Guess the Warbler

Besides teaching, part of my job is to draw flora and fauna of the Preserve. These images can be used in our programs, advertisements, curriculum, and exhibits. We are considering an event in the next year or so, and I was asked to create some images for a potential logo. I am starting to draw three different warblers for this logo. Going detailed first and once they go into Photoshop, we'll make them a less-detailed and more logo-friendly. In the meantime, can you guess which Warbler I am drawing?

a Black and White Warbler!

(kind of easy as there was no color to this one)

Pond Keepers Poster Redesign

I have been coordinating the Pond Keepers program for the Preserve for about 2.5 school years now. Pam, the former Pond Keepers Coordinator, did a phenomenal job getting this program up and running. After some time, I finally decided to retire Pam's Poster drawing and add a bit of theChristyBel into the program. So, I began to redesign a new Pond Poster that each program will get to color in and add a bunch of pond creatures to as they learn about the Pond!
