I captured this creature 2 days ago in New Mexico desert, some kind of man eater genetic mutant side effect of nuke testing, would have fit in A.Hitchcock"s movie "The Birds" :)

I am guessing that is some sort of large statue or something. To be honest though, it could be any size. The bushes could be tiny... or big. Who knows?

Maybe something in the picture to show scale would help.

PhotoFranz....I lived down in the desert for many years and I would guess those bushes to be about 3 1/2 feet tall.

I love this pic. The bird is nice, but the place is gorgeous. And you caught the beauty of it really well.

Kudos to the artist for creating such a sculpture in that beautiful place and to you for making a wonderful capture of it all.
