junk mail migration.

The Junk Mail Migration painting series explores the direct impact of junk mail on the immediate environment – our backyards. Many of our favorite songbirds breed, live, and migrate to/from the Boreal Forest, only passing through Iowa seasonally. When their breeding habitat is destroyed, the population dwindles and the chance of viewing the likes of a Yellow bellied Flycatcher in our backyard diminishes.
