It's been a long time since I last wrote a blog entry and a lot has happened since August! I went to Peru and saw wild macaws and toucans and took part in a banding expedition in the rainforest. I have hundreds of pictures to upload. I also had some exciting fall banding back at home. And of all things, I banded my first House Sparrow-- ok that part wasn't as much of a thrill! But I thought I would post a new blog since this weekend I was inspired to draw again. I haven't really done any birdy art in months. But the other night I dreamt about catching Black-throated Blue Warblers so I thought I would take my tablet out and draw one. The Black-throated Blue Warbler male is so distinctive and handsome. I still have a memory of seeing one for the first time, since it was one of the very first birds I indentified on my own about 15 years ago.
I hope to write an update about my Peru trip some time in the future! But in the meantime feel free to check out my web album:
So here is the birdy art for the weekend. A Black-throated Blue Warbler and a Palm Warbler, both males in spring plumage...

Please, please draw both at work, on the white board behind our workstations. Remember... if you draw it, they will come! This winter has been long enough! :)
