Hey folks! The Waymakers mileage challenge starts September 1, in support of the Young Center which fights for the rights of immigrant kids in the US. Funds go to getting kids in contact with family, getting school supplies for them, and other direct impacts. Like last year, I'll draw birds for those who donate here. I don't get anything from this myself, but donating there will send me an email so I can keep track.

If/when you donate, please be sure to let me know your tumblr name and what bird you would like to see!

And I'm so glad that I already have my first one done! Thanks so much to @chromatic-lamina for the donation, and the AWESOME suggestion of a Willie-Wagtail, I love these guys so much!

Round 1, Poll 18

Japanese Paradise Flycatcher vs Willie-Wagtail

Japanese Paradise Flycatcher Propaganda

"Look at it! It's even got eyeliner! It's so fabulous."

Their habitat is described as: "shady mature deciduous or mixed forest and plantations on low hills and mountains, but prefers wooded valleys with streams at lower elevations in Central Japan; in Southern Japan also in broadleaf evergreen forest." - BoW

Willie-Wagtail Propaganda

"These birds have such angry eyebrows! And it's always a joy to see them bobbing around after insects. And, y'know, the name is hilarious."

Once these birds pair up, both sexes will sing. They will often have similar, shared phrases between them, with some patterns sounding like "sweet pretty creature", "pretty little creature", or "sweet pretty little cree-a-ture".
