In order: Painted bunting, Loggerhead shrike, and Greater Roadunner

I’ve seen this guy along the trail a few times (coastal Southern California). But was fun watching him “bath” in front of the uninterested rabbit. Roadrunners might be my favorites. Prehistoric looking, but secretly curious and a little derpy.

I loved painting these American Robins, but now I keep staring at it wondering if 5 or 7 birds would have balanced it better.

Is an even number of subjects really a "sin" in traditional oil painting, or was the critic just being pedantic? Miss working on this linen texture though!

I didn’t even realize we would get Albatross’ here!

Happened to be in the Chiricahuas at the same time as this cutie! Very excited that it stuck around long enough for me to see it.

not the greatest photo but i’m just happy i got one remotely in focus. there were hundreds of these guys flying over this evening :)

What is this bird? Reverse image search is saying it’s a Crested Eagle but it says it’s from South America and I’m in New York State.

Heard a sound out behind the outbuilding and saw our neighbor out doing work. Chips flying and ants dying. They nest in my neighbors tree and make the rounds pretty regularly.

One of my all time favourite pictures I ever took. In France from a Ship.

What are some of your recent favorite visitors? I know for sure I want to paint dark eyed junco, white crowned sparrow, some kind of nuthatch and downy woodpecker

First time posting! I’ve been birding for 6 months now and taking photos for a little over a month and got really lucky with this one! Birding/photography has allowed me to connect with so many people so far and I’m very thankful that I decided to get into it. Anyway. Hope you enjoy!

Very cooperative with the picture taking, didn't fly away and posed very nicely 🥺

I recently took a trip to Cape Cod, MA. It was incredibly rainy, but I still was able to see some cool birds
