Although it's Draw a Bird Day, there are many birds in this picture. 現在還在趕工中，放上之前跟好朋友猛禽會一起出的桌曆圖一角來參加活動！ 在中心治療的領角鴞們知道天花板上有隻巨大猛禽會是什麼表情？ 希望趕快有後續進度可以公布～

Another birdy that I forgot to post earlier!

When I found out from the RSPB’s twitter that it was ‘Draw a picture of a bird day”, I realised this is the perfect opportunity to draw peafowl again! It’s been too long since my last one. The subject of this rough study is a peahen named Andromeda, belonging to @kedreeva. I previously did studies of her late hen, Beep.

#DrawABirdDay Inspo

Have a budding artist or ornithologist in your home? Tomorrow, April 8th, is #DrawABirdDay and we’re here to provide some avian inspiration!

Click on a bird or a booklink and get doodling! 

John Gould's The birds of Europe, with many gorgeous illustrations by his wife Elizabeth: s.si.edu/2FZBFru   Learn more about Elizabeth & her role on our blog: s.si.edu/2USxcfj

Madame Knip's Les pigeons. And as dramatic as the pigeons are, the book itself comes with a bit of publishing drama ( read more: https://s.si.edu/39xHs20) . 📖Find the whole book in @biodivlibrary​: https://s.si.edu/2Wg8STA .

Jacob H. Sturm's "The birds of North America" (1895) packs a lot of #DrawABirdDay inspiration in each plate. Painter Theodore Jasper provided the bird portraits on which the plates were based. 📖Find the whole book in @BioDivLibrary  : s.si.edu/3aRIQ0Q .

Finally, the obvious choice - John James Audubon! Our copy of The Birds of America in @BioDivLibrary is not the famous double-elephant, but smaller, more affordable version with text borrowed from his Ornithological Biography : s.si.edu/2lQyU0d

A little bird told me it was Draw a Bird Day. In keeping with my current theme, here’s one of Tolkien’s Crebain.

apparently yesterday was draw a bird day, so here’s a drawing I made of my parakeet yesterday and colored today
