Anyone good at bird ID? For a week or so, I've been taking pics of this little fellow, and Merlin is giving me nothing. But if I try to get a closer shot the bird flies away.
I think it's a Carolina Chickadee but I'm new at this stuff.
I heard this bird call for the first time and I was wondering what kind of bird it is? It sounds so sweet. Also I’m not talking about the mourning dove, I’m talking about the “pew pew pew pipipipipipi”
Oh yeah! While I’m at it. Saw this a week ago, on 2.7.2022. Poor baby, it’s that time of the year again when the clueless baby birds are about. Tit of some kind, I’m thinking blue tit but could be a great tit too. Not quite an expert on two-dimensional baby birds here, but definitely a tit.
But yes, very small and very flat bird. I saw a slightly older very much alive blue tit baby the other day, sitting in the middle of a cycle path. Literally would not move, even when I gently nudged it with my foot. It didn’t register any passing bikes as a threat, it seemed that anything passing by was a potential parent returning with food for that thing. So I can totally see how easily lone baby birds can get pancaked. I moved it out of the road, just a little bit to the side, didn’t touch it with my hands. I hope it’s fine, but I’m also pretty sure chicks that young shouldn’t be out of the nest, so.
Your art style is just so delicious!!! It’s got such low key Ghibli vibes, especially in the eyes, and your color control is fantastic. You’re amazing, keep rockin it! ✨
aw yay, Ghibli vibes!! I grew up on those movies, they've definitely inspired me to create. Thank you sm <3
wanted to draw some small ghibli ghoap after getting this ask. 'Ghost's moving castle'
Day 13 of January extinct birds - the Delalande's coua
Couas are terrestrial, non-parasitic cuckoos that are endemic to Madagascar. This coua might have been only on the island of Sainte-Marie to the east of Madagascar, though there are claims they were on the mainland too. There have been no confirmed reports since 1834, but things are a little vague.
A mock up character sheet for my interpretation of The Hero in Slay the Princess. (Hope I'm in time for the raffle im cutting it awfully close) Just played the demo and I can't wait for the full release. Below is the first concepts and brainstorming.
