Day one of #AvianAugust. Which means a month of drawing a new bird every day. This years theme is Hawaiian birds!

Though I’m a day late to the game, here’s my drawing for August 1st’s bird, the ʻIʻiwi, AKA scarlet honeycreeper, AKA Drepanis coccinea.

American Kestrel
Like most birds, a kestrel hovering above a field can see far more colors than a human can, including ultraviolet. As rodents move through the grass, they leave behind trails of urine, which glow ultraviolet. The freshest trails shine brightest. ~Kateri Kosek

This week, Maine got a rare treat: a roseate spoonbill showed up in Cutler—only 45 minutes from me! I drove up the coast to take a peek. What a weirdo. Life bird number 261. So glad it made the trip from Florida. Maine summer is where it's at.

Friday was International Guillemot Appreciation Day! Can’t believe I missed it again, but really, shouldn’t everyday be guillemot appreciation day? Here’s some BLGU art I created for National Audubon’s Seabird Institute.

Here's the June painting from, The Forest Revealed.
So much happening this month. Cecropia moths are active, pitchers plants are blooming, hummingbirds are nesting, fawns are taking it all in, and the leaves are their most vibrant shades of green. Gotta love June.
