The next #feathruary2023 prompt is "Black", so I chose this challenging bird to draw!

Today marks the first day of #feathruary2023 and we kick off this art challenge with the American Robin. This bird is so common in the area all throughout the year, even though it's known as a herald of spring. In the spring, the ground warms up and thaws out, allowing the worms to move around and attract the robins. In the winter, when the ground is frozen, they can be found in the trees in search of leftover fruits.

Someone is safe and cozy inside this old goldenrod stem! The Goldenrod Gall Wasp lays its egg in the stem, which causes the plant's hormones to go a little wonky. The plant stem swells, creating a perfect bedroom for the little critter. Eventually, it'll hatch and chew a hole to emerge through. No hole on this gall, so it's still growing and staying warm!

Hydrangeas often have fertile and infertile flowers. The large petal-looking structures are actually sepals (what protects a bud or small flower), which attract pollinators. These pollinators come to check them out, then crawl over the tiny, fertile flowers, rubbing pollen all over them. The fertile flowers are small, and usually inconspicuous compared to the showy sepals!
