Experimenting with motion. I like to work fast sometimes with watercolor and doing motion of the birds helps with this process. Trying out the contrast with the black and yellow. 

Birds of Pacifica in watercolor
I am working on a small book of local Pacifica birds. I think it's a nice for people to identify the world around them. If they know what they are perhaps they can in turn help save them.
