Rochester Wall Therapy 2013

We headed down to the Rochester Public Market to see Wall Therapy that was done last year and were hoping to see some of the artists in action this year. The two artists below were working at other spots in Rochester (near Natural Oasis on Monroe and a bakery on South Ave.) The exact locations are in the link is at the end of the post. For the 2012 murals, we had trouble getting around cars and people, so the framing is not ideal, but you can see how great they are.

It's worth checking out the progress they've both made with these murals.

Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher 

Savannah Sparrow 

Piping Plover found by Jim Pawlicki at Batavia Wastewater Pant. This lost soul is from the endangered Great Lakes population-hatched in 2012 at Tawas State Park in Michigan. Note the bands.

Veery 

New York Warblers

    Slowly but surely I'm cobbling together a decent enough Spring list and a few pictures to go with. These were all taken around Rochester, NY: Owl Woods, Island Cottage, West Spit and Firehouse Woods. 

Black-throated Blue

 Catherine and I didn't think there was a bird rustling around on the floor, or just couldn't be bothered with looking at the ground, but clearly, this Ovenbird was pissed at Brooke for stepping on its kicks.
