Kept thinking about doing this while playing with the grandkids in middle Georgia: "should do a bunch of quick thumbnails of their black hen." This is one of a couple pages that could'a gone on until the pen was dry. A hen cuts a classic figure. The hen came with the house when they moved; it also came with a black cat that turned into 2 black cats. They were identical cats but until they both showed up at the same time nobody knew. The hen, I think, got air lifted out by a "chicken hawk" and has since been replaced by a number of others and a roof over the chicken coop.
Done in a 5" x 9" scetch pad. The notes remind me that the hen laid its first egg while we were there. It was green. The hen's head was dark red. Also listed are some of the less common birds we saw while in the area. One, the Northern Harrier, was not, I am sure, the hawk that got "Blackie" the chicken.
