I'm delighted to be able to share my latest artwork for the Songbirding podcast and audiobook series! Singing female American Redstart, because female birds definitely do sing and we're finally starting to pay attention.

[Image description: a long-crested eagle in profile with the head at a slight angle to show its eye and beak very clearly. Its perched on a round fence post with a field with trees and possibly mountains further back in the background, the eagle and post are very clear while the rest seems to have an opaque white filter over it. /ID]

long-crested eagle (lophaetus occipitalis) from saturday! we watched him swoop off the post and disappear into the long grass on the side of the road, only to return empy-clawed a few seconds later

I am 43 years old, and I'd never seen a duck in a tree until today.

Never even considered the possibility that a duck could be in a tree.

I watched it for several minutes, genuinely fascinated at the sight of a duck in a tree.

Because folks liked my latest pigeon comic so much, here's another pigeon piece!

I made this a couple years ago for a sadly now defunct publication called Pipe Wrench. I hope this piece helps spread more pigeon love.

[Image description: A crow perched on a white road sign with red text saying "NO", the rest of the sign is cut off. The crow is perched, so its front talons are on the front of the sign, and it's looking down, seemingly like it's reading the sign from above. Crows are large, all black birds with glossy feathers, its beak, legs, and eyes are all black as well. /ID]

NO photo taken by me

[Image description: A photo of an adult male great-tailed grackle perched on the back of an outdoor chair. The bird is angled so its tail and right side are visible while it's looking over its right shoulder, which displays its beak and right eye. Adult male great-tailed grackles are iridescent black with yellow eyes and have a long v-shaped tail. /ID]
