Alguns esboços de um dos dois Pilritos-de-colete, que se encontrava juntamente com os Pilritos-acanelados na Foz do Sizandro. Foram sem sombra de dúvidas das aves mais cooperantes que já desenhei - estes esboços foram feitos a menos de 4m, com a ave bastante confortável com a minha presença./Some sketches of one of the two Pectoral Sandpipers, found along the Buff-breasted Sandpipers at Foz do Sizandro. Without doubt, the most cooperative birds I have sketched so far -- these sketches were rendered less than 4m away, with the bird quite comfortable with my presence there.

  1. Wonderful sketches.
    What dignified looking fellows!

  2. Thank you so much -- you are right, they do have a sort of dignified look to them, I guess it derives from the upright neck. This bird was nice enough to pose for me for a long time, did not even flinched when nearby a Peregrine Falcon swooped over a flock of shorebirds.
