Numenius is a geographer by training and temperament. He is a Bay Area native, and grew up roaming the East Bay hills. Pica takes her cue from Pica nuttalli, the endemic magpie of central California, chatty and alighting on gleaming things. Pica has another blog, Bird by Bird, in which she records her sketches of birds.
This sketch is from yesterday’s outing to Central Park in Davis. I took my Schmincke pan set of watercolors and appreciated having the cobalt blue handy.
