Already done. Just want to clean the image up a bit.
Maybe make it a little more clear. (Might be tempted to make it a watercolor experiment..)

At the moment it's done in colored pencil. The Cardinal flower is actually close to lake red in color. Saw a red eyed vireo and a northern flicker as well, but that didn't come close to nearly breaking my butt to sketch a flower that is kinda rare.

Best part was what I was thinking while drawing it, "Now watch, it's rare or something." This after looking like I was half-levitating down the bank.
(Imagine the figure in the drawing "My descent" wearing a turtleneck and longsleeve, a stupid grin, and flailing down an embankment with binocs and a sketch pad..)
