this photo, I used as base..
