I’ve been working on some more birds for the interpretive panels to be placed in Black Lake Canyon Preserve for the Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County.

Here are California scrub jay (Aphelocoma californica) and wrentit (Chamaea fasciata):

Common yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas) and red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus):

Golden-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia atricapilla) and California thrasher (Toxostoma redivivum):

And marsh wren (Cistothorus palustris) and California towhee (Melozone crissalis):

Here are a couple of toads, one western and one eastern.  I’m missing California but excited about getting to know an entire new flora and fauna!

I’m in the midst of a series of paintings for interpretive panels to be placed in the Black Lake Canyon Preserve for the Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County.

The American bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) in the first photo and all of the birds (Pacific slope flycatcher, Empidonax difficilis; Southwestern willow flycatcher, Empidonax traillii; and Bell’s vireo, Vireo bellii) in the second photo are for the panels.
