Peacock Books & Wildlife Art News — Lisa Loucks Christenson

Today I took Sam with me on a field day on my outdoor beat. Sam is a beautiful Border Collie who lives with three Greyhounds that are rescues. Sam is going to be the featured dog hero in a book series under my Bow Wow Detectives® imprint. I'll announce the title of that series at a later time.

We hiked to the river, and Sam helped me solve a couple little mysteries in our time outdoors  today. Sam seemed to enjoy our time sitting by the river watching the river flowing by, listening to the sounds of the blue jays, a passing eagle, and  the sounds of all the other birds.

Sam was with me to help discover eagle nest nine, one I wrote into my journal as a new nest today. Not much activity going on for such a warm January day in Minnesota!

Sam and I arrived at another of my stops and found 18 Trumpeter Swans feeding in the open slough, the count has more than doubled since the January 2. The young gray cygnet, seems to be a loner, doesn't hang out with the other swans at all and that makes me curious as to why he drifts away? Last night he remained behind with his duck companions, while the two adults flew off to another slough at sundown. He is surrounded by mallards that stay close, and feed off plants he drops in the water, but he doesn't seem to mind feeding them. He preens with them, he swims with them, he camps with them. I'm calling him Lonan.

Book Two

Hallowink Hollow Series by Lisa Loucks Christenson
Lisa's 2018 Inktober Sketches drawn on 2x2 sticky notes from 10/1/2018 through 10/31/2018. 

As the Hallowinks are en route to the Hallowinks Halloween Party, a blizzard hits Hallowink Hollow leading V-neck Vulture back in time a month, and on a detour through Cryptid Hideout, home of the legendary cryptids rumored to live there. V-neck's unintended flight plan lands him face to face with the famous legendary creatures. 

Will V-neck Vulture be able to escape the monsters of Cryptid Hideout and make it home by Halloween? One things for sure: V-neck has lots of stories of his own to share with the Hallowinks . . . if he can escape this adventure and find an exit and path home from this 31-day-cryptid-hideout-horrorfest!

Peacock Books & Wildlife Art is honored to present the gorgeous, detailed wood carvings by Richard Southard, owner of Impressions in Wood. The beautiful details in his art include hand carved eyes, finely detailed feathers on the wings of geese, chickadees, and his breathtaking hummingbirds in flight, feeding, or flying — he captures their spirit and joy of life of God’s creatures.

One must sit in the wild for hours, and likely, on many trips to observe what Richard captures in the bird behavior exhibited in his exquisite wood carvings.

Stop by and see for yourself the beauty of Richard’s carved wildlife scenes, little moments of life, captured and preserved for display in any room you would like to add a breathe of new flight, either as a hanging ornament or mounted on carved grapevine, aromatic cedar base.
