Ghost birds in Ghost Town: watercolors of the New Zealand storm-petrel (thought to be extinct for the entire 20th century) on the walls of @ghosttowntelluride. Thanks to @mountainfilm, @the_fulbright_program, and @insidenatgeo for helping me bring seabirds to the mountains. Swipe for more seabird sketches. . .
