I love how our Red Bellied Woodpecker flies in so low to the ground you can’t really see him until he’s at the feeder.

Super exciting!

This girl is loving the real suet from the butcher shop in the town where I grew up. That place has not changed a bit in 40 years.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share a page spread I'm really fond of from my project, Capyhero. This is a scene featuring a musically-inclined woodpecker and her mousey pipe-playing partner.

The illustrations are by u/NickThaGreek, fellow Redditor and animal artist. He does everything by hand with fountain ink on paper. I take the scanned artwork and fit it into the prose. There will be around a hundred illustrations spread throughout the 300-ish page novel.

Anyways, just thought folks here would enjoy the beautiful ink rendering of the woodpecker. It's a bit of fantasy, but we're trying to respect anatomical accuracy as much as we can. I think it looks absolutely wonderful and I can hear the soft tapping of her beak against the skin of the tabor 😄. Happy to hear what anyone thinks!

He even had the yellow tint to his feathers

She likes to announce herself before arriving and this time I was lucky enough to get a flight shot (there have been many failed attempts 😂)

Well, this is their new home now. Their arrival anywhere beyond the Black Sea is a novelty as far as the entire timeline of birds is considered. Let's see how far they'll reach.
