Summer 2010

This Summer 2010 issue celebrates wildfowl with striking personalities. From the California Open's palm frond decoys of brilliant blue peacocks to the incredibly long bills of particularly distinctive shorebirds, these articles will bring you up close and personal with some of your favorite species. Even the decoys are given a little extra character by Frank Werner's use of variation, and the painting techniques applied to the grosbeak and the cardinal will have you racing to your studio.
