Daily Drawing 10 - Grey Catbird I've taken up birdwatching over the past few years and felt compelled to draw these little oddballs. They're a type of mockingbird (I think?) and despite sounding way worse they always make me smile. When they aren't mimicking other sounds & songs, they have a very distinctive cat-like call. Amusingly, young catbirds don't have anything else memorized, but are just as vocal as the adults, so they end up sounding like little angry cats stuck in trees.
As an aside, I'm really happy with how this one turned out. There's a lot of subtle colors in their feathers, and I tried my best to emphasize them... with some liberties.
