And that's a wrap! Valentine's Day usually marks the end of sandhill crane numbers in southern New Mexico. Some stick around till the end of the month, but so many cranes have headed north for spring migration. The snow geese usually stick around a little bit later, but will also be northbound soon.
A mass amount of snow geese fly over the wetland roost at the Bosque del Apache at dawn.

Mustelid menu! Here's my second one for #FebruaryFrost26, for the prompt quilt. #art
A watercolour painting with a block quilt inspired layout, there's a mustelid or an element of mustelid diet in each block. The mustelids from top to bottom are the American mink, badger, stoat, pine marten, weasel, river otter, and polecat. Parts of their diet included are rabbits, eggs, fish, frogs, fruit, and birds.

I have not been doing my best to share critters on their designated day. It's complicated.
So here is a sunning southern ground hornbill for #HornbillsDay from @oregonzoo.bsky.social

Today is I ❤️ #HornbillsDay !

This year I'm studying the endangered Wrinkled Hornbill found in the forests of Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo.

They primarily eat fruit, like figs, but will consume small prey like frogs.

Image depicts a male and female Wrinkled Hornbill resting on a tree limb. The male has is wings open on display, he has pale yellowish throat and a yellow and red bill and casque. Female has a plain yellow bill and casque and bare blue skin around the eyes and on the neck pouch. This year I'm studying the endangered Wrinkled Hornbill found in the forests of Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. They primarily eat fruit, like figs, but will consume small prey like frogs. Loss of habitat and deforestation is likely the main cause of their endangered status. Sketch study art work, indented for learning purposes.

One of several groups of sandhill cranes I saw gaining altitude and shooting north over Albuquerque today.

We might be hitting migration season.🪶

Bees 🐝
This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes. These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals. Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests. Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!

Desert cottontail would like to remind you that whatever you think you saw in the garden you didn't.

Today is #WorldWaterfowlDay! Here's a few such birds seen during my last trip to the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge.
A small cluster of Northern pintails (drakes & hens present) in the wetland roost pond at the Bosque del Apache NWR A small flight of Gadwalls (drakes & hens present) with some mountains behind them at the Bosque del Apache NWR A single northern shoveler drake glides across the water Snow geese at the dawn flyout. Some birds are taking off while others are waiting their turn in the water. The sun is behind the birds giving off a very golden hue to the scene

Today is World Waterfowl Day!
I've seen a few ducks in my time. Maybe I'll find the braincells to look through some pictures. Because ducks are really neat, and they're some of the best birds to get started with your birding journey.
