After a long month of dealing with life, I’m back! I’m trying to do something of a subtle pride bird collection.

First up is the rainbow flag, represented by a common grackle! I wanted to take advantage of their gorgeous iridescence!

#MothMay Day 9: Barred Hook-tip moth!

This one also looks a lot like some of the moths I’m used to seeing around the Eastern US! I love warm earth tones, so this one was a blast!

It’s been a crazy busy weekend between birding for Global Big Day and celebrating Mother’s Day, but I’m back with #MothMay day 8: Emperor Moth!

Such a fun challenge for a beautiful moth

Still playing catchup for #MothMay so here’s day 2: Peppered Moth!

I loved learning about these guys in high school biology, so it was fun to try my hand at depicting one!

Great eared nightjar!! I love them so much - their feather texture ended up so much fun to draw

Really challenged myself with this one! A more familiar (to me!) bird requested by a friend.

May I present the black billed magpie, a staple of my childhood and a personal favorite!

Went to see @sparkbird.bsky.social in concert last night and caught feelings about this bird, the inaccessible island rail.

If you’re queer and/or like birds, you should listen to Sparkbird and cry about this bird with me

Black-throated accentor for tonight!

The consequence of this series is that I just keep adding birds to my bucket list…

I’ve been having fun spinning random bird generators and drawing what I get. It’s a fun way to learn about new bird species
