#standardwing

A couple miscellaneous pieces to share today! I’ve nearly run out of card art, but I’ve done other artwork for Birdwatcher as well. On top, a male Standardwing Bird-of-Paradise, hand drawn in colored pencil. These are a special reward for ultimate backers at the Birdwatcher kickstarter - originals and one-of-a-kind! (And the kickstarter only goes for about two more days, get in on it before it’s gone!)

Wallace's Standardwing (Semiptera wallacii)

Also simply known as the Standardwing, Wallace's Standardwing is a species of bird-of-paradise that is endemic to North Maluku in eastern Indonesia. They arboreal and have a diet that consists mostly of insects, other arthropods and fruit. Like most birds of paradise the males of this species sport elaborate plumage and will preform a mating display for females. Such displays involve the males "parachuting" with their wings and breast spread and the 'standards' fluttering above their backs.
