Always love a trip to the museum to sketch. Satisfies so many of my interests, art, sketching, archaeology, ecology, ornithology, paleontology etc. All wrapped up in an enriching, enjoyable environment.

 Common male eider duck. I don't think he's common at at!  He has such beautiful subtle colors, like the pale green on his head.

 This was a second trip to the museum with the Connecticut Sketchers Group. Fabulous afternoon indulging my new fascination with bison.
