The young observers noted the red eye and white bill against smooth, black feathers of the coot. They applauded when a brown pelican dove headfirst into the salty water with a splash.

Two kindergarten classes from Maya Lin in Alameda, a new Arts Magnate School, were here to participate in an art and science field trip. Ginny Parsons is an Environmental Artist with her work currently featured in the “Nurture/Nature” exhibit at Rhythmix Culture Center in Alameda. Her large canvases and found-board paintings line the walls of K Gallery, where the students were gathered. Her paintings feature dense habitats, textured and layered with beeswax and bacon grease. They’re populated with large-scale, evocative depictions of shorebirds, pelicans and falcons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_51765\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 189px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/2013/03/29/nurturenature-art-and-our-environment/bird-walk-with-art-class/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-51765\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-51765\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2013/03/Bird-Walk-with-Art-Class-189x253.jpg\" alt=\"Students looked through a spotting scope to see live birds up close.\" width=\"189\" height=\"253\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students looked through a spotting scope to see live birds up close.

Students used a spotting scope and binoculars to observe cooperative coots and gulls on the docks and pilings. The young observers noted the red eye and white bill against smooth, black feathers of the coot. They applauded when a brown pelican dove headfirst into the salty water with a splash. Feeling inspired, we headed back to the art studio to work with magazine pages and oil crayons. Ginny had each child create their own unique piece of artwork to take back to school. Their teacher explained the outing followed their classroom studies about habitat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are new movements afoot to bring together art and the environment throughout the U.S. and even some here, closer to home.

The problem is the poison is also deadly to raptors, hawks, foxes, and coyotes, which eat the poisoned rodents, and kills them through secondary poisoning. This reduces the predators, which could be helping us by eating our pest species, and causes us to use even more poison to keep the pests in check. Does this sound like a vicious cycle?
