Here is a bird that has adapted quite well to the invasive species of human beings, and is the California State bird. It has been over a year since I opened my bird journal. Hearing and seeing the finches early in the morning in my yard has renewed my admiration for birds. What would it be like to just take off and fly if you need a change of scenery? Painted on 100% cotton paper in watercolor and ink.

California Quail
In the last 3 months, we humans have fretted over toilet paper shortages, complained about not getting haircuts, wore masks, stayed six feet from each other, and now riots are currently embroiled in major cities across the US. Meanwhile, it makes me wonder how animals are seeing our current world. National parks and forests have been closed, and there have been less cars on the road, which we can assume has been beneficial for them, right? After all, they were here before humans invaded their spaces.
