Description:

This digitally illustrated interpretive panel was designed for the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History. Included are species of birds and plants commonly found in the museum’s garden: a Western Gull adult and chick (Laurus occidentalis), a Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) perched in a California Buckeye (Aesculus californica), a female Anna’s Hummingbird (Calypte anna) about to feed from the blossom of a Humming Bird Sage (Salvia spathacea), a Western or California Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma californica) perched on a gardenig bucket and framed by California Poppies (Eschscholzia californica), and a Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis) looking for food at the base of the Hummingbird Sage plants.

The team at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History realized that an outdoor interpretive panel didn’t fit the museum’s current needs, so this composition was reworked into a poster that could be placed near the entrance to the garden.
