Second popular, just for fun, were the kestrel pair! Glad you all love these guys so much.
I so rarely share fanart here since it doesn't do as well as on other sites for me, but it's #FanArtFriday and I'm listening to @LordHuron's Strange Trails and you should be too.
Sorry *Mariana, not Micronesian in the last tweet. Taxonomy keeps changing! Here's a Mariana Kingfisher perched on an old wrecked tank, inspired by things I've seen doing fieldwork on Saipan.
Love these guys! I've banded a whole lot (now considered Pacific Kingfisher and Micronesian Kingfisher in our data). This illustration is based off a Pacific Kingfisher I banded on Tutuila in American Samoa. #sciart https://t.co/VDA49cz7Lv
Full disclosure I made these because I wanted pillows for my new couch, but now I want them as shirts and stickers and everything else too.
So... I'm really just enabling myself here. https://t.co/P6rCHv2Ec0
A pair of American Kestrels, North America's smallest falcon. Female left, male right.
Made a very simple little crow template for my pumpkin this year, and I'm sharing it in case anyone else wants to give it a go!
24 hours to go! Here's a fun set - a few other species I tested out when trying to come up with the box cover. Clockwise: Black Sicklebill, Broad-plumed Lophorina, and Wilson's Bird-of-Paradise.
The Red Bird-of-Paradise in particular had a lot of refining and rendering between stages. Believe it or not, I only spent roughly 3 hours per card, so it was a real exercise in nailing down details quickly and moving on to the next one. #sciart
