[great-and-small]

Lots of discussion about which bird has the most beautiful high-contrast plumage on my other post so I say we put it to a vote. Who’s your pick?

#pretty crazy that I would not vote for STK on any list they’re a part of but that speaks to the unmatched beauty of the Nazca booby #might be the prettiest bird in the world to me #birds #polls #Nazca booby #swallow-tailed kite #pied harrier #black-and-white hawk eagle #Smew #black-billed magpie

Black-Billed Magpie (I saw one!!!)

I have never seen a magpie before! I was so surprised to see it chilling on a fence. It looked like a crow dressed up for a ball. I was driving, and pulled off to get a better look so I could identify it. The blue sheen of its feathers and long slender tail were stunning in the light of the sunset. (I saw it west of its normal range. These corvids seem as brilliant as crows in behavior and intelligence.)

#please please please click for better quality and look at the halftone texture it adds so much #the birds i picked for each sin all have a reason behind it and im so proud of that #i love talking about birds i explain my decision making to everyone possible #magpies steal #shrikes are carnivourous and kill their food on thorns #blue jays are extremely arrogant and pick fights with much larger birds #crows eat anything available #mockingbirds copy the calls of other birds #bowerbirds are known for their mating rituals #and cuckoos leave their eggs in other birds nests to avoid raising their young #illustration #digital illustration #original art #clip studio paint #seven deadly sins #black billed magpie #loggerhead shrike #blue jay #carrion crow #mockingbird #flame bowerbird #common cuckoo

Moomin characters as birds

Moomin: Snow bunting. A very cute and round bird. (And gives off the same “marshmallow vibes” as Moomin.)

Snufkin: Olive-sided flycatcher. A rather solitary species, like most tyrant-flycatchers. Migrates long distances between its breeding and wintering grounds.

I feel like a hermit thrush would also be a good bird for Snufkin, if we’re going with a music theme.

Little My would definitely be a kingbird. This one— the eastern kingbird— is only the size of a robin, but it will attack animals bigger than itself— even hawks!

Sniff: Black-billed Magpie. He likes treasure!

Snorkmaiden: Snowy plover! (Just because she likes to visit the beach!)

This is just the main quintet of characters. If you have requests for others, let me know.

A Black-Billed Magpie leaves its perch, and comes to stare at me judgmentally.

I’m in an ornithology class right now, and for our lab we have a lot of taxidermy specimens we’re able to look at.

The other day we had a leucistic magpie out and I was obsessed, it was beautiful but so strange compared to other magpies. Because of the differences in color, it lost all the sheen and iridescence magpies usually have.

I didn’t get a pic of the lab one but I bet in life it looked pretty similar to this guy:

Gorgeous! I’ve seen a couple on iNaturalist that have this soft grey color, love it when leucistic corvids (and any bird really) have diluted colors rather than stark white. That class sounds really cool!

Edit: and it does seem that lighter colors don’t show off iridescence as well as dark colors do!

Black-Billed Magpie Moodboard with themes of sunshine, trinkets and iridescence for anon.

I hope you enjoy the moodboard! I added two variants of iridescence to the board as I had accidentally misread the first time (that and I tend to repeat themes or add a new one if there aren't four themes requested, ahah)
