Sketch, eh

timesosprey Earl Plato
Like to sketch? Like to sketch birds? I’ve got the perfect place - the second floor of the Buffalo Museum of Science. Take your sketch pad and find an appropriate mounted bird specie and take a seat. I have sketched an osprey perched on a branch. I have visited this ornithological section many times. It’s usually a very quiet place. The late Fort Erie naturalist, Bert Miller, encouraged me to draw birds. I was only ten years old but that early start stayed. I still sketch. Encourage your children and grandchildren to sketch. Why not?
