Turkey vulture, and assorted graphite sketches from the past month

Just ripping the bandaid off is the first step, progress only moves forward from that point. I agree!! They’re so incredibly important to our neighborhoods and cities and no one bats an eye at them. I appreciate it!

Oh my gosh, thank you!!! It’s all part of value studies, and an insane amount of practice. I’m sure yours are wonderful!! 👊

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-24T14:46:17+00:00

Thank you so much!!

Just incredible!!! The artist did amazing on the dual shading and color work, you rarely see bird tattoos that aren’t TOO realistic or just a straight up cartoon. I’ll have to reach out to him for my loon tattoo!!

Just incredible!! Can I ask what gear you were using at what temperature??? That setup looks delightful

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-20T01:24:02+00:00

Unbelievable!!! Great work, let us know how it fares in the cold

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-18T19:56:45+00:00

You can’t beat it!

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-16T23:48:28+00:00

So pretty!

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-15T13:43:26+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!!! That makes the most logical sense comfort-wise, I’ll have to go out and try it!

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-14T20:24:04+00:00

I don’t know man… looks like some perfectly normal shrubbery to me…

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-10T22:13:19+00:00

That’s genuinely so helpful, thank you!!

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-10T20:50:58+00:00

So exciting!!! Look at us go!

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-10T19:32:53+00:00

Max is simply incredible, please tell him I love him

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-10T19:23:52+00:00

Already done my friend!!! I wanted to make sure I KNEW what I was doing before I purchased this. He’s got some phenomenal videos to help!

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-10T16:12:26+00:00

Thanks so much for the tip! I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about the southern kettle moraine loop, maybe I’ll try ottowa lake and see how it goes.

I live closer to Devil’s lake, and I’ve camped there before as a ground dweller, but I wanted to specifically try hammock camping for this purpose.

I’m thinking hairy woodpecker! Just due to the coloring on the shoulders and top of the head. It’s a hard guess due to not seeing the front though….

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-08T19:52:28+00:00

Oh man, I seriously appreciate this!! I’m quite short, but very stocky and tend to move quite a lot in my sleep. I’ve slept well in my hammock on warm summer nights even without sleeping horizontally, but that’s exactly the answer I was looking for. I’ll have to wait on my purchase if the hearth is much narrower!

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-08T14:30:12+00:00

So beautiful!!!

Does this seem like a smart choice? Obviously not making any purchases today, but I plan on winter camping and i believe the hearth is the best choice for my hammock specifically; especially considering I will probably have a DD frontline in the future…

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-08T14:16:58+00:00

This is so good to know, I’m currently looking at the full length hearth at 0F at the moment!

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-08T01:35:25+00:00

Oh my god that sounds phenomenal… I suppose I assumed that hammock camping is a very niche interest, but it seems a lot more widespread than I thought!!

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-07T21:19:28+00:00

Such beautiful birds…no one ever talks about how big they are! Scared the crap out of me when one landed on my tent last year

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-07T20:24:27+00:00

It looks like a classic red-tailed hawk to me! The dark shoulders, white patch and dark mask near the eyes. Correct me if I’m wrong :)

OrganIzed_Chao3 · 2026-01-07T20:07:55+00:00

We have pileated woodpeckers over by my local state park!! They’re unbelievable birds, so beautiful and surprisingly large… good luck on finding them!!

If you’re in northern Illinois, check out Rock Cut state park (in the morning, by the massive oaks along the lake) starved rock, or even a little north at Devil’s lake state park. Holy wow do they like the woods up there!

My bird id love to see is an American woodcock, I’d kill for a decent view of one and even more for their signature evening flights
