Birds of a Feather

After my week of drawing birds I wanted to do an illustration of some sort of bird characters. I thought a punk rock band make would be funny so here they are "Birds of a Feather". Lead singer the hoopoe, blue heron on bass, a rocking woodpecker and the American kestrel on drums. I tried to pick wild birds that had natural mohawks or nutty "hair" :) The kestrel was definitely fun to draw with his pattern in the uplifted wings, but probably the most time consuming one. Originally I was going to do something more stylized, but completely forgot when I went to color them, so they are more realistic with quite a bit of detail. The woodpecker is probably my favorite.
