A very cozy Willow Ptarmigan for tisorridalamor on tumblr! Thank you so much 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!

A cozy-looking Willow Ptarmigan cuddled up in a loaf with eyes closed, amid grass and leaves and purple flowers. The bird has a short, stout black bill, a red eyebrow, and beautiful mottled gold and black and white feathers for camouflage among the summer browns and dappled sunlight.

Calling all bird-loving artists! This month's bird is the Eurasian Pygmy Owl! ✨ Draw! Paint! Sculpt! We hope you'll join us. Posting day is Oct 28th. Rules and Full Size Ref. Photo here: birdwhispererproject.com/participate/ #birds #BirdWhisperer #art

This months bird is the smallest owl species in Europe! It’s sitting on a branch, facing the viewer, in a dim foggy forest. Its yellow eyes are like a spark of color.

“Eurasian pygmy owl is usually red-tinged to a greyish-brown with dots on its back. The tail is generally darker than the body with five narrow, whitish bars. It has a small, short head with white to grey eyebrows and yellow eyes. The belly is mostly white with brown speckles. The beak is a greyish-yellow and hook-shaped.”

This month's bird drawing, the Black Woodpecker for @birdwhisperers.bsky.social monthly drawing challenge. Mine on the left and my mom's on the right. They ended up looking quite different, but part of the fun is seeing how we approach them in different styles. #Birds #art #birdart #BirdWhisperer

Day 30! - #carbon Double duty! It’s also #BirdWhisperer Project posting day. Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius). Found in mature forests across Europe and parts of Asia. The deep black was a challenge, but it fit the carbon theme nicely. #SciArtSeptember #birdart #watercolor

Coconut Octopus Sculpture 🐙 Clay & Paint #Octopus #Cephalopods #Invertebrates #BSNM 🦑🐡

A yellow, reddish purple and white hand sculpted clay octopus, depicting the species Amphioctopus marginatus, also known as the coconut octopus and veined octopus. This species is a medium-sized cephalopod found in the tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. It prefers sandy substrates with plentiful shells or litter. It commonly preys upon shrimp, crabs, and clams, and displays unusual behavior for octopuses, being one of only two species known to exhibit bipedal walking. The coconut octopus is also known for collecting and using tools; it gathers coconut shells and seashells and uses these for shelter.
