All of us working with the Klamath Bird Observatory bird banding team were able to attend the recent Western Bird Banding Association (WBBA) meeting for free, so I made this painting of a Wilson's Warbler perched on a sprig of Douglas fir to be sold at the silent auction (the proceeds of which help fund scholarships for meeting attendance.) The meeting was a blast - easily the most friendly conference I've ever been to, but attended by some real heavy hitters in the bird banding world! The colors of this scan got a little wonky, but this is an after-hatch year male Pacific Wilson's Warbler, a subspecies that has a little more of an orange tint on the forehead and chest than other birds.
