The #MugOfTheMonth:
Part of a 2-part gift I received for Christmas. The macaw illustration is by #EdwardLear. A well-respected naturalist & natural history artist. He has the distinction of having a #macaw in South America named after him. The book features his illustrations.
#LearsMacaw

Lear’s Macaw is a rare blue parrot that nests in Brazil’s cliffs and eats clay. Once nearly extinct, it's making a comeback. I illustrated it for my Visual Zoology class for ages 11–15.
