BOTD: Eurasian Spoonbill

Eurasian Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia)
The Eurasian Spoonbill's beak, from which it derives its name, is swept side to side in the water, its sensitive bill sensing tiny vibrations and locating prey, as well as filtering small fish and shrimps. They are mostly silent with their main sound being bill snapping.

Today's sketch is a study of a classical chimera, but the lion part is a pigeon, and also the goat part is a pigeon, and would you believe it the snake tail is also a pigeon

found out today an allegedly accessible entrance was not in fact, accessible, and this is my proposition to fix it. I call it the Grian of ADA Compliance.

Day 12 of January extinct birds - the imperial woodpecker
These are officially classified as CR - possibly extinct... but the hope of them still surviving is pitifully low as almost all viable habitat has been destroyed. These woodpeckers, endemic to Mexico, were enormous, around 60cm in length. They were often seen in small groups that search together for large dead trees to extract bugs from. Because of their size, they needed large amounts of habitat and were also targeted by loggers for fear of them ruining timber.

BOTD: Dwarf Jay
^image credit: Phil Chaon, eBird (will be removed if asked. I only used this source because the wikipedia photo for this species is very poor quality, and there were no photos of it on Pixabay or Unsplash.)
Dwarf Jay (Cyanolyca nanus)
The Dwarf Jay, as implied by its name, is the world's smallest corvid, measuring 20-23cm long and weighing 41g. It is endemic to pine-evergreen mountains of southeastern Mexico. It forages whilst well hidden in dense vegetation, and is reportedly best located by its voice.
