This is November 2016's edition for the Bird Whiperers. He's an Eastern Screech Owl! Owls are beautiful birds that are often surrounded with symbolism in many cultures, representing intuition and wisdom. The Greek goddess Athena is depicted with an owl companion. This handsome fellow looks so stoic amongst the wonderful fall colors of the mountains! The Bird Whisperers is a group of artists painting for their love of birds. Each month we all debut a piece based on the same reference photo.
