One of my very first projects at the Capital Regional District, this creative is near and dear to my heart. Advertising for the CRD’s participation in the iNaturalist City Nature Challenge, I wanted to convey the feeling of rough sketches you might make while out on a creature-finding expedition, with the Queen Charlotte Pine Grosbeak illustrated in detail to focus the reader’s eye to important information.

Hand drawings of local species around the Grosbeak include:

• Flattened acid kelp

• Bull kelp

• Salmon Berry

• Fringecups

• Purple Shore Crab

• Chiton

• Van Island Water Shrew

• Sharp Tailed Snake
