I actually completed this illustration of Stephens Island wrens in 2012, while I was still at SCAD, as part of a project on recently extinct birds (that I want to revamp one of these days). There are a few key giveaways that this is an old piece for me (foremost among them the bent hallux on the rightmost bird... ouch!! There's no joint there, past Virginia!!), but the coincidence was too good to not offer it up for use. This issue of Living Bird just happened to have an excerpt from #catwars about the #Stephensislandwren, and that just happened to be my favorite #extinctbird, that I had an #illustration for... #art #bird #livingbird (at Cornell Lab of Ornithology)
