This is a small portrait of predator and prey, a cutout of a weasel and its unfortunate victim, a redpoll. The dynamics of living creatures continues to fascinate and inspire me. I am impressed with the weasel family (otter, marten, weasels, wolverine) and Alaska is blessed to have a variety of these wild critters. With boundless energy the weasel and its kin are proven and effective predators in our vast boreal forest.
