So exciting to see my seabird and whale illustrations published in this brand new review paper on ocean nutrient cycling! And congrats to @DJShearwater on the new pub! https://t.co/5enKdQOU4G
Observations on newly discovered #Porg: Nesting ecology suggests relation to Alcid family, while morphology is more similar to penguins. Lack apparent flight feathers but can still fly (using the Force?). Chicks unobserved; drawing based on similar species. #StarWarsTheLastJedi
#ThrowbackThursday to that time I made a comic of the #NewHorizons flyby of #Pluto, and it went viral. I now have a "space" category in my shop that offers both a happy and sad version of the comic, depending on your tastes. https://t.co/HzPAJLlkvQ
Big thanks to @DJShearwater for letting me create these critters for figures in an upcoming review paper on marine biogeochemical cycling! Any other scientists/educators/creators need illustrations? I can't wait to start my next project!
The Sharp-tailed Grouse, a bird of the prairies in northern US and Canada, is so named because of its relatively short tail with two longer, central tail feathers. #BirdArt
Brrr, White-tailed Ptarmigans like it cold! When temperatures rise above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, these birds may be seen taking a refreshing snow bath to cool down. #BirdArt
Fluffy feet! The Willow Ptarmigan and its relatives have feathered feet that help protect them from the elements on the harsh arctic tundra. #BirdArt
The Dusky Grouse was formerly considered the same species as the Sooty Grouse; together, they were known as the Blue Grouse. #BirdArt
Gray Partridges are native to Eurasia and introduced to the US/Canada border; the scientific name Perdix perdix means "partridge partridge"
