The Red-legged Seriema...another bird that I never knew existed. Those long legs get a work out as these guys prefer to run from predators than fly. They top out at speeds up to 15 mph. Now that would be a sight to see!

This charcoal and pastel sketch is on a piece of 11"x14" drawing paper. Tuesdays = 12 hour workday which in turn = smaller, meaner sketches.
