Day 3 and 4 because last night after work I was too busy and also tired to draw! Horned Grebe and 'I'iwi (also known as the Scarlet Honeycreeper)!

The ‘I’iwi or Scarlet Honeycreeper is the third most common land bird in the Hawaiian islands. They use their long, curved bill to drink nectar from the flowers of the ʻōhiʻa lehua tree.

Dino medal for A-Raptor (Austroraptor) Design based off what’s probably my favorite bird: the red legged honeycreeper. It’s honestly surprising how well it works as a neutral type design to me.

U. Maui Nukupuʻu (5)

6 species with 5 U's. Unfortunately, the 4 Nukupu'u species have gone the way of so many other Hawaiian Honeycreepers due to a mixture of habitat loss, invasive species and disease. The Maui species was last seen in the 90's. RIP

The Oʻahu ʻalauahio (Paroreomyza maculata) is a Critically Endangered native to O’ahu. Last reliably seen in 1985, it's likely extinct. This honeycreeper ate invertebrates and habitat loss and malaria are key threats

Thank you to for inspiring me to start making Hawaiian honeycreeper art again. The last art I worked on was this ‘Ākohekohe back in 2018. 💚

A flock of honeycreepers! Sadly, many became extinct by the time of European colonization. Some species still exist today, but sadly many are threatened or endangered. (And I realized I got the nukupu’u male and female switched up…)

Aloha! My electronic devices are acting buggy tonight so I’ll leave this here. Good thing I’m not being graded or judged for accuracy. Practice, practice, and more.
