Bird #89 - leucistic Bohemian waxwing! (LC)

Largest of the waxwings, these divas are found all throughout the northern hemisphere. The 'wax' tips on their wings are actually just extensions of their flight feathers, coloured by carotenoids from the berries they eat!

I've been fighting some art block but finally managed to make something I actually like :D painting white or black things is so fun
