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!
And that is a wrap! Day Thirty's photo was taken at Oliver Nature Park in Mansfield, TX earlier this summer. The labeling of each drawing evolved during the project. In the bottom left-hand corner is the sequence number of the drawing within the 30-day time frame and the location of where the reference photo was taken. My take away from this particular project was having the opportunity to spend more time with a special moment I had in nature. It allowed me to marvel at the intricacies of the plants and animals around us.
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.

Oh... NOW I know what that bird was I saw at an aviary! Thanks. You caught the fluff above the bill very nicely!
