{"product_id":"neighbors","title":"Neighbors","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe great egret and the tricolored heron occupied the same dense thicket of green at the edge of a Lowcountry tidal creek, apparently unbothered by the proximity. The egret was taller and more visible, its white form catching whatever light filtered through the canopy above. The heron was smaller and lower, its blue-grey plumage less visible against the green behind it but present - a second bird sharing the same perch without apparent conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lowcountry is dense with bird life in this way - the rookeries where egrets and herons nest are communities in the most literal sense, dozens of species in close proximity, navigating the same trees and the same airspace with a practiced awareness of each other's boundaries. The egret and the heron in this image have negotiated their position in the thicket and arrived at a kind of comfortable coexistence that is characteristic of this landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeighbors is about the natural tolerance that different species develop when they share a habitat long enough. The egret and the heron are different birds in almost every way - size, color, behavior, diet - and yet here they are, in the same frame, in the same tree, apparently finding the arrangement acceptable. It is a quiet image, and a generous one, and it brings to the room the particular softness of a Lowcountry afternoon when the light is dappled and nothing is in a hurry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quigley Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"20x30 \/ Metal","offer_id":43308797329498,"sku":"neighbors-20x30","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 \/ Metal","offer_id":43308797362266,"sku":"neighbors-24x36","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32x48 \/ Metal","offer_id":43308797395034,"sku":"neighbors-32x48","price":3400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40x60 \/ Metal","offer_id":43308797427802,"sku":"neighbors-40x60","price":5500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/0325\/1546\/files\/QuigleyFineArt_PJQ05188_4_25_05572fc7-1810-4b4e-86dd-2b5bcb1ab47e.jpg?v=1777838163","url":"https:\/\/quigleyfineart.com\/products\/neighbors","provider":"Quigley Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
