bird_sampler

I spent a lot of time in early quarantine watching the nesting geese and their goslings in my neighborhood. This sampler came from that!

The circular layout is the same as in the earlier Plant Sampler, and serves the same general purpose: here, to showcase both the diversity of bird species and of bird behaviors.

Center:

• Mockingbird

Inner ring, from top right:

• Toucan
• Roadrunner
• Robin eggs
• A branch of "LBB's" (little brown birds)
• Mallard ducks
• Great blue heron
• Another LBB gathering twigs for their nest

Outer ring, from top:

• Peregrine falcon
• Ostrich
• Bluebird bathing
• Barn owl
• A murder of crows
• Peacock
• Golden eagle catching a fish
• Emperor penguins
• Pigeon
• Hummingbird
• Nest of hungry chicks
• Griffon vulture
• Kingfisher
• Pileated woodpecker
