Day 15

Well, I am halfway through with the 30 Sketches Project II. I am really enjoying it and I can picture this project popping up throughout my life.

I am so amazed everyday when I flip through my bird books in search of a subject for my daily sketch. There is a crazy amount of birds in this world. I couldn't possibly draw all of them if I tried!

This is a Buff-breasted Flycatcher, yet another species that I never knew existed. Its habitat is the open mountain woodlands of S.E. Arizona.

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.
