Some playful cat art for a birthday card for one of the first family members with a Spring birthday.

The Green Jay (Cyanocorax luxuosus) is found in southern Texas, Mexico, and northern Central America. Interestingly, they have been observed using sticks as tools to extract insects from tree bark. Drawing for the March 2026 prompt. I will put the reference photo in the comments.

The Coyote (Canis latrans) of Native American folklore embodies the "sacred" trickster, blurring the lines between animal and human natures, creator and destroyer, and wise teacher and fool. Chaos, death, and mischief often follow him through his mythological world.

The Spotted Gar (Lepisosteus oculatus). A North American fish patterned with dark spots on its body and sporting an elongated mouthful of needle-like teeth. The smallest of 7 gar species found in North America, they still grow to 2–3 ft in size.
