Today is International #SaveTheVaquita Day! 🎉 With fewer than 20 left, the Vaquita is the world's most endangered marine mammal. I painted this piece in the hope of raising awareness for vaquita.day. #Cetacean #Whales #Porpoise #Endangeredspecies #Conservation #Animalart #Sciart #NatureArt
A painting of 3 Vaquitas swimming underwater among some corals and underwater plant life. 

This painting was made for Save the Vaquita Week 2026 in hopes of raising funds and awareness to help the vaquita come back from possible extinction. 

Save the Vaquita Postcard Print is a limited run of 100 signed 5x7 inch postcard prints, on premium cardstock, and will be signed and numbered on the back.

This hand painted original postcard print is a little token and a reminder that you made a difference in helping the Vaquita. All funds will be donated directly to porpoise.org for Save the Vaquita Week!

A watercolour painting of a Crimson Rosella perched on a brown branch. Mostly red with a blue throat and light beak. There’s some blue in the wings and tail. Background is unpainted.

What Bird?🦜 @whatbirds.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue and photo credit) 🌍 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉🐧🦆🦩🦅🪿🦚
A medium-sized bird (36–42 cm / 14–17 in long) perches upright on a leafy branch against a soft, out-of-focus background. It features chestnut-brown wings, a streaked brown and white chest, a long dark tail, a prominent white stripe above its sharp red eye, and a slightly hooked black beak.

Clue: Look closely above my red eye for a striking white stripe and listen for my low, bubbling call echoing across the thickets, savannas, and wetlands of sub-Saharan Africa and the southwestern Arabian Peninsula!

Fun Fact: Unlike most of its kind, which are notorious nest parasites, this species builds its own messy, dome-shaped nest and raises its own chicks—with the male doing most of the egg incubation and chick feeding!

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

A Spectacled owl for #birdtober2026 I can’t say I liked this watercolour painting but it’s growing on me…
A watercolour painting of a spectacled owl perched in a large horizontal. ochre coloured branch. It has bright yellow eyes, brown head with white what looks like ‘eyebrows’ and white feathers around the beak and chin and what looks like a brown moustache below the beak. The beak is a light colour. The belly is light with brown specks. The bird is facing the camera. Background is olive green.

A black-throated gray warbler for the #BirdSupermodel theme of #BirdOfTheDay To me, she looked like she was posing for an Audubon painting, except that JJ would probably have killed her first, as he typically would do with his models. #birds #nature #photography #ECK #UnsungBirds
Female black-throated gray warbler perched on a yellow lichen-covered branch and leaning down to grab a tiny bug. The bird is a female and therefore has a white throat. She is gray on top, white below and gray and white striped on the sides. The lore is bright yellow.

What Bird?🦜 @whatbirds.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌍 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉🐧🦆🦩🦅🪿🦚
A small, plump songbird (approx. 12–13.5 cm / 5–5.5 in long) perches on a thin branch against a blurred green foliage background. The bird features a crisp white belly, dark black upperparts, dark eyes, a small pointed black beak, and a distinct white patch above its forehead.

Clue: I am a tiny migratory bird known for catching insects mid-air. True to my common name, I wear a bold pattern of black and white, and my male plumage sports a distinct white forehead patch.

Fun Fact: Once a male establishes a nest site and attracts a female to lay eggs, he will often fly off to set up a second nest nearby to court a second female, leaving the first female to do much of the early incubation work alone.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

Immature rufous hummingbird has landed on a twig with its wings behind it. It is perched on a spider flower plant with red flowers and bright green pinnate leaves. Based on vocalizations, and images of the tail feathers it is not an Allen’s which are very rare in our inland area.

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌎 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉🐧🦆🦩🦅🪿🦚
A small, vibrant green songbird (11.5–13 cm / 4.5–5.1 in long) perched on a thin tree branch amid broad green leaves. It features a bright yellow crown, black markings around its eye and bill, black-streaked green wings, and subtle bluish-gray feet.

Clue: This jewel-toned songbird from the humid cloud forests of Central and South America gets its common name from a brilliant, precious gemstone.

Fun Fact: Despite its scientific name this bird isn't native to the U.S. state of Florida—florida comes from the Latin word for "flowery" or "blooming," referring to its bright, lush plumage!

A watercolour painting of a resplendent quetzal on a large brown moss covered branch. I used a fineliner pen to draw the details. The bird has a green-yellow crest that sticks up and green feathers under chin. Beak is pale orange/brown. It has turquoise feathers on back and tail and purple belly with light turquoise for upper wing feathers and dark blue for lower wing feathers. Background shows light green leaves on the left and a light olive bokeh background.
