Gold or bronze?
Marbled Godwits (Limosa fedoa), Bodega Harbor, 19 February 2018
(Click on the photo for a larger and sharper version.)
Thanks, Carol! I got lucky with this one. When I was trying to photograph the terns, a very large flock of godwits flew by very close to me...and one of the pictures came out in focus!
What a great Escher website--did not realize he had done SO many of them. I think Bird/Fish #22 was the one I saw in my mind's eye, because of the shape of the wings (but, of course, you have no fish . . .) I just love the ones that have their wings up and the ones that have their wings down, making the most beautiful rhythm; and all those pink bills in parallel. An amazing photo. Again--thank you for your wonderful posts!

Your very own M. C. Escher!

So...which Escher do you think is the closest match?
