March 20, 2020 - Three-streaked Tchagra (Tchagra jamesi)
Found in parts of Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda, these bush-shrikes inhabit semi-desert areas, savannas, and shrubland. They eat mostly insects, but may sometimes prey on the chicks of other bird species. Little is known about their nesting behavior, though they breed mostly between March and July, depending on the area of their range.

December 9, 2017 - Marsh Tchagra or Blackcap Bush-shrike (Bocagia minuta)
These bush-shrikes are found in a scattered range around the grassy marshes of central Africa. Their diet is primarily large insects, such as beetles, grasshoppers, and dragonflies. They have adapted somewhat to human habitation and are often found in cotton fields and coffee plantations. Little is known about their nesting habits, but their breeding season is probably between February and June. Males display in flight while making a whistled call.
February 16, 2017 - Black-crowned Tchagra (Tchagra senegalus)
These bush-shrikes are found throughout much of central and southern Africa, as well as in northwestern Africa, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Oman. They eat mostly insects, including grasshoppers, beetles, and termites, along with some reptiles and amphibians. Pairs build shallow cup nests from rootlets and twigs held together with spiderwebs in the forks of trees or bushes. Females do most of the incubation of the eggs and chicks stay with their parents through most of the non-breeding season.

Here’s something fun from a good while back: the first of an intended series of little bird animations, which of course stranded as soon as this one was done. Who knows, I may pick it up again one day! I still have the list of candidate species saved on my laptop. Animation is something I’ve dabbled in over the years, making one every now and then. I’d love to do them more often and actually get better. It just takes such a godforsaken long time to do. Which was exactly the point of this little loop, to see if it could be done in a slightly more humane timeframe, while keeping an agreeable style of minimalistic realism.
End result: learned of a new bird species - the Three-streaked tchagra, which is far more handsome in real life than I gave them credit for in my animation -, had some ‘aha’ moments about technique and ended up with an animation I am pretty chuffed about, even more so when I squint at it from a good distance away.
Here’s to hopefully more animations in the future!
