The unlikely comeback of America’s most endangered songbird Conservationists went to dramatic lengths to save the birds, including pumping boiling hot water into the ground to ward off fire ants.

In 2014 when I started working with Grasshopper Sparrows in Kansas, I was so sure that Florida Grasshopper Sparrows would be extinct within the decade.

Now look at this headline πŸ₯Ή

Day 30 of #BirbFest2025 - Black Headed Gull.

Since I've been working with a somewhat white paper, a bird which is primarily white, is kinda difficult to work with, so opted to try something different from few references.

A black and white pencil sketch of a black headed gull bird with a frumpy expression, sketched for Birbfest 2025.

This is a rough sketch of a black headed gull bird for day 30 of #birbfest2025. The birb's likely preparing to take flight, but I like to imagine it is stomping frumpily.

I'll create some paintings from some of the challenge birbs...

An original digital illustration by Loadofolbobbins of a Black headed Gull walking in sand. The illustration shows a close up of the front of the hill as it’s walking in from the right hand side of the image. It has fresh bright white chest and neck feathers that lead up to the distinct area of black feathers on its head. The wings are a light cool grey and its webbed feet are a rich dark reddish pink, partly concealed by a small pile of sand. The background of the image is a splash inky wash of light grey and blue.

Here’s a rather windswept Black-headed Gull for the penultimate day of #BirbFest2025 can’t believe we’re almost at the end…although I do have 5 birbs to catch up on! πŸ˜…

After over 100 years, Polynesian storm petrels have returned to Kamaka Island. Rat eradication and innovative conservation techniques, with strong community support, led to this remarkable success story, per Liz Kimbrough for @mongabay.bsky.social
