Birdcassos Team Report

On Wednesday April 7, the Birdcassos spread out across the county to draw, paint and sketch as many birds as possible in a single day. This book captures the stories of artists Mary Ann Allen, Matthew Dodder, Leena Khanzode, Carolyn Knight, Barry Langdon-Lassagne, Audry Nicklin, Shweta Shidhore, Cristina Thorson, Mary Wisnewski and Floy Zittin along with a few enthusiastic children: Sava, Ellis, Rahna and Rohan all of whom created their art in their unique and individual style. In all, the team created representations of 96 different species of local birds. A great feat!

Here’s a taste of what’s inside…
