butch(er) birds for pride month

[chaotic-neutral-knitter]

very disappointing when someone says "the bird app" and for one lovely moment I think they are talking about Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab, the free app that allows you to identify birds by appearance or sound, make a list of birds you have seen, and explore all the birds native to your region.... and then I realize they are talking about twitter.

if you have trouble identifying cormorants, i recommend this video from birdwalkz youtube, which has a lot of great info on aussie birds. not only is it a great way to get to know the different cormorant species it has gems like this

Great crested grebe! My new favourite bird specie! The excitement from seeing them in real life is still with me.

I'm so happy to know this specie! Just check out their beautiful crests! Now I have to wish to see them in mating season to witness it unfolded.

Though, before that I have to see them a bit closer than a fortunately recognizable shape in the middle of river, haha! They didn't want to swim in the direction of the bank at all on that day!

As references for this art I used photos by @kavohh707 . Check out their blog! The photos are wonderful. You have to see their photos of grebes with chicks!!!🥺🥺🥺
