A mixed media study of a nest and three eggs from a Western bluebird (Sialia mexicana). The Western Bluebird builds its nest within natural cavities or abandoned woodpecker holes, forming a soft inner cup of fine grasses, pine needles, and plant fibers. Unlike mud-lined nests, the structure is loosely woven and relies on the shelter of its surroundings rather than a hardened exterior. Clutches typically contain three to six pale blue eggs, their color echoing the soft sky tones of the open landscapes these birds inhabit.
Original: graphite, watercolor & colored pencil on paper.
