Draw-a-Bird Day for August: Australian Birds

This month’s DAB-Day theme is birds from Australia. It turns out Australia has more than 700 species of birds, and when you add in Australia’s offshore islands, it comes to about 900 species. About 350 of these species are found nowhere else.

As always, all birds are welcome to DAB-Day, even if they are not from Australia.

Judith Davis: Asian Egret. Watercolor.
Carolyn Rondthaler: Superb Parrot. Watercolor. Painted from a photo by John Harrison. Carolyn comments that she was intrigued by this bird because of its name.
Tom Eichenberger: White-Cheeked Honeyeater. Colored pencil.
J.H. Kinley: Coastal Kingfisher. Watercolor.
Jim Eichenberger: Black-Necked Storks. Digital with Paint 3D.
Martha Larkin: Barking Owl. Face paint and acrylic.
Anne Shields: Eastern Bluebird. Pastel.
Marian Wiseman: Southern Boobook. Watercolor.

    As always, I enjoy seeing how differently everyone approaches one of Marian’s challenges. These birds are just lovely.
