Front view of a male zebra finch on a perch. His head is turned to the right and he is looking at the camera.

Beep was wondering why his treats were 5 minutes late today…

I can practically feel the chilly winter evening and the last vestiges of the sunset, my goodness

An oil painting of a female Northern Cardinal, sitting on a lichen-encrusted branch. She's soft yellow-brown with red accents on her tail, wings, crest, and beak, and with a black mask. Her mood is fluffed up and relaxed, looking forward. The background is dark with sparkles of golden light. The artist's watermark reads: copyright Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" featherdust dot com.

"Everbright On Dark Days" Female Northern Cardinal, 10"x8" Oil on panel

The days are dark and short, and my mood seems to follow. But sometimes a thin ray of sun cuts through for a moment, and lights up the things I love, reminding me of how wonderful and beautiful they are, and it keeps me going

A Northern Cardinal kicks up snow as he hops along the boardwalk railing. From this angle he looks like he has tiny little wings for a Cardinal.

A little less than a half hour left !

Sale ends tonight at 9PM EST !

A photo of a dark ash-red check feral pigeon with light leg and toe feathering, stood outside on a window sill, looking at the viewer

Today's Pecan! It's been a while since I've taken a photo of him, but he appears most days, just doesn't stick around if there's nothing immediately happening

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.

I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

A ground-dwelling bird with speckled brown and gray plumage walks among green plants and fallen leaves.

I love the Buffy-crowned Wood-Partridges in the highlands of Costa Rica. They're silly little birds that travel around in flocks. These used to be very difficult to find because of hunting, but they're getting much easier with protections in certain areas.

Thank you so much!! I’ve been using acrylic model paints for them recently, the vibrancy of those paints is wonderful.

Thank you!!

A Tūī, a dark bird from New Zealand with a white ball of feathers at its throat and a collar of lacy silver threadlike feathers around its neck, stands on a curved branch. Sunlight catches its iridescent feathers so that they shine in a rainbow of colors.

I haven’t been posting as much since I’ve been working on commissions and on packaging merch that will be mailed to Japan for Bird Fes Asakusa. Hoping to have everything finished soon so I can have some art time for myself! 🐥

A male zebra finch on a perch. His neck is extended and stretched downwards so his beak can reach his leg feathers.

How is this the same bird…

Digital illustration of a juvenile Northern Saw-Whet Owl looking directly at the viewer. It clings to a single branch in the shadows, only very slightly obscured by impressionistic bright white cedar branches. The background is a mottled mix of light and shadow. The bird, a very small owl, has a large head with two golden eyes.

Day 3 #ArtAdventCalendar this year! This juvenile Northern Saw-whet Owl, which I had a lot of fun with in making that stark white ghostly cedar as a sort of pattern rather than aiming for realism with it. I think it turned out pretty cool!

Thank you all for the support 🐥💗

Digital illustration of a male California Quail. This image is a portrait to focus on the colorful patterns on the quails head, in black and white and yellow and blue-gray, and the little curlicue feather plume that protrudes from his forehead. The background is a mix of simple vegetation patterns.

California Quail from a previous Waymakers year. So round!

He’s possibly the coziest bird on earth!
