Truly Hipsters (G)

These are birds with less than 1000 views on eBird- well, those leftover who didn't quite make it into the main bracket. They're truly hipster birds, I'm surprised anyone submitted them.

Xiuhtecuhtli is the lord of fire, time, and wisdom. He is unmoving point at the center of the cosmos, about whom all being spins.Day Atl (Water, known as Muluc in Maya) is governed by Xiuhtecuhtli, God of Fire, as its provider of tonalli (Shadow Soul) life energy. Atl is a day for purification by subjecting oneself to the ordeal of conflict. It is a good day for battle, a bad day for rest. Water brings out the scorpion, who must sting its enemies or else sting itself. Atl is the day of the holy war, which is always a battle with one's own enemies within. Xiuhtecuhtli, the Turquoise Lord, Teótl of fire, time, wisdom, and the hearth. He is the unmoving point around which all being pivots. He is recognized by his red skin and hair, his black mouth and band across his eyes. He wears a blue cotinga in his headdress. He stands at the center of a jade disk, and is wreathed in flame.art by Corazon Mexica art by Corazon Mexica

The significance of this day :

1-Tochtli is the day for the feast of Xiuhtecuhtli, Lord of the Year, and Fire God.

Xiuhtecuhtli, the Turquoise Lord, Teótl of fire, time, wisdom, and the hearth. He is the unmoving point around which all being pivots.

He is recognized by his red skin and hair, his black mouth and band across his eyes. He wears a blue cotinga in his headdress. He stands at the center of a jade disk, and is wreathed in flame.

Xiuhtecuhtli is one of the main deities of the Mexica spirituality. His name means Lord of Flames, Lord of Turquoise and Lord of Years, as He is an incarnation of the destructive, yet purifying power of heat.

Main Brackets!

There are four brackets [Fave, Pretty, True, Four] comprising of 32 birds, for a total of 128 birds in this poll! I will reblog a version of this post with every bird listed via text within their bracket, so it is easier to find for those with image issues. It's gonna take a while to actually put the posts together for the first round, seeing as there are 64 battles happening, so expect the polls to go up around July 12th.

Below is a link for submitting any cool facts or info about the birds you want to win. It's not necessary to send info here, but I like to give the option to infodump about birds, and it helps with keeping things organized. As a heads up, the submission box is capped at one response only (with up to three birds in said response) just to keep things from getting cluttered.

As per tumblr etiquette, you are totally free to reblog the polls themselves with as much propoganda as you want. These submissions are just to help me fill the poll post with some cool facts.

May 13, 2017 - Red-banded Fruiteater (Pipreola whitelyi)

These fruiteaters are found in a small area from southeastern Venezuela to Guyana. They live in mossy mountain forests, sometimes foraging in mixed-species flocks. Little is known of their diet, but like most fruiteaters they are thought to feed entirely on fruit. Despite their small range, their population appears to be stable and they are classified as a species of Least Concern by the IUCN.

ENG Have to say that I spent way more time on this picture than I had expected. But I liked the result. This is a Banded Cotinga, and I used this beautiful picture as reference since I had no idea of how to paint that bird: https://www.wikiaves.com.br/1010103&t=s&s=11370

PT-BR Tenho que admitir que demorei bem mais tempo do que eu tinha pensado para fazer essa ilustra, mas gostei do resultado. Esse é o crejoá (eu sei, ô nome), e usei essa foto de referência, já que eu estava sem inspiração para pensar numa boa pose: https://www.wikiaves.com.br/1010103&t=s&s=11370
