I never used to notice treecreepers, but now I see them pretty much every time I go to the woods. 🪶 #birds #ECK #birdart

I thought this bird was a raven when I first saw it perched on a memorial stone in a park in Tokyo. I've since learned that it's actually a large-billed crow, which are very common in Japan and easily mistaken for ravens. Either way it was fun to paint! 🪶 #birds #corvid #crow #ECK #BlueSkyMonday

It's equally heartbreaking and infuriating to hear about and see these kids intentionally attacking and killing parakeets as well as other birds and animals, all for some sort of sick social media trend. 😭 #parakeets #parakeetlove #birds #ECK

Heron - Oils on 6x6" panel Available at danjohnsonart.co.uk/product/heron/ The thing I like about Herons is they tend to stay very still for long periods of time, and they are not easily spooked, so it’s relatively easy to get good photos of them! #birds #birdart #EastCoastKin #smArtist #FlyDay
