“My Stroke of Luck” was written

Rafael.

‘Stroke’ a
touching
tale of
recovery
By Sam Hurwitt
IJ correspondent
When Diane Barnes tells you
her story about having a stroke
and the long process of recov-
ery, you have a bit of a spoiler
from the start. She’s here telling
you the story, after all, and tell-
ing it with great assurance, style
and humor. However things went,
clearly they could have gone a
whole lot worse.
That’s not to say that the
San Rafael resident’s solo show
doesn’t have its harrowing mo-
ments, because it does. Written

Honoring nature’s
and performed by Barnes and
playing at San Francisco solo-
show hub the Marsh, “My Stroke
of Luck” is a riveting, tense and
touching story of a single mother

able to take care of herself, much

Sharon Beals’ photographs of bird nests
from around the world at Bolinas Museum
By Vicki Larson >> vlarson@marinij.com >> @OMGchronicles on Twitter
Marin is full of birdwatchers.
Sharon Beals, a San Francisco
resident who spends a lot of time
in Point Reyes Station, is one of
them. But as enthralled as she
is with hoisting a pair of binoc-
ulars to see them out in nature,
she’s much more fascinated with
their nests.
Using just their beaks and
feet, birds may be “nature’s most
fastidious architects,” she says.
Which is why the commer-
cial and editorial photographer
spent years photographing nests
in collections of various muse-
ums and scientific institutions,
including the California Acad-
emy of Sciences and the Smith-
sonian’s American Museum of
Natural History, and in 2011
published a book, “Nests: Fifty
Nests and the Birds That Built
Them.”
Eleven of her images are on
display in “Wonder: The Art of
Bird Nests” at the Bolinas Mu-
seum through Dec. 31.
less her two sons.
Scarier than her account of the
stroke itself is her insistence af-
terward that she’s fine and her
refusal to have it looked it. She
lets her stroke go untreated for
20 hours, even driving her son to
summer camp in the Sierra Ne-
vada with a splitting headache
before finally going to the hospi-
tal. It’s especially tense because
she tells us every step of the way
what a terrible idea this is.
She should know. She’s a doc-
tor, after all, a longtime radiolo-
gist who knows a stroke when she
sees one. What’s more, she knows
her odds of recovery aren’t good.
There are funny moments in
“Bird nests, her story, but it’s a rueful sort of

lost so much of their habitat

and food supply along their
migratory path.
“He talks about the sea
of migration and what hap-
pens to them along the
way, and I was trying to
figure out a way to reach
people who wouldn’t pick
up a pair of binoculars,”
she says.
After she took her first
photograph of a nest, she
writes in her artist state-
ment, “drawn to its pal-
ette and messy, yet grace-
ful and functional form,
that I knew I had found
my medium — or at least a
way that I could be a me-
dium for the birds.”
Beals was lucky to get
access to the California
Academy of Sciences after
meeting two members of
the academy’s department
of ornithology and mam-
malogy in 2007, Jack Dum-
bacher and Maureen Flan-
nery, who write the book’s
foreword.
“They were incredibly
generous. When they heard
my book idea and saw my
photographs, they said
sure, and that opened some
doors to me to other collec-
tions,” she says. “I wasn’t a
scientist and had no right
to be there, but they got
the idea.”
Lots of research
Because she didn’t have
a scientific background,
Beals had a lot to learn
about birds.
“Oh, man, it was won-
derful, the journey. I just
researched and researched
and just delved in for a
year to learn as much as I
could,” she says. “I had to
learn taxonomic order so I
could find things in collec-

tions.”
Beals did not go out into
the wild to climb trees to
find her subjects. Not only
are nests almost impossi-
ble to find, but egg and nest
collecting — once a popu-
lar pastime — was banned
in 1918. The nests and eggs
she photographed, many
of them hundreds of years
old, were donated to muse-
ums and scientific institu-
tions from private collec-
tions, which are used for
research on environmen-
tal toxins and DNA and
not generally on display.
Few are collected nowa-
days, and whatever is col-
lected is for scientific re-
search only.
“The nests themselves
can reveal some of the envi-
ronmental issues, or what
they might have been us-
ing for nesting materials,
they can explain some hab-
itat that they might have
chosen. The eggs are very
useful to scientists all over
the world; they can sam-
ple the egg shell and fig-
ure what might be wrong
or might be going on,” she
says. “It was just so magi-
cal to be able to open these
cabinet doors and see these
amazing creations.”
Beals is now working on

a second book, this time
focusing on the nests of
extinct and endangered
birds. She included a pho-
tograph of a species be-
lieved to be extinct, the
Bachman’s warbler, in the
Bolinas show.
“It’s kind of a magnifi-
cent nest and it’s a way to
tell the story about what
happened to them,” she
says.
‘Beauty and splendor’
“Sharon Beals allows
us to see the beauty and
splendor of nests anew,
through her remarkable
photography,” writes Wei-
Much mystery surrounds the disappearance of the
Bachman’s warbler. The last nest of this species was seen
in 1937, and no sightings have been reported since 1961.
Listed as critically endangered (though more likely extinct),
it bred in Eastern and Southern swamp-forests. Besides
loss of this habitat, hurricanes in the U.S. and Cuba may
have reduced their populations to so few that they simply
couldn’t find each other to breed.

YOUR DAILY BREAK |
Kids should be able
to report harassment
DEAR AMY » I need some
advice to guide our
children in this electronic
world. My husband and I
have four children, ages 9
through 15.
Recently, our 12-year-
old son was riding home
on the school bus and a
classmate showed him
some salacious pictures
that upset him.
He wasn’t sure how to
get out of
the situa-
tion, or what
to say. He
was on the
window side
Amy
Amy of the seat
Dickinson so when
Dickinson
Ask Amy
Amy he asked
the other
student to move aside
so he could get out, the
student would not move.
Fortunately, the bus ride
is only two minutes, but
when he got off the bus
he was very upset.
Our son is very mod-
est, and we care very
deeply about our chil-
dren’s exposure to these
types of things.
We talked it through
and I brought it to the
principal’s attention.
He said that if there
are no witnesses, then
there is nothing he
could do.
There is also a school
policy of no phones,
which extends to the bus.
We reminded the princi-
pal of this. In the state we
live in, we could possibly
bring this issue to the
police.
Outside of all that,
what would your guid-
ance be when children
are shown things they
don’t want to see —
whether it is salacious,
gory or otherwise? What
are the words to say
that empower them to
rebuff these types of
things, and to assert
themselves effectively?
