*not mine but I wanted to share the American Kestrel. I’ve never been personally able to photograph the one that hangs around outside my college but I can share other photography of the graceful tiny predator.

It’s American Kestrel hours up in here! Everybody love the American Kestrel.

Anna’s Hummingbird by Kip Hutchison Via Flickr: MEASUREMENTS Both Sexes Length: 3.9 in (10 cm) Weight: 0.1-0.2 oz (3-6 g) Wingspan: 4.7 in (12 cm This little Hummer past me several times before I was able to shoot it. Anna’s Hummingbirds are a blur of motion as they hover before flowers looking for nectar and insects. Listen for the male’s scratchy metallic song and look for him perched above head level in trees and shrubs. Anna’s Hummingbirds are common in yards, parks, residential streets, eucalyptus groves, riverside woods, savannahs, and coastal scrub. They readily come to hummingbird feeders and flowering plants, including cultivated species in gardens.

i made my first infographic on a topic ive been very interested in lately: wings! ive seen a lot of anatomical sins relating to wings lately (i am not exempt from this) particuarly involving pterosaurs so i put this together to help artists who may be struggling with drawing wings. enjoy. i am also open to criticism on anatomy or errors
