Description These awesome, wonky-looking birds with striking black, white, and electric blue plumage were no my Febirdary list this year, which I wasn't able to finish for health reasons. But I am going to try to work through the remainder of my list gradually. That series was supposed to be all in watercolor, but I decided to do something more comfortable for this one. 

The purple background reflects another feature of these birds, which isn't visible in my drawing: Along the lower end of their folded wing, you can see a pale, slightly iridescent purple stripe. Check them out! ebird.org/species/vulgui1

Materials: Micron pigma pens, india ink, and ohuhu alcohol markers on smooth Bristol paper (white); I scanned a sheet of purple paper and made this composite in photoshop.
