That’s right a BIRD! So X (and it was a Journey but we got here) is for the Eastern Phoebe!!!

Trish’s quick impressions of a small brown bird with a thin beak, a white stripe on their face, and a disproportionately loud call.

S is for Seagull!
In this household, in the Gulf of Maine in general, it’s Seagull. We’re not pedantic about this. Mostly. 😅
The Herring Gull is the quintessential Surly Seagull round here but this one’s enjoying a calm moment.

Trish’s pen and watercolor studies of a local Wild Turkey Tom displaying his beautiful feathers in spring.
Speaking of #MaineBirds M is for good ol’ Meleagris gallopavo!

Trish’s early digital painting of Tidus riding a Chocobo during the balloon popping minigame in Final Fantasy X. The Chocobo looks suspiciously like a Gigantoraptor and Tidus doesn’t look too happy about that…
C is for Chocobo!
Why yes, I am counting fictional birds as well. There are a lot of great birds in the worlds of fantasy and games and fantasy games. Chocobos are definitely in the top percentile.
