#feathruary2025
For the #backyard prompt of #Feathruary2025, I drew the Northern Flicker, which visits often in the woods outside my home. They are also known as "Yellowhammers", named for the yellow plumage under the outer feathers and for their pecking behavior.

Tree Swallow in watercolor

Swallows remind me of conducting field observations when I worked in the UW Bird Communication Lab. Watching the swallows fly around Union Bay Natural Area catching insects in flight was fun.

European Starling in watercolor

The colorful European Starling can be found in groups around the USA. They are rather vocal birds with an adaptive range and ability to mimic other calls. (Photo by Pierre-Selim Huard)

Great Blue Heron in watercolor

On a walk to Lake Washington, I spotted a Great Blue Heron flying and foraging near the shoreline. This inspired me to paint a heron in my watercolor sketchbook.

Eurasian Magpie for #Feathruary2025
I was so stoked to see these on every grassy lawn when I visited Spain (for work) last year.

It's #SuperbOwl Sunday, so here's this little bird (go birds). The Eastern Screech Owl is a mostly solitary bird, living in cavities in trees. While they are monogamous (they mate for life) they only live together for the breeding season.

Crow walking in snow.

I took a few snapshots of the crows while watching birds in the backyard, This quick painting is a silhouette of a brave crow walking slowly in the melting snow on our deck.

#Feathruary2025 has begun! This year I'm focusing mostly on birds that I added to my life list over the past couple of years.

First prompt for the week is monochrome. I chose the Mountain Chickadee.
