#Curve-billed Thrasher

[textless]

This is the same spot where our baby bunnies hung out for a few days, now with a big gopher snake!

The thrashers are extremely interested in the snake, and I wonder if they see it as a threat to their nest.

Cochise County, Arizona, May 2024.

Curve-Billed Thrasher

I finished this piece a while ago and it was accepted into the show I submitted it to. I forgot to post it here last night when I posted it on Cara, because I have one of those now.

Some studies and silly doodles of my field practice from weeks ago

ID: several drawings of birds. Top left there's a Cassin's kingbird painted realistically, its legs aren't drawn; to its left, its scientific name (Tyrannus vociferans) is written, while to its right, there's a note in spanish that translates to "This individual pecked at me", with an arrow pointing to this bird. Following towards the right, there are three scanned drawings of birds drawin with pen and colored digitally, they're an american coot, a great egret and a curve-billed thrasher. Below these, there's another scan of a vermilion flycatcher, colored realistically except for the fingers that hold it. Its head feathers are fluffed up, and it is raising its wings; it has its scientific name written above his head (Pyrocephalus rubinus) and a little note written in spanish that could translate to "angery", like "angry". On the other side, there's a photo taken through binoculars where the Cassin´s kingbird has been redrawn over the original, it is sitting on a branch and looking to the right. Below this, there's a doodle of the artist's fursona, running towards the left with urgency, holding a table, a bird guide and binoculars.
