"As the raven first pecks out the eyes, so the devil first destroys the ability to judge correctly, leaving the mind open to attack" (bestiary.ca). Referring to ravens plucking the eyes of corpses out to eat the brains. #MedievalMay Day 25 #MedievalBestiary #Birds #BirdArt

Monarch butterflies journey thousands of miles across multiple generations, symbolizing new beginnings and the right we all have to move freely. We must stand with immigrants!! 🧡

An illustration of three flying monarch butterflies in various poses. They are bright orange butterflies with black wing veins and small white dotted markings on the edge of the wings. Black handwritten text reads “Migration is Magnificent”

Happy Pride Month! You know who doesn't change their brand image to rainbow just for June? Ctenophores. They make their gay little rainbows all year. It's a Pride parade in the ocean every day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. 366 every four years. 🦑🐙

happy pride month to my fellow queer birders 🌈

a digital drawing of a black capped chickadee surrounded by leaves. the text reads “queer birder” which refers to the gay/queer community of bird watchers! in a supportive silly way, of course.

"The vulture is a slow-flying bird that eats corpses" (bestiary.ca) I saw a drawing of a vulture with a human foot in its mouth so I drew a vulture with a human foot in its mouth.

Almost forgot to post the final birds, so you're getting three at once. #MedievalMay days 29, 30 and 31 are titmouse, vulture, and woodpecker. Thanks for following along with this challenge! It was fun and the first art challenge I've completed in full. #Birds #BirdArt #MedievalBestiary #Medieval

A hand holding a small sketchbook showing a drawing of an acorn woodpecker with an acorn in its beak, on the side of a tree that is way too small in comparison to the bird and looks like broccoli.

#MedievalMay Days 27 & 28 - Swallow and thrush. The barn swallow and hermit thrush. Only three more birds to go! #Birds #BirdArt #MedievalArt #MedievalBestiary

A hand holding up a small sketchbook showing side by side ink and watercolor drawings of a barn swallow in flight in a gilded frame and a hermit thrush sitting on a trifecta of oak leaves and acorns.

Starling - "A bird with stars on its feathers" (bestiary.ca) The European starling was introduced to North America in the 1890s by some people who were way too into Shakespeare. #MedievalMay Day 26 #Birds #BirdArt #MedievalBestiary

A hand holding up a small sketchbook to show an ink and watercolor drawing of a small blackish purple-ish bird with white dash markings across its feathers like stars. Its bill is bright yellow and its surrounded by a square filled in with metallic bronze watercolor. A stylized script letter S is above it to the left.

Except there's no bird for U or X so that idea is a bust :(

Q is for Quail for #MedievalMay day 24 (catching up again, I took the weekend off). This is a little lady California quail. I might turn these into an alphabet zine when the month is over. #Birds #BirdArt #MedievalBestiary

A hand holding a small sketchbook so you can see the right hand page which has an ink line drawing of a female California quail, a small brown bird with white horizontal markings on its breast and sides and a protruding feather on its brow that sticks straight out. The bird is colored with brown watercolor. There's a capital letter Q to its upper right.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

Plover - "A bird that lives on nothing but air" (bestiary.ca) #MedievalMay #Birds #BirdArt #MedievalArt #SnowyPlover

Close up of a hand holding a small sketchbook with a drawing of a small black, grey and white bird, the snowy plover. The bird is striding towards the right, walking over a squiggly line and some little pebbles that look like a sandy beach. All within a rectangle with a blue sky. There is a single disconnected line on the top and two sides of the rectangle. At the bottom in gothic typography is the word "plover"

I rely on Medicaid coverage for all my healthcare, including hrt. Please contact your senators and tell them to oppose this bill. I know it feels like shouting into the void sometimes but it matters to try.

🚨 The US House of Reps have now PASSED their budget bill that includes a BAN on Gender Affirming Care for Medicaid for ALL AGES. This bill now goes to the Senate where it’s likely to pass. Call your Senators!

Happy World Goth Day! It is a common misconception that chickens can't be goth, but Lavinia enjoys Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, and Victorian poems about beautiful women dying of consumption.

Today's bird is the pheasant. Phasianus colchicus, the ring-necked pheasant. A bird introduced to the U.S. from Asia in the 1880s. Side note, I love the way trees are drawn in medieval manuscripts. #MedievalMay #BirdArt #Birds #Pheasant #MedievalBestiary

A hand holding up a small sketchbook horizontally so you can see a drawing of a ring-necked pheasant, a brightly colored brown and red bird with a blue head and red eye ring. Behind it are drawn some stylized grass and trees that look like wavy broccoli.

Also tried out a different pen for this one and today's (incoming). I've been using a pentel pocket brush pen and this is my TWSBI eco fountain pen. Colors are usually watercolor, sometimes colored pencil or pen.

If you guessed "it's a Jesus thing" you are correct. Pelicans symbolized Christ in the medieval bestiary.
