I did this on a tray table on our flight home last year… then wrestled with the blue to get it remotely right.

Scott’s Oriole seen in Cerritos, Baja California Sur in ‘23

Stunning birds. This year I learned to recognize their lovely song.

Marker on paper. I think I did this on the plane. 😅

Varied Thrush chowing down in Discovery Park, Seattle.

These birds have one of my favorite songs… a haunting multi-tonal sound that I associate with dark woods and evergreens.

Watercolor, ink, & gouache on paper

Two years ago, a Snow Goose showed up in a field by Lowes.

I did a pencil sketch… then added marker… then watercolors… then acrylic… then drew digitally… then threw my hands up.

I found it a year later & didn’t hate it.

Western Fycatcher at the cactus sanctuary near El Triunfo in Baja California Sur, MX.

At the time it was called a Pacific Slope Flycatcher, but has since been lumped & gotten a new name.

I think this would be fun to paint.
