For #SquirrelAppreciationDay
please take a moment
to recognize all the Squirrel Moms out there
who hang by their toenails
while maneuvering squirmy toddlers

not sure why the extinction of this little bird in particular hits me so hard

maybe because they were still whirling across the sky when I was born?

regardless, I thought I'd give it a go to (badly) illustrate the slender-billed curlew as it would have been in life on the Kazakh steppe.

For the newbies, one of the great features on here is that when someone has tried to quote-post dunk on you, hit the … and select “detach quote” and nobody will see the post or who wrote it and they will look like an asshole. (Blocking works like this too.)
