What If Birds Left Tracks in the Sky?

Photographer: Xavi Bou 

An arctic tern creates an unusual shape as it takes flight.

A beautifully ornate pattern made up of a flock of Northern lapwings.

A group of corn buntings seem to erupt out of the ground.

A female falcon was equipped with a satellite tracking system in South Africa before migrating to Finland. Image shows tracker data. In just 42 days, she flew over 10.000 km, at an incredible average of 230 km per day and nearly in a straight line.

Petit Manan Lighthouse, Petit Manan Island, Steuben. Possibly my favorite lighthouse. In the summer, this island is home to hundreds of birds. Including Atlantic puffins, arctic, common and roseate terns, as well as black guillemots and many more. Decided I couldn't draw them all, but here's a couple attempts to try and capture the island's vibes. Can you spot the oystercatchers? MERCH

And I immediatly made a second attempt at this concept. I'm quite happy with this one. Not a lot changed, but I feel like it reads better.

Friends going their separate ways. Who knows what stories they'll have to tell each other when they meet up again.

I don't know what birds feel when they fly. I hope it's a similar joy to the one I feel when I watch them.
