I don't know if it's true or not, but I've heard black cockatoos are a portent for rain. I do love these stories and how various animals and birds are connected to events.
Whenever I hear that beautiful slow cry of a yellow-tailed black cockatoo I rush out of my studio to see if I can see them. I always feel graced with their presence and it gladdens me.
This is a large original dry point etching, inked up by hand and pulled through my printing press on Hahnemulhe cotton rag paper.
