We're running low, but there are some of these left! Three extinct North American birds heralding extinction before a setting sun. The most famous is the Passenger Pigeon. But the Ivory Billed Woodpecker has been I'm the news as of late, with thus far unconfirmed sightings. But maybe the least we'll known, is the Carolina Parakeet, a kind of conure once found in the warm American South. #passengerpigeon #ivorybilledwoodpecker #carolinaparakeet #extinct #extinction #sciart #nativewildlife #wildlifepin #nature #enamelpin #birds #birder #northamericanbirds #pigeon #woodpecker #conure (at Scribbles Art Collective) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiRLk6VARxI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Collie insists that she knows where Wilson’s crow friend is.

“It’s just this way!” She calls to the Pigeon.

Wilson isn’t so sure about this strange bird and her antics.

On the anniversary of Martha’s death, nothing makes me feel loss quite as much as thinking about all the species that went extinct before I was even born . . . #species #speciessurvival #subspecies #extinction #martha #passengerpigeon #stellarseacow #goldentoad #thylacine #caribbeanmonkseal #monkseal #japanesesealion #dodo #barbarylion #mexicangrizzlybear #grizzlybear #grizzly #levuanamoth #helpless #wishicouldgoback # https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch_VDLPOzSu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today I tried my hand, once again, at turning drawings into embroidery files, this time featuring every piece of fanart made of Macklemore, my cat

I made the decision to switch embroidery programs a couple days ago. I had been using Embird before, which I have been liking less and less. I’d originally downloaded it for its ability to convert an image into an embroidery file, which it wasn’t even that great at. I tried a couple new-to-me programs and settled on Inkscape.

It’s the best program I’ve use yet, for sure. I definitely haven’t mastered it yet, but I feel like I’m getting better embroidery files already. The only things I haven’t quite got the knack of is figuring out how to get the machine to cut the thread when I want it to, and I can’t determine how to have a non outlined full stitch section.

I feel I’m successfully able to have good control over the embroidery files and that the product looks the same as the plan. I’m thinking I might try making some patches with solid embroidered borders next.

One hundred and seven years ago today the last known Passenger Pigeon, Martha, died. Martha was living at the Cincinnati Zoo and thought to be between 28 and 29 years old. At one point Passenger Pigeons were the most abundant bird on the planet, with estimates of between 3 and 5 billion individuals. Unfortunately, due to hunting on a massive scale and habitat destruction they went extinct in a relatively short time. This carving of a Passenger Pigeon was created by Bob Spear, and the mural in the background was painted by Libby Davidson. #passengerPigeon #ExtinctBirds #ectopistesmigratorius (at Birds of Vermont Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTSnEz9vlyT/?utm_medium=tumblr

“MARTHA, THE LAST PASSENGER PIGEON”

By John A. Ruthven

Once the most numerous bird in the U.S., the last passenger pigeon died in 1914 despite the best efforts of the Cincinnati Nature Center to keep the species alive. 10 years later Cincinnati wildlife artist and conservationist John Ruthven was born and before long he had been dubbed the  20th century Audubon. To celebrate Cincinnati’s ongoing commitment to wildlife preservation and commemorate the 100th anniversary of Martha’s death Ruthven worked with an ArtWorks Cincinnati team of artists and youth apprentices led by Tim Parsley to create this large-scale reproduction of his 40-year-old work depicting Martha and her flock soaring over the historic Bird Run at the Cincinnati Zoo.

A print of passenger pigeons! Once among the most numerous species in North America, they were consumed to extinction by humans. The phrase "stool pigeon" derives from the practice of capturing one of these birds, plucking out its eyes, then placing it on a stump (or stool) so that its cries of helpless distress would draw a large flock of its sympathetic brethren to be shot down by waiting hunters. #nofilter #noedit #antiquestores #antiquing #antique #antiques #vintage #thrift #thrifting #prints #birds #extinctspecies #passengerpigeon https://www.instagram.com/p/CB_pbeXM3TK/?igshid=1lm2e2ha5evn8
