BOTD: Barrow's Goldeneye
Tumblr media
Photo: Nicole Beaulac
"The less numerous of the two goldeneye species, found mainly in wild country of northwestern North America, with small populations in eastern Canada and Iceland. Occurs in small groups in winter on cold waters, sometimes associating with Common Goldeneye flocks. Since it does not always nest in tree cavities, Barrow's may nest farther north than Common Goldeneye, extending north of treeline."

A Milwaukee Duck Feathursday
There are field guides and then there are field guides, and the famed Wisconsin conservationist and UW-Madison professor of Wildlife Management Aldo Leopold believes that this field guide is a step above: The Ducks, Geese and Swans of North America by Canadian engineer, businessman, and conservationist Francis H. Kortright (1887–1972), illustrated by the Canadian ornithologist and artist Terence Michael Shortt (1911-1986), and published in Washington, D.C. by the American Wildlife Institute in 1943.
In the introduction to the book, Leopold laments that "the existing literature on the identification of waterfowl describes manly their spring plumages. This is of little avail to the sportsman who is afield mainly in the fall, and it hardly suffices for the ornithologist, who is afield at all seasons." But in this guide, Leopold writes, "Mr. Kortright has sensed the need for a year-round waterfowl book and has done a scholarly job of writing one. . . . I do find much useful and interesting subject matter which most ornithologists omit. . . ." That Kortright has no formal training as a zoologist does not phase Leopold: "While he disclaims being an ornithologist, I detect no lack of ornithological competence in what he has written."
Of the illustrations, he writes, "Mr. Shortt's paintings, portraying all of the more important plumages of a given species, in themselves justify the publication of this volume." That both author and illustrator are Canadians also seems a plus: "To my mind it is appropriate that this book should issue from the pen of a Canadian. Canada is the birthplace of most waterfowl; this book attests her growing activity in waterfowl research and conservation."
We represent this field guide with images of some ducks most commonly found in our Milwaukee area: the Mallard, Wood Duck, and Blue-winged Teal are present in summer, with the Mallard and Wood Duck as year-round residents, while the Mergansers, Bufflehead, and Goldeneye are most prevalent in winter. We end with a couple of plates of random goslings and ducklings. Why? Well, because they're just so darn adorable!

my friends playing through hzd and his computer should be able to run the game pretty smoothly but it keeps fucking it up and he sent me a screenshot and I have to keep restraining myself from looking at it because it makes me want to laugh so hard I throw up

Been doing B&W tracework art for World of Darkness NPCs, thought I’d stretch my understanding of layers & brushes to try some colour work.
This is Katy O’Brian as Gideon the Ninth. I tried to do darker skin as is canon, and then mimic the greasepaint used by Ninth House as if it were running with sweat after a stiff fight. God knows I remember the rivulets of sweat from my sparring days!

I took a long break from social media and it felt so good. It was very needed and I honestly should do that more often 👏 So to start this new year, here's a little portrait I made for fun and practice 😊

Male Common Goldeneyes, like other ducks, are funny and silly in their breeding season, and are scored based on this ability.
