it’s time to meet Creeper! (aka Creepy, government name Jammin’ Jeepers Creepers.) it’s his 4th birthday and he’s been with us about 4 weeks. He comes from a wonderful sport whippet home but wanted a bit more human attention, which we are more than happy to provide! we 🧡 him so much.

Posting now so I don’t forget. I’ve missed the last TWO months of the #birdwhisperer project 😩 - but I really wanted to get back to it. Plus I just love turkey vultures! Decided to go with a portrait for this one. Maybe someday I’ll learn how to draw with dark tones.

i was so excited and relieved and proud. there are many terrible things happening in our county but i truly cannot believe what is happening to science research and its perception by the public.
