Day 3 of #BirdArtWeek2026 🦅 Today’s theme is #birdsuccess. I picked the California condor, an amazing success story of a species brought back from the brink of extinction 🪶

This guy was quite tricky to paint. Hopefully I did him justice 😅

One more for @cornellbirds.bsky.social #BirdArtWeek2026 For the theme of #BirdSuccess here’s one of my favorite conservation victories: Peregrine Falcon. It’s hard to imagine that not long ago, we had pushed this species to the brink of extinction in the Eastern US. 🦅🪶 #peregrinefalcon #birding

For today’s #BirdArtWeek2026 theme, #BirdSuccess, I painted a couple of sandhill cranes. In the 1930s, they were pretty much wiped out in the Eastern US, but have since recovered.

Day 3 of #BirdArtWeek2026, #BirdSuccess -- until recently, Peregrine Falcons were endangered. They successfully came back from the brink due to conservation efforts and the banning of DDT. And they're such incredible hunters and dutiful parents!!
