A couple of birds from last weekend, when I visit my parents on Öland, of the south-eastern Sweden. A young Peregrine falcon with pray, and a Hume's Leaf Warbler. #birds #birdwatching

Shorebirds!
A three panel comic. In panel 1, two people are facing each other. The first person asks "Hey, do you want to drive really far and spend hours staring at distant, rapidly moving gray-brown objects while trying to find subtle differences between them?" and the second says "No." In panel 2, the first person says "What if they're bird-shaped?" and the second person says "Then absolutely, yes." In panel 3, the two people are standing and looking through binoculars at distant shorebirds on a beach. The first person says "Yay shorebirds season!" and the second says "Woo!"

Phytosaurs resemble modern crocodilians but at the same time they look so different! #paleoart #sciart #paleontology

Panel 2 is labeled "Osprey that caught a huge fish" and shows an osprey flying with a fish, saying "I am majesty incarnate." Panel 3 is labeled "gull that found a huge dead fish at sea and dragged it all the way to shore" and shows a herring gull dragging a dead fish and grunting "Hnngh". Panel 4 is labeled "Squirrel that missed a jump and fell into a small pond but bravely swam to safety" and shows a damp eastern gray squirrel saying "You saw nothing." Panel 5 is labeled "Crow standing on a no trespassing sign" and shows a crow standing on the sign and declaring "Your pitiful human laws are arbitrary at best." Panel 6 is labeled "Tiny pseudoscorpion clinging to an enormous beetle with one claw" and shows a pseudoscorpion on a beetle's leg saying "I'm going to ride this thing to space!"

I made this linocut from a different photo of a loon on this lake, taken a few summers ago. #loon #commonLoon #linocut #printmaking #wildlifeArt #sciart #blackAndWhite
My linocut print on 9.25” x 12.5” white Japanese paper in black ink of a swimming common loon facing away from the viewer with wings spread. Small waves appear on the surrounding water with reflections.

It’s #WorldLionDay. I was inspired by a photo my mother took in the Ngorongoro conservation area in Tanzania. It is called, “The Watchers, Ngorongoro”. The photo gives the strong impression the lions are watching the people back. ⁠🐡🧪 Lion populations are vulnerable and have decreased 43% in the 🧵

A detail from a starling altarpiece
A starling is perched on a branch around its neck as a garland of gold leaf leaves. The sting raises its head and looks directly out at you. Why has he been garlanded? Why is he there? Why is he looking at you?
