Migrants at Hillman's Marsh Tank Top

Hillman’s Marsh is located just north of Point Pelee National Park in extreme south-western Ontario, and is managed to provide habitat for migratory shorebirds and other wildlife. There are flat fields, called cells, in which crops are grown, and then flooded, providing very shallow water and mudflats ideal for many bird species. I’ve painted a scene from there showing a three Blue-winged Teal (Spatula discors), which breed in the region, plus some resting Black-bellied Plover (Pluvialis squatarola), which nests mostly above the Arctic Circle, and some smaller Dunlin (Calidris alpina), which also nests in the high latitudes around the world. The painting is in oils on Russian birch and is approximately 18 by 36 inches. $1500.00. Sold
