The Draw-a-Bird Day theme this month is the birds of Costa Rica.
Wikipedia informs us that Costa Rica, which is smaller than the state of West Virginia, has the greatest density of birds of any country in the Americas. Costa Rica’s official catalog of birds, published by, what else, a bird committee, lists 948 species. All I can say is WOW.
Here are the birds submitted for July Draw-a-Bird Day:
Tara Hamilton: Blue-Vented Hummingbird. Watercolor.Linda Norton. Resplendent Quetzal. Multimedia. [I include this bird from works given to us previously by Wednesday Studio member Linda Norton, whom we lost unexpectedly in 2021.
