Sandhill Crane Print Release

In honor of the annual autumn migration of the Sandhill Cranes, who will be heading out of Kansas going south, we are happy to announce the release of beautiful prints of these magnificent birds. The paintings were generously commissioned by one of our most enthusiastic supporters, Nancy Vaughan.

Artist Mary Fiore was commissioned to create one image for us and she ended up doing three! We are very excited about how they turned out and will be sharing them in a variety of ways (through the sale of note cards, posters, apparel, etc.) and to further beautify Birdhouse Farm’s virtual and physical locations. Let us know if you are interested and we’ll put you in touch with the artist - she doesn’t have a website.

Not only did Nancy underwrite the beautiful portraits, she wrote a fantastic piece on Sandhill Cranes and their activity in Quivira National Wildlife Refuge (26 miles from Birdhouse.farm). There is an excerpt below and you can find the full writing here.

To celebrate the migration of the Cranes, Audubon of Kansas is hosting tours at Quivira on November 4-6. More information below and here.
