Day 27

This baby chick is the partner in crime to the old-timer posted below. It too is for the Mini Mini show. My attempt yesterday to make a 4"x4" baby bird portrait was highly successful if my intention was to make it look identical to an alien-lizard-dinosaur baby. It is too terrifying to post. I feel better with today's attempt even though this little guy's shoulders resemble a shirtless human form.
Okay, I couldn't let it go. Trying to de-bulk him only lead to a more "roided-up" physique. What are they feeding little birds these days? I am not cut out for small artmaking. Even this dude wants to bust out of the 4"x4" size restraint.

Day 7: Roseate Spoonbill, 12x9"

Roseate Spoonbill, you are one interesting looking dude. Their deep pink coloring is similar to a flamingo. They use their unusual beak to feed on crustaceans by swinging it from side to side as it steadily walks through the water.

Project IV Day 18: Turkey Vulture (again)

I can't stop with the Turkey Vultures. I think I might have been one in a past life. Is that why I'm such a dirtbag ?

Project IV Day 25: Hoatzin Nestling

Yes, this guy does indeed exist. He is a Hoatzin nestling. One thing you should know about these birds is that they are born with two claws on each wing. They are clumsy in flight and use these claws to climb about in their native swamps of Venezuela and Guyana. Once they reach adulthood, they those their claws. Dinosaur times-style.
