Belted Socks
Description: The belted kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon) is a large, conspicuous water kingfisher. It is depicted on the 1986 series Canadian $5 note. All kingfishers were formerly placed in one family, Alcedinidae, but recent research suggests that this should be divided into three subfamilies. Illustrated by Paddy Morton

Description: Here is a tricolor bumble I saw during a week long field trip to the Adirondack mountains with my aquatic entomology class. We had just arrived at our first field site. It was an ordinary creek surrounded by Maples and Oaks. On the edge of the habitat I saw a bumblebee with an orange middle patch. A native bumblebee! Living in the lower region of the state I had never seen this bee before. It was really exciting! I've included some of my specimens and the respective habitat they were found in. Hand drawn in the car while we were on our way to the next site!
Description: This is my acrylic painting of a stocky belted kingfisher that has caught a fish by swooping down from a perch. A vibrant blue kingfisher is perched on a branch with a small fish in its beak, set against a lush green background. The bird's plumage is vividly detailed, showcasing shades of blue and patches of reddish-brown. This bird painting is included in the bird playing card game called “Chirp Up”.
