Got to see Common and Barrow's Goldeneye! fun to see both at the same time.

A common goldeneye drake: A white duck with a black head and white cheek patch and golden yellow eye, with narrow black bands through the white on its wings and a black back.

A barrow's goldeneye drake and hen. The drakw has a black head with a more forward facing cheek patch that extends further up to his golden yellow eye. It has a white breast, with white bars on black wings and a black back. The hen has a red head, light grey breast and dark grey back.

If you see this, post your bird art 🐦

Digital drawing of a fanciful take on a merlin type raptor perched on a gray branch and facing left with its back turned to the viewer to show off its wing and tail pattern but its head is turned partially toward the viewer. Its face and chest are white feathers while the top of its head and back, tail, and wings are light blue with stripes of black.

The white 'eyebrow', chin, and 'necklace' on a blue-headed corvid called a Woodhouse's Scrub-jay kinda make it look like he was hit in the face by a snowball on a winter visit to my deck railing with a snowy background in bokeh for composition. Artsy.

Beautiful as the image is, there is no tree of life.
