Birds I've drawn for ornithology. The colored ones are ones I've seen while out on walks and the black and white sketches are for an assignment focused on foraging adaptations :>

top bird photographs of 2023. i didn't necessarily choose the best photos that i've taken, but rather the ones that i like the best. 2024 is the year i'm going to start heading out further and further and finding new habitats - most of what's surrounding and near to me is forest and broad-leafed woodland and, well, it shows. more wetlands, more deserts, more ocean, more grasslands
