Guia De Campo Kaufman: A Las Aves Norteamericanas

Woodcock Trilogy 1: Felted Woodcock On Nest

Three artist friends. One wonderfully odd bird.

For the past several years, Robin Janson, Shari McCollough, and Rhiannon Thunnel have challenged each other to interpret the same bird species through their own artistic medium. This year's muse is the unforgettable American Woodcock, a bird famous for its oversized eyes, long bill, awkward charm, and cult following among birders everywhere.

Robin Janson brings the woodcock to life through detailed needle felting, capturing the bird nestled among leaves and eggs with remarkable warmth and texture. The piece feels both playful and deeply natural, like stumbling upon a secret woodland moment hidden beneath the forest floor.

The American Woodcock holds a special place in Indiana Dunes Birding Festival history, appearing in past festival artwork and even serving as a festival logo. It is a bird that inspires affection almost instantly. Equal parts elegant and absurd, which honestly makes it perfect.

This item is part of the Woodcock Art Trilogy, with companion pieces created in watercolor and blown glass by fellow artists in this collaborative challenge series.

Woodcock Watercolor by Shari McCollough

Three artists. Three mediums. One beloved little forest oddball.

For the past few years, artist friends Robin Janson, Shari McCollough, and Rhiannon Thunnel have shared a creative tradition, each selecting the same bird species and interpreting it through their own artistic style. This year, they chose the American Woodcock, one of the most recognizable and delightfully strange birds of the Indiana dunes and beyond.

In this original watercolor, Shari McCollough captures the soft texture, earthy tones, and gentle personality of the woodcock with beautiful detail and warmth. The painting highlights the bird's iconic oversized eye and long bill while giving it an almost storybook presence.

The American Woodcock has become something of a mascot among Indiana birders and has even appeared in past Indiana Dunes Birding Festival artwork and branding. It is a bird that inspires smiles, double takes, and probably more "what exactly am I looking at?" reactions than almost any other species in the woods.

This watercolor is part of the Woodcock Art Trilogy, alongside companion felted and blown glass interpretations created by the two collaborating artists.

Planting Native to Attract Birds to Your Yard by Sharon Sorenson

Sorenson gives state-specific recommendations for 31 Eastern U.S. states-including and east of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana to the East Coast, and from the Canadian border to the Gulf Coast-for native plants that support birds during the four seasons. The book covers the full gamut of native plants-nearly 200 species of trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, and perennials-and gives details on why specific plants are bird friendly and how to choose plants that work successfully in attractive home landscapes. It also includes dramatic color photos of nearly 70 bird species.

The text directly opposite the plates concisely describes each bird's habitat and key physical, behavioral, and vocal characteristics.
