It's been more than a minute since I've posted anything on my blog, much less any of my bird drawings. In a bad headspace in recent months, I am struggling constantly.
The last batch of my bird portraits I shared with you was SEPTEMBER 2023! And, now it's April. Whoa, Linda.
I share with you today my 14 favorite bird drawings from October, 2023. Being October, I am getting close to the end of my personal challenge, #365birds, during which I drew one bird image each day for a year.
As always, I will put certain information above each of the drawings: the day of the challenge, the bird's name and where in the world the particular bird can be found naturally.

And there you have it. At this point, there are only nine more days left of my 365-day challenge. I am not going to tell you right now whether I continued after the year was up or not. Watch my blog for the end of it all. ?
Please keep in mind that these are quick snapshots of my original artwork and are not to be used in any way without my express permission. I will gladly have a good quality print made for you if you wish. Just reach out to me.
