The weather is starting to get fractionally warmer, and I'm looking forward to the time when our beautiful feathered friends will return from their migrations to sing once more. Therefore, I've devoted the 12th in the #WorldOfWallcharts series to Birds 🐦
Here are the previous curations in this series so far:
1. Space 2. Music 3. Love 4. Flowers 5. Typography 6. Wine 7. Americana 8. Pets 9. Language 10. Dinosaurs 11. Kitchen
Let's start with a gorgeous infographic from the National Geographic magazine team back in December 2012, which detailed the Birds of Paradise:
Brooklyn-Based wallchart wizards Pop Chart Lab have their own fantastically detailed chart of North American birds, which is almost too big to even digest (I'm a little sad that my own favourite species of duck, the lovable Muscovy Duck, isn't on it though):
Another fantastic map infographic from the National Geographic magazine also explores the migratory patterns of birds in the Americas:
The Pop Chart Lab has more bite-size wallcharts featuring four favourite birds - finches, warblers, jays and hummingbirds - from North America. I love these:
Here are those fork-tailed passerines which we know as Finches:
And the colourful noisy Warblers:
And the slightly bigger, but also colourful and noisy, Jays:
And finally the tiny and fascinating Hummingbirds:
I hope you enjoyed this tour of a truly fascinating part of the Animal Kingdom. I find myself appreciating these creatures more and more every day and love learning new things about them.
