little fellas…..

the blue rock-thrush is a species of passerine bird found in portions of europe, asia, and africa. they are named for the male’s notable blue plumage; females have fairly standard brown plumage. they feed on insects and small reptiles along with seeds and berries. despite their name, they are actually a member of the chat family, and just appear similar to true thrushes.

Got an idea to sketch a bird for everyday until I’m bored of it. Let’s see how long that lasts lmao anyway here’s a pigeon

the peregrine falcon is a medium-sized raptor capable of reaching speeds up to 200 mph while diving for prey, giving them a reputation as fearsome and difficult to evade predators. typically, peregrine falcons hunt solo. however, mated pairs sometimes coordinate hunts together, working in tandem to flush, chase, and capture their prey. the peregrine falcon preys on the most diverse range of bird species of any raptor in north america - they’ve been recorded capturing birds as small as a hummingbird and as large as the sandhill crane. in urban areas, where prey choices are scarcer, peregrines roosting along tall buildings or bridges may predate almost solely on pigeons.

Ospreys! These striking raptors are found across a wide variety of habitats on all continents except Antarctica. They feed mainly on fish, and are expert hunters. Their excellent vision helps them detect underwater objects from the air, from as far as 40m away, after which they dive feet-first into the water to catch fish, oftentimes completely submerging their entire bodies. P.S. The illustration shows the osprey using its wings to shield its catch from other predators, scavengers or rivals. This behaviour in raptors is known as 'mantling'.

[ID: Digital illustration of a goldfinch with a more monochromatic tone and some unnatural proportions and posing. It sits on top of a similarly yellow rectangle on an off-white background. Its head is in the bottom left of the page, looking upward, wings extended above it. The closest wing is slightly folded over. Its claws are outspread in the bottom of the page, the lines wonkily drawn. In the bottom right corner is a watermark reading: “LEAVES AND INKS”. /end ID]
