Medium
Painting - Oil On Birch Panel
Description
This oil painting shows the subspecies of Whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus hudsonicus) that occurs in North America, called the Hudsonian Curlew, in my youth, a relative of the then critically endangered, and smaller, now extinct, Eskimo Curlew (N. borealis). Scientists decided that the Hudsonian Curlew was the same species as a very similar large sandpiper found in Eurasia, called the Whimbrel. That name took precedence. North American birds were thereafter to be called Whimbrels. The painting, approximately life-size, is in oils on Russian birch and is about 16 X 20 inches. $800.00
