I have no idea why both the species I drew today are "Cream Colored"
But the "Cream-Colored" Woodpecker is actually bright banana yellow
Soo
"Yellow"

This whimsical species hails from Amazonia. I delight in the fact that God made a woodpecker that is bright banana yellow and I mourn the fact that someone decided to name it "cream-colored."

So I accidentally drew the only two common named "cream-colored" species in the world on the same day, and it was entirely by accident
They were both on my "draw in the future" list and seemed to match these prompts the best so I chose them.
Thousands of bird species. Thousands. And I chose those.

In one sense, you could have done two birds in one... I love both pictures though.

Instead I drew four birds because I'm an overachiever (actually I think cream colored woodpecker juveniles might not be yellow).

Four birds or two, I was counting it as two because it's two pictures.

So beautiful! Looks like an amazing bird. I feel the same way about the White Browed Tit Warbler, who I’m hoping to draw later this month. Look at this bird and the boring name they gave it! Criminal!!

Man, it's like a fake cockatiel! I need to search up a picture of this bird, I'm fascinated.

10. Yellow
A Golden/Queen of Bavaria Conure

Rushed and I messed up the beak. Unfortunately the more I use them the less I like Prismacolors, idk why (probably the fact I refuse to sit down and ACTUALLY LEARN how you use them) but they're not living up to the hype for me at all
Maybe the fact I only have a limited amount is also a factor...

Bird of Prey: Day 11

I went with a Peregrine Falcon today. I was going to do a side shot, but I saw a cute picture of one looking head-on, so I ended up doing that one instead.
