#birdtoberclub2025 Female Plumage

Kingfishers are just adorable, aren’t they?

This drawing is based on a picture I took, the first time I saw a female Green Kingfisher.

#birdtoberClub2025 Creates Non-vocal sounds

Of course the obvious choice would be a woodpecker. And they just happen to be some of my favorite birds!

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 19: Smallest in their family

Picui Ground Dove was the obvious choice. I have a whole group of them living behind my house and they’re just adorable.

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 18: Crest

I love Red-crested Cardinal! Luckily they’re fairly common to see here. :)

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 16: Waterfowl

Yellow-billed Teal, a very common species here in Uruguay. I’m quite proud on how I achieved to create the water reflection! I used Procreate’s liquify tool and reduced the opacity of that layer.

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 10: Yellow

Between getting sick and having some commitments — one of them being eBird’s Big Day — I fell a few days behind, but better late than never.

Hooded Siskin, a very cute little bird I saw for the first time this year. In this case, it’s a male.

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 9: Juvenile

Today I was sick and low on energy, so I didn’t think much about the theme, I just filtered photos of juvenile birds on eBird, and I liked the Burrowing Owl.

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 9: Nocturnal Migrant

One of the most popular migratory birds during the Spring–Summer season in Uruguay is the Fork-tailed Flycatcher.

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 6: Coniferous Forest

Since there are no Coniferous Forests in Uruguay, I went with Forest and chose a Green-barred Woodpecker :)

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 4: Extravagant Tail

The Strange-Tailed Tyrant is endangered. I haven’t been lucky enough to see one, sadly. Hopefully one day. :’)

This is the “newest” hummingbird I’ve added to my list: the Glittering-bellied Emerald.

The most common Sparrow where I live, if not the only one. The House Sparrow.
