Day 23 California scrub jay
I'm ridiculous. On the one hand, "is it too loose" and on the other, "is it too persnickety?" I actually think I like it, it's whatever.

One notable thing--Hoatzin chicks have claws on their wings so they can climb to safety.

Day 24 - Wilson's bird-of-paradise
Attenborough captured WBOP on film in 1996 by adding a leaf to the cleared display stage on the forest floor. The bird came out to remove the leaf.

Day 21 - Greater Rhea
Water color and color pencil

This cormorant type bird is new to me. It had a lot going on and I ran out of time. Someday I will throw more energy into finishing the details and a dark backdrop behind the head to let it stand out.
