Green-cheeked Conure and Pink-necked Green-Pigeon for bookwyrmbran on tumblr! Thank you for your generous #Waymakers donation! 🎨🪶 #SciArt #BirdArt Waymakers benefits @theyoungcenter.bsky.social 's critical work to help unaccompanied immigrant kids in the US. Join us again next September!
Illustration of a cheery little Green-cheeked Conure, a type of small parrot, perched on a branch in warm sunny green forest. The bird has its green cheeks poofed out contentedly as it faces the viewer directly so that we can see its green and red belly and the start of its long tail.A Pink-necked Green-Pigeon swoops into view with wings spread diagonally across the image. It is a chunky bird with a subtle blue-gray crown, pink neck, green back and wings with yellow wingbars, an orange rump and steel blue tail. Its iris is a crazy vivid magenta and neon blue. Cast shadows of leaves from trees above lie across its back.

Redpoll for lazyscience on tumblr! Thank you for the #Waymakers donation! 🪶🎨 #SciArt #BirdArt The Waymakers challenge is a race and fundraiser hosted every September by @theyoungcenter.bsky.social to help immigrant kids in the US. Join us again next September!
Illustration of a Redpoll perched delicately on the dead head of a pink flower, part of a cluster growing from below the viewer's perspective. The bird is a small pale finch with a yellow beak and little red crown patch, and brown flank streaking. It looks to be a bright sunny day, which illuminates the spiderwebs strung between the drying twigs.

It's #WorldShorebirdsDay !🎉 I wanted to do a Black Skimmer, one of my favorite birds to watch at the beach. They fly low over the water skimming for small fish. It's like watching them dance above the surface. #SuperSeabirdSunday #Bird #WildlifeArt #Ornithology #NatureArt #SciArt #BirdArt #BskyArt
Digital sketch study of a Black Skimmer parent and its chick. Unusual tern-like bird with oversized bill—lower mandible is much longer than upper mandible. Feeds by flying close to surface of water and dipping its lower mandible into the water "skimming" for small fish. Found coastally, especially beaches and sandbars. Barking "yip" calls might clue you in to a flock in flight.
