I primarily paint in watercolor and gouache, but also do a lot of bird and nature photography

Here's a picture I took of a Northern Parula. This was the first Northern Parula that I have ever seen, however prior to this I had heard dozens on many different occasions.
A Nothern Parula sitting on a branch perched above the photographer, looking down. It has a blueish gray head, a yellow beak, and a white body that transitions to a golden yellow at the top of its chest. The bird is surrounded by green leaves, with little dots of blue sky visible between the leaves.

When asked to explain her stance the woman wanted to be anonymous, then says she doesn't think homosexuality "is a bad thing", but also says:

"You can’t just put it out there as if it’s okay for everybody, because if people think it’s okay, then what are they going to do?"

Cowards.
One woman who challenged two LGBTQ books in Georgia’s Cherokee County School District — and who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of losing her job — said she did not object to the texts because she believes homosexuality “is a bad thing.” But, she said, it is dangerous to allow students unfettered access to such titles. “You can’t just put it out there as if it’s okay for everybody,” she said, “because if people think it’s okay, then what are they going to do?”

I saw my first ever Yellow Billed Cuckoo today! @adriennefriend.bsky.social spotted it, and I was lucky enough to get this great photo
A Yellow Billed Cuckoo, perched on a branch. The branch extends from the bottom left of the photo to the middle right. The bird is facing the camera, its head pointed up and to the left. Its bill is yellow that fades brown towards the tip. Its chest is very white, its wings and top of head are grayish brown. The photo is zoomed in, with very small feather details visible.

Any spider people know what type of spider this is? We spotted this, and many more, on the water in a wetland area of the Duck River in Tennessee @allbugsgotokevin.bsky.social

I'm still sad about Trevor
A gouache painting of Trevor Strnad, lead singer of The Black Dahlia Murder. He is shirtless, facing the viewer looking off into the distance, with his right arm holding a microphone horizontally to his face, with this elbow sticking out perpendicular to the rest of his body. His left arm is raised in the air. His signature "heartburn" belly tattoo is visible.

You ever been side eyed by a Barred Owl? I was just yesterday.
A beautiful Barred Owl giving me the side eye. The photo is taken from the ground, the bird is relatively high above, but appears close due to a high zoom.

To celebrate the two new albums released today by The Acacia Strain here is a pen and ink portrait I drew of Vincent Bennett, the lead singer.
A black and white pen and ink sketch of Vincent Bennett from The Acacia Strain. He is looking straight at you, with a big smile, and a scruffy beard, wearing a black baseball cap.

Here is a painting I did of a yellow bellied sapsucker, you can probably guess the source material.
