Compulsively drawing and birding since 2019. Providing medical care for people experiencing homelessness for longer than that. Urban tangle is my landscape.
-obsessed with nibs and inks, the nonchalance of a surprising bird, harm reduction, and HOPE
Amazing photos taken by my partner from our porch. We live in an urban “cabin in the woods”. (Also, fwiw, Ive never seen a fox whilst staying in a forest “cabin in the woods”…)
every night for a week or so
we hear them chattering all around

mom distributes the young to daytime safe spots
they hang out while she hunts
then after dark begin the call-and-response laughing sounds
as she collects each of them
and they all go off together to sleep

Ink and water sketch of our friends’ house who hosted Friendsgiving this year. Done live on a chilly morning. I was birding simultaneously- 4 blue birds flitting about behind me! Brain fully occupied- no wonder I stepped in dog poo that morning…

starling invasion lasted all of 20 minutes
and then they moved on and the house sparrows juncos Cardinals and doves returned to their normal low key squabbling at the feeder.
