Or ducks, that is.
I did two posters years ago, a Loon and a Heron. David raved about them, which he never does and wants me to do more. And you know, I NEED a project!
So I have been doing research to find some interesting ducks, waterfowl to illustrate. I really love looking through The Cornell Lav of Ornithology. Especially fond of listening to the audio samples of the calls. There are so many interesting things to look at, from live cams, to learning about bird songs ($), bird ID skills.
Robin wants to go film a murmuration and we are trying to find a close source. So far, it looks like Marin county. So I spent the morning looking through the internet for a birding group to contact and ask some questions. Maybe get some dates, months to visit Marin County.
