A local art project has begun on South Padre Island, featuring a painted bird. The project started with a great kiskadee, a yellow-plumed bird, painted on the doorway of an art gallery in the island's arts district. Valley artist Ryan Henry created the miniature artwork, and although he didn't have permission, he wasn't reprimanded.

Instead, a property manager asked him to paint another bird at her business entryway. Further details about the project are available from the source, including the artist's experience and the potential expansion of the painted bird trail.
