Flickers always remind me to feel lucky to live in a world with birds.
Something about an earth-toned bird with highlighter orange feather shafts always gets to me (on the East Coast Norther Flicker’s have yellow feather shafts)
yes i'm still doing these!! i wasn't able to finish them all before my final exam (got an A+ in the class tho yay!!) so i wanted to take a breather before finishing them afterwards. also i totally got thrown into lamin research like right after the semester ended so i've been BUSY!!!
anyways, last two are accipitriformes and passeriformes. recommended me some passeriformes to include so that i can try to capture the diversity of the order!!!
