Sometimes when I'm in Delta the marsh regions hold lots of wonderful wildlife activities. There's always nesting boxes for the Owls, Tree Swallows and Songbirds which they fearlessly use and occupy for years. In Spring most of the birds will find nests in the hollows of the trees or build ones or weave them in the cattails. I've noticed the Tree Swallows breed usually two times into late summer especially when the food supply is abundant and the fledgelings grow quickly while their nest and parents are rearing another brood of youngsters. My watercolours capture a convenient and quicker moment in the field. I usually study later from those paintings and produce an oil from them.
