Information about the Surfbird:
The Surfbird is a small stocky wader in the family Scolopacidae. Their breeding habitat is rocky tundra areas in Alaska and the Yukon. The female lays 4 eggs in a depression on the ground lined with vegetation. Both parents look after the young birds, who feed themselves. These birds migrate to the Pacific coasts of North and South America, from southern Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. On the nesting grounds, these birds mainly eat insects and some seeds. At other times of year, they eat mollusks and crustaceans found along the surf line on rocky coasts and are usually found in small flocks, often with turnstones. The song is a whistled “tee tee tee.

Artist’s notes:
The Surfbird was completed on 2.12.2014. My friend Adam and I often joke about the similarity of the birds you could encounter on the shorelines of California. While I love seeing them, they can be hard to tell apart. So I decided to make a collage of some of the birds, and decided to include the Surfbird. The drawing is based on a photo by Eleanor Briccetti.
