Take a Word #50 - Blackbird

Here is a little known fact about Edgar Allan Poe.  He was intrigued by blackbirds and he decided to keep a pair in his home.  Unfortunately, they were prolific breeders and soon he found himself overtaken and his house was full of squawking birds!

    Cool. Black birds are like rats when it comes down to making nests and having babies. Lovely work. Did you print out the elements and add them to a page or is this a digital one? I am intrigued...
