Forty years ago, while salmon fishing with my brother on Kachemak Bay in Alaska, I saw a pair of Bald Eagles with their talons clasped together falling out of the sky! I assumed they were in a battle to the death. Far from it! The “ Death Spiral”, as it is known, is actually a mating ritual. Courting eagles clasp talons as they tumble together hundreds or thousands of feet toward earth. Sometimes the couples fail the test of their mutual trust and compatability. But most of the time they succeed and are mates for life. “ Life Spiral” captures a single moment of this beauty and trust.

Watch Hill has a history rich with shorebirds. Napatree Point is the southernmost and westernmost point of mainland Rhode Island. It extends 1.5 miles west into Little Narragansett Bay from Watch Hill. The area has been formally designated a “Globally Important Bird Area” by the National Audubon Society. Each Fall tens of thousands of shorebirds use the point as a resting site during their southern migration. The workshop focused on local and migrant shorebirds of Rhode Island. Peter has exhibited his Wildlife Sculpture in Rhode Island for the past 50 years. The workshop offered a rare first time opportunity to participate in a shorebird carving class with the artist. Each participant completed a decoy style carving of either a Piping Plover, Sandpiper or an Oystercatcher. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6060aaf1e7e2ed1690bda949/1617312842517-Z3K5BIXBBSOM2CYHOIJR/Black+Skimmer+Bronze+Casting.jpg Home - Black Skimmer Feeding Inspired by the sight of a Black skimmer as it knifes its way across the surface of the water with an elegant grace and beauty unmatched in nature.

He was fortunate to observe the 35 foot whale at a distance of ten feet from an inflatable Zodiac. He recounts the experience not as whale watching but rather being watched by a whale. Eye to Eye brings to mind viewing a chard of pottery in a museum. The viewer sees only a fragment of the whole. As with the pottery we see only a glimpse of the magnificent creature. To this very day the encounter remains a humbling experience.

They can reach a maximum speed of almost 14 mph and generate thrust , or forward propulsion, by bringing their fore-flippers together in big sweeping motions called “ claps” where they stretch their flippers out to the sides and sweep them down. They then tuck them against their body, forming a dynamic torpedo shape that glides easily through the water.
