DESCRIPTION

Until the early 1920's, many millions of whitewings nested in the thick brush country along the lower Rio Grande. By 1950, almost all of the heavy brush country from the mouth of the Rio Grande to Laredo had been cleared for farms and cattle pastures. The whitewing almost disappeared from South Texas. 

This image is from the Charles Beckendorf Texas Wildlife book. The original was an acrylic painting on canvas (1992) and the size is approximately 14 X 11 inches.  The total edition size of this print is 500.
