Birds of the outside world. BirdNote’s 2026 Photo Contest Winners.
~~~
Belated participation in Draw A Bird Day, 8 April.
The mandate was a bird drawing. They did not specify a good drawing. Snark aside, it was fun. 10/10, would recommend giving it a try.
From the presentation “Comics and Conservation” by Rosemary Mosco for BirdNote. Mosco is the author of Bird and Moon comics. Recording, BirdNote: Watch Now: Comics and Conservation.
Content warning. The origin story on Draw A Bird Day webpage is jarring.
Update. Photo of pen drawing. I did a page of birds and picked one.
Onwards!

Beautiful origin story.

I was startled by how long it had been around. 83 years.
Did you draw this on paper, or directly on the screen?
See above. Thanks. Mentioned pen drawing in alt text. Did not think to include in main text.
Thanks.
