The Meadowlark's Revenge

This is my final art project. The only requirements was that it should be a self-portrait. I've taken some liberties with my appearance but I have roughly the same features here as I do in real life.
I've got eyes, a nose, a mouth and a beard.

It's on a wood panel, about 24x36 inches and I used colored pencils and graphite.
Someone in class asked me if a guy missed the bird and shot me instead. So instead of a long detailed explanation of the symbolism here, I'm just gonna go with that.
