Another mother and baby scene. Cute, right? Mama is feeding her chick a spider. Yum.
Whopping Crane and Chick
Birds
Manx Shearwater
I’m pleased by the perspective on the beak and eye feathers.
Baby Robin
I like how angry he looks, and those crazy eyebrow feathers. I’m not thrilled about the hand, but it’s not really the focus of this drawing.
Baby Crow
Baby Crow, just as fierce as the adult.
Collared Scops Owl
Cutie bird. This is not a chick. He is full grown. They are just that small and squat.
Common Snipe
I’m not sure I got the beak right on this one. They look longer in other pictures. He’s a shore bird, a thick-bodied wader.
Mallard
A simple line drawing, possibly one of the rushed ones.
Rockhopper Penguin
Adorable crazy hair/eyebrow feathers. What personality!
Great Tit
I suppose it’s the smart-ass in me that loves to mess with language, but every time I see a bird named “great something” I always secretly wonder if are other versions of this bird that are “not so great.” Is there a “So so Tit,” a “Really Fucking Boring Tit,” or even an “Eh Tit.” (And yes, I know that the answer is “No, and grow up, you silly snickering teenager.” But also, “Ha ha, great tit.”)
