#Birdtober2022 Day 23 - Song
I usually wake up to the calls of the Blackbird outside my window. 🎶
Have a listen; such pretty sounds! 😊❤️

#Birdtober2022 Day 17 - Extinct
In the 1800's, there were over 5 billion Passenger Pigeons in the US.
The last in the wild was shot in 1900. We hunted them to extinction.
The last of the species, Martha, died in Cincinnati Zoo in 1914. She was 29 yrs old.
Will we ever learn?
#Birdtober2022 Day 15 - Red
The Scarlet Ibis is such a stunning species! ❤️
Really don't have much time today, which is a shame, because someday I'd love to do a full painting of one of these birds. A 10 minute study shall have to do for now. 😅
#Birdtober2022 Day 14 - Free Choice
"Cygnus"
I really wanted to paint a Mute Swan today. With some ethereal theming, of course. 🦢 💙
#Birdtober2022 Day 12 - Unique Beak
I really wanted to do something rainbow-y today. 😊
And for this prompt, the Rhinoceros Hornbill certainly has a super unique beak!❤️
#Birdtober2022 Day 10 - Baby Bird
We've hatched a huge amount of baby birds at our centre this year, and one such species has been our Mackinders Eagle Owls. I had to include a little sketch of one on this challenge. 😁
#Birdtober2022 Day 7 - Free Choice
"Marvellous Face"
For the first 'Free Choice' day, I chose the Bateleur Eagle. Absolutely love this species. They remind me of a phoenix. ❤️
I do love me a good portrait painting session. ❤️
Especially if the subject is a bird. 😁❤️
@skulldog I don't know if this counts, but I re-did one of my childhood drawings. 😂
2000 vs. 2020
Painting orcas swimming through the skies - these paintings are 10 years apart. 😊
I think I'll need to do another painting like this soon. It's been a while. ❤️
