Great photos! I love the little Carolina Wren. I may reach out to you in the future about using some pictures. For now, I'm adding some international birds! Here's a Southern Red-billed Hornbill from South Africa.

Haha, nice idea! Here's a pair of Rosy-faced Lovebirds. I've left some room below to talk about a topic -- perhaps courtship. (Is this pair courting, or do friends do this?) If anyone has colorful/interesting bird photos, I'm always on the lookout for new images!

Now for my ice skating trick: the no axel! How many points do I get?

I guess I'm a photographer first. I really enjoy getting a good shot. I also like to identify birds using my photos, since I feel like I'm not great at IDing birds on the "fly".

Yup, and the top one is a Yellow Warbler. I'm glad they are semi-recognizable!

Here are the Warblers! I'm not sure why they didn't display above. I'll add some text about Warblers to the right. Ideas? And thanks for the offer @Kevin!

It’s Warbler time! A Yellow Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, and Wilson’s Warbler. Now I just need to figure out some interesting text about Warblers for the right side. Ideas? I chose Warblers with some yellow. It seems like lots of Warblers have yellow or orange.

Here's a Painted Bunting! (Photo courtesy of @Kevin!) I left some room at the top, so I can talk a bit about the wonderful range of colors in birds.

Here's an Allen's Hummingbird! Thanks to @IKLland for letting me use their wonderful photo. I think my ideas for a new coloring book are starting to come together. I want to have birds from around the world, together with some text about cool features and regional adaptations. Maybe a few activities thrown in for variety. If anyone here wants to let me use their photos, let me know.

Pelicans might be my favorite birds! I decided to work a bit more on the picture above. If this is printed out on 8 by 11.5" paper, the larger pelican should be approximately life size. Plus, since these are American White Pelicans, most of the coloring is already done!

Thanks, all! The talk is coming sooner than I expected, but I think I'm prepared enough.

Hi folks. I saw this hawk in Gilbert, AZ on September 14, 2019. Is this a Cooper's Hawk? (it's mouth is open because of how hot it was that day.) I'm giving a bird talk soon (Birds and the Weather) and want to make sure I know all of the species in my photos. Thanks!

It's a Bullock's Oriole! Thanks to @Kevin for letting me use his great photo: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/340921671. What makes a good coloring book page? I feel like I need more small areas of distinct color. Any ideas?

That's wild! What type of bird is it? It looks like it's wearing big fake eyebrows.

Two new colored pictures: a variety of beaks and a Great Egret!
