Well, it seems the water is just out of view, but I’m going to count this as a water bird 🦢 🪶

This was a great webinar! Thank you to Roseann Hanson and @wildwonder.bsky.social for making this available. I learned a lot!

As John Muir Laws says, “It’s the pencil miles.” Drawing is a skill that comes with practice. Here are 3 drawings of a Titmouse that I did over about 3 years with hundreds of different drawings in between. 🪶🖌️✍️

Drawn on January 1, 2020. A pencil sketch of a Titmouse that has the basic look of a Titmouse, but is a rudimentary drawing. The very first sketch I did when I started drawing every day…still going today about 1,846 days later. Drawn on December 5, 2021. The same Titmouse as my very first daily sketch. More detail and better proportions than the first sketch. Drawn on January 19, 2023. My third sketch of the same Titmouse. Much better proportions and attention to detail.

There is a Hibiscus shrub next to the parking lot of the place where I buy mealworms 🐛 The summer flowers 🌺 are lovely but the seed heads in winter ❄️ are wonderfully complex and fascinating to #draw

Pen and watercolor sketch of the seed heads from a Hibiscus shrub in winter. Sketch shows an overall view of the shrub the successive enlargements of a small branch, one seed head, and an individual seed. The seed head is like a 3-dimensional 5-pointed star.

I do love a good seed head in the snow. Memories of summer days, the promise of food for #birds 🪶 , and a reminder that #phenology is fun and rewarding.

I was learning about tracking mammals 🦊 today. I did not expect to track a turkey 🦃 this way 😅 🪶

Quick visualization of which trees have been monitored for our Quercus Quest collaboration (www.usanpn.org/nn/campaigns...) with US National Phenology Network --- focused on phenology of trees in the eastern North American white oak syngameon.

Fun with leaves 🍁 and honey. 🌳 🍂
Sugar Maple leaves in yellow fall color stuck to the trunk of their tree with honey. Concentrated group at the bottom of the tree and then dissipating as I couldn’t reach any higher.

A Yellow-bellied sapsucker feeding/murdering a crabapple tree in my yard. It took them about 3 years, but they seem to have completely girdled it.

I’ve seen a gray fox eating birdseed in my yard a few times in the last couple weeks. I’d never seen one that close before. I hope it doesn’t make a snack of the chipmunks 🐿️ that live in the retaining wall! I’m pretty partial to those little critters.

A sketchbook drawing of a gray fox looking up. Notes about diet, range, size, and the fun fact that they climb trees. The photo reference of the fox I used for the sketch. The fox is sitting up and looking at my bird feeder. A photo of a gray fox standing by my bird feeder and looking over its shoulder.
