Magpie Geese
#DoodlewashJune2025 Prompt: Magpie.
Did you know that Magpie Geese are unusual for several reasons? The male tramples reeds into a floating bed for his mate. Or mates - they like to breed two females to a male! The females lay their eggs on this bed and they feed their young rather than just leading them to food as other waterfowl do. Last but not least, they have a hind toe on their webbed feet that allows them to climb and sleep in trees.
15-minute watercolor sketch, not counting drying time.
