Trying some paper to see if it's OK, so here is a work on progress. Long-tailed Shrike A4

Set of watercolour and graphite illustrations on a White A4 paper. They are of a Long-tailed Shrike which is a medium sized bird with a small hooked bill and a long tail. It is pale underneath with the lower flanks orange buff, and grey head and upper back fading into buff orange on the lower back and rump. It has darker wings and a black bandit mask.

Fingers crossed a few of these come kicking through my yard this fall. I didn’t see any in the mess I left for them in the spring.

This photo is from Tuesday – of a squadron of Bonaparte’s gulls on Lake Manitoba – and it wasn’t until now I noticed the lone greater white-fronted goose chilling with them. #birds #GullsOnFilm

A lineup of Bonaparte’s gulls occupy a sandbar, with a large blue lake extending to the horizon. Some geese can be seen too, out of focus.

After much consideration, bird guide consultation and praying to the Big Peep Upstairs, I feel like I’m kinda sorta ready-ish to declare this a juvenile sanderling… maybe? Pretty sure. If so, it’d be my first sanderling sighting in quite a few years. #birds

It feels like summer’s kaput in my area; I almost let the tomatoes frost last night, not realizing the evening low. In tribute to warmer days here’s a pen-and-ink sketch of a robin, based from a photo of one I saw being banded a few years back. Coloured in Photoshop. #birds

A pen-and-ink sketch of a robin, drawn with a brush pen and coloured digitally. The bird’s tones fade to white at the bottom, with a green square of background framing the head and sides.

A couple of lesser yellowlegs, fattening up for the fall journey. This retention pond was bumping – if you’re a sandpiper in Saskatchewan, whatever’s in that water is good eatin’. #birds

A pair of brownish, greyish, dot=patterned and yellow-legged shorebirds wade in shallow water searching for food. They are surrounded by bright green blades of grass growing from the water.

Avocet, since recolonising in Suffolk in 1947 after previously being extinct as a breeding bird in the UK, have spread north and west with intensive protection and help. folksy.com/find/item/85... #avocet #Birds #OriginalArt #Drawing #Painting #Artwork #GiftIdeas #ShopIndy #WildlifeArt #bsnm

A mixed media drawing of avocets standing in shallow water with grasses in the foreground. The water is painted in layers of lilac and and violet blue, in increasingly light tones as they eye moves up the picture.
The Avocet is a distinctively-patterned black and white wader with a long up-curved beak. They are used as the emblem of the RSPB. Look for Avocets in coastal lagoons on the east coast in summer, and the Exe estuary come winter.
An original art work, please note that the frame is not included.
Colour pencil and mixed media on acid free toned artist paper
Size A5 (148 x 210mm / 5.8 x 8.3")
The drawing will be in a clear envelope so you can view it before framing.

I’ve been searching for a sandpiper/shorebird hotbed all year, and who’d have thought it would be this algae-ass retention pond in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan – on the coldest, greyest September morning in recent memory.

Caught it late, but better than never: a pic in honour of #WorldShorebirdsDay, of a… small sandpiper species that is clearly a… a… peepy… small sandpiper species with a name. Shorebirds. I just love ’em, I don’t ID ‘em. #birds

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of “Up Close” is made for my sit-ins with the bird banders at Oak Hammock Marsh. I lucked out on the day they netted this striking male bobolink – these birds do live on the marsh fringe but are rarely caught. This one was very feisty! #birds

It was an absolute late-summer bluebird day for a hike in Whiteshell Provincial Park (Manitoba) yesterday. We saw a few birds: a swan, red crossbills, migrating hawks and a black-backed woodpecker. Also a (pardon my French) shit-tonne of wild blueberries! Took three pounds of them home in a baggie.

Just a simple barn swallow young ’un on a late summer day. Not seen: countless other swallows zipping every which way – it’s been a while since I’d seen so many at one time. It’s been a standout summer in these parts for insectivores! #birds

Wetlands are magic. Immediately following a light shower, I watched a momma goldeneye protect her six-duckling brood and terrorize every other bird on this pond. A poor ring-necked duck couple especially bore her brunt. Worth the mosquitoes!
