What's up, Bluesky? What do you think of this Tufted Jay? 🤔 I met him for the very first time today. Love the look. 🖤

Good morning, BlueSky!
Day 16 of #birbfest2026 is the Eurasian Widgeon. As an American I have not encountered this bird before, but its shape reminds me of a Bufflehead.... #sketchbook #wildlifeart #watercolor

How am I only finding out about #birbfest2026 halfway through the challenge?!? How many years has this been going on?
Better late than never! Here's me jumping in on Day 15: SHORT-EARED OWL 🦉 I love these winter visitors to marshes and grasslands of Maine! #watercolor #sketchbook

"It was all very well to say 'Drink me,' but the wise little Alice was not going to do THAT in a hurry. 'No, I'll look first,' she said, 'and see whether it's marked 'poison' or not'".
-Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures In Wonderland

I really enjoyed my visit to Arizona! Definitely warmer than Maine. I was so inspired by the desert plants and geology, I can't wait to share more #travel art!🌵🫶🏼 #Sedona
