Will your #birbfest2025 feed also include new posts or was that 2025 specific @loadofolbobbins.bsky.social?
It would be lovely to have them all in one place and I haven't yet mastered creating feeds myself

Right, how about some warblers in celebration of their upcoming return to the area? First up, a previously done Louisiana Waterthrush paired with a Northern Waterthrush.
LOWAs are overshoots locally while NOWAs are expected breeders. #BirbFest2025 #warblers

Digital art of a Black Vulture in a stylized diamond shape with the colors blocked out in a very geometrical way. Its tail is shorter than the Turkey Vulture’s tail.
#BirbFest2025
With vulture migration peaking locally right now, gotta give these two some love. We’ll see thousands of Turkey Vultures pass by our local hawk watch in spring, but maybe only 1 or 2 Black Vultures.

Northern Saw-whet Owl was the 1st request I had received from a birder I admire a ton, but it took a while to capture properly due to their patterning. I ended up starting with an owlet since they don’t have all the striping going on, then did the adult, then modified both from there.🪶

#BirbFest2025 requests from two different folks. It’s currently Northern Shrike season here but I have yet to find one. I’ve never seen both Northern and Loggerhead Shrikes in the same year, weirdly. #birds
Was für eine Zeit. Eine Mischung aus totaler Überforderung und Glück

An original digital illustration by Loadofolbobbins of a Barn Owl in flight. The perspective is as if you were looking up underneath the owl as it’s swooping with claws beneath it to catch pray. It’s wings are together behind it caught in the upward flapping motion. The colouring of the owl is a combination of creams and browns with dark speckled markings across the body, underwing and head. The head of the owl is a slightly richer, almost orange brown. One big black eye can be seen looking beyond it’s claws, intensely focused and there’s a trail of brownish feather beneath it which look almost like a stripe that leads to the small pointed yellow beak. The background is inky wash in dark blue.
Oh happy day I have finally caught up with the #BirbFest2025 prompts, so that’s me done! 🥳 Now just to collate them into a zine 🙌 Enjoy this Barn Owl my loves…

An original digital illustration of a Wyandotte chicken by Loadofolbobbins. The hen is side on to the viewer head facing to the left and has one foot raised caught mid stride. Its feathers are a mixture of black and white, with black being particularly prominent. The white feathers are particularly distinct on the wings and chest and are bordered in black creating a lacy patterned effect. Like most chickens its wattle is the familiar pinky red with a yellow beak and striking yellow legs. The chicken is striding amongst short clipped lush green grass that has been drawn in a sketchy pencil effect. The rest of the background is white.
Chicken…..🐓 a Wyandotte to be precise.
