Managed to get 6 done last night. I want to finish this time so I am doing very small watercolor sketches to make them quick and easy.

Little rushed but hey

Day two: forest dweller
I had to do an American Woodcock since they’re the goofiest little birds ever

And so I can be caught up, here’s a Barn Swallow I did a couple of weeks ago for today’s prompt.
A bug decided that gouache paint tastes good and tried to eat the background…

Darn, I forgot about it this year.

Chop chop. You can catch up.

Stepped out of my comfort zone a lot today, and I’m not sure what I think about the result. Watercolor and colored pencil.

First time hearing about this contest! I'll try to take a pic every day or so.

It’s that BirdTober time of year!

For those who don’t know: BirdTober is a yearly art challenge, where, as its title suggests, you draw a bird for every day (or week, or every few days, whatever you can manage!) of October. Daily prompts are provided, but feel free to draw whatever bird-y thing you like.

And, an important note, anything artistic is allowed. Whether it be photography, pottery, or fiber arts, as long as it’s bird related feel free to post, we love to see your works!

This is our third year running, it’s starting to signify the fall season for me.

I hope you all are as excited as I am,
Go forth and draw birds!

are each of the prompts for each day in October? So if I started today will it be "adorable?" And do I apply those prompts in my photography?

Exactly. As you said, today’s prompt will be “adorable”, tomorrow’s will be “backyard bird” and so on. And yes, these prompts will apply toyour photography!
