April 4, 2024 - African Pitta (Pitta angolensis)
Found in a spotty range in parts of central and southeastern Africa, these pittas live in rainforests, thickets, swampy areas, and scrub. Some populations migrate within Africa from the southeast to equatorial regions. Foraging on the ground in leaf litter, they eat insects and other invertebrates, including snails, earthworms, and millipedes. They build domed nests with side entrances and sometimes landing platforms from dead leaves, twigs, rootlets, and tendrils in thorny trees. Females lay clutches of one to four, but usually three, eggs.

I really like how this heron drawing turned out. (It was inspired by the heron I saw flying near Epcot last month).

April 6, 2024 - Cordoba Cinclodes, Comechingones Cinclodes, or Chestnut-winged Cinclodes (Cinclodes comechingonus)
Found in open grassy habitats in central Argentina, these birds in the ovenbird family migrate north or to lower elevations outside of the breeding season. Usually foraging in pairs on the ground, they eat insects, mollusks, and seeds, picking their prey from surfaces. They build their nests at the ends of tunnels dug into banks or in rock crevices from grasses, hair, and leaves. Females lay clutches of two eggs.

Carolina Wren
Based on a photo in Birding Virginia FB group by Kevin Thompson of a Carolina Wren catching bugs off a shop light.
Medium is Microsoft FreshPaint, a little-known free paint simulator. I sometimes enjoy the challenge of mixing my own digital paint in a layerless, simple setting.
