On rainy days I often think of the children's book, Where Does the Butterfly Go When It Rains? In all but the worst weather I still see birds coming back and forth to my feeders, but where do they go when they dart away with their snacks?
One particularly drippy morning my question was answered when I spotted a very wet and rather disheveled black-capped chickadee tucked up tight against the trunk of a tree, sheltering as best it could. At that moment the voice of Karen Carpenter popped into my head, and this linocut seemed inevitable.
