#birdtoberclub2025 Female Plumage

Kingfishers are just adorable, aren’t they?

This drawing is based on a picture I took, the first time I saw a female Green Kingfisher.

#birdtoberClub2025 Creates Non-vocal sounds

Of course the obvious choice would be a woodpecker. And they just happen to be some of my favorite birds!

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 19: Smallest in their family

Picui Ground Dove was the obvious choice. I have a whole group of them living behind my house and they’re just adorable.

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 16: Waterfowl

Yellow-billed Teal, a very common species here in Uruguay. I’m quite proud on how I achieved to create the water reflection! I used Procreate’s liquify tool and reduced the opacity of that layer.

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 10: Yellow

Between getting sick and having some commitments β€” one of them being eBird’s Big Day β€” I fell a few days behind, but better late than never.

Hooded Siskin, a very cute little bird I saw for the first time this year. In this case, it’s a male.

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 9: Juvenile

Today I was sick and low on energy, so I didn’t think much about the theme, I just filtered photos of juvenile birds on eBird, and I liked the Burrowing Owl.

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 9: Nocturnal Migrant

One of the most popular migratory birds during the Spring–Summer season in Uruguay is the Fork-tailed Flycatcher.

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 6: Coniferous Forest

Since there are no Coniferous Forests in Uruguay, I went with Forest and chose a Green-barred Woodpecker :)

#birdtoberClub2025 Day 4: Extravagant Tail

The Strange-Tailed Tyrant is endangered. I haven’t been lucky enough to see one, sadly. Hopefully one day. :’)

Cropped tile of a repeating pattern for red eyed crocodile skinks, fern clips and both pink and yellow rhododendrons, against a simple flower-like geometrical pattern in a lavender tone.

In a comic strip panel, person in a red shirt walks through a sunlit forest. The text says "Sometimes I go looking for a tiny part of the universe."

"This part only takes up as much space as: half an apple, a salt shaker, or 2 ping pong balls." Each of these items is shown.

Galaxies and stars swirl as the text says "But somehow, in an unfathomably huge universe," and then there's a complex mess of forest leaves, with one tiny Wilson's warbler in one corner, and the text says "this one tiny part"

There's a close up of the warbler, blazing yellow against a sparkly yellow background, and the text says "can fill up my whole heart."

A vintage-style drawing of a mother fox wearing an old-fashioned dress and carrying a wicker basket on her arm while instructing her kit on how to forage for wild garlic in the forest. Trees, leaves and a wood fence frame the scene

A digital drawing of a light blue penguin in the snow with orange feet, beak, and eyes, and a turquoise bobble hat and scarf. He is pushing a snowball to make a snowman, and the background is some blurry snowy hills and mountains.
