I have been trying for the past several weeks to recover from an injury to my right hand. I'd always said, "Take away my right hand or my eyes, and I'm finished." Well, my right hand hasn't been taken away completely; it is reovering. So, I guess I'm not finished yet.
Because of this injury, I have only drawn a few birds. Only a few because, when I do draw one, I pay with a great deal of pain the next day.
But, for now, I have a handful of bird drawings I did as part of my personal challenge, The Daily Bird, from January and February.
Now, as I always do, above each bird drawing, I will note the name of the bird, as well as where in the world this bird can be found in the wild.
Here goes:

If you would like prints of any of my birds, please just let me know. Several of those in this post have already been made into prints, so I may already have one or more available. The prints are made from the actual drawings themselves. Those that you see here are just quick photographs of the drawings.
Thanks for accompanying me on my birding journey.
Birdie
Smiles.
