  1. What a strange day. A Prothonotary Warbler sighting made the Rare Bird listing today. After breaking the long-term temperature record of 38.8℃ yesterday at 39.4℃ woke up to cool weather and rain. Since today was a volunteer workday we worked on the large tree recovery (a Red Oak) by starting the bucking process and removing as many dangerous limbs and bent trees as possible. It rained the entire time with a stiff north breeze and a steady temperature of 21℃ for which I was not ready. Chilled and soaked to the bone. Had to use the gas pole saw since my battery unit can't handle rain. Still much to do there next week. The whiplash from 39+ to 21 is tough. I'm sure next week back at 38℃ will be just as tough.

  6. Continuing with some more bird art... Here's the Kererū, a species of pigeon native to New Zealand.

    This was done, slowly with almost 5 hours put in to layer with different shades (from different brands) to add some more visual texture than just one solid shade.

  7. so @thebluemango.in has been telling me I should draw #birds for her, and finally she found a bird she wanted me to try drawing.

    Look at this South Island takahē, a flightless swamphen indigenous to New Zealand and the largest living member of the rail family.

  8. Day 30 of #BirbFest2025 - Black Headed Gull.

    Since I've been working with a somewhat white paper, a bird which is primarily white, is kinda difficult to work with, so opted to try something different from few references.
