More phoebe action these days…Previous: Chicken Next: Young Swainson's Hawk on the Cut Alfalfa
Sketching a bird a day, one at a time
My name is Pica. I live in Davis, California and I have another blog, Feathers of Hope, which I keep with my partner Numenius, and which isn't primarily about sketching birds. My ABA list stands at 697 702, which seems a fine time to start sketching birds instead of spending a fortune on a camera and lenses to start photographing them all... The first post from August 2007, detailing all this, can be found here.
