78/100 The Vesper Sparrow: how cute is this guy!?! The males sing from high perches to protect their territory, while the nests are made in the grass. They can be found all over North America, but migrate to Mexico and the southern US for winter. #putabirdonit #vespersparrow #songbird #birdsketch #cutebird #nhfloraandfauna #newhampshirebirds #sparrow #draweveryday #the100dayproject
77/100 Tall Meadow Rue: these babies are blooming now! They are present throughout New England and seem to love any environment near water. #tallmeadowrue #wildflowersofinstagram #cuteflowers #nhfloraandfauna #wildflowers #greenery #the100dayproject #newhampshireflowers
76/100 Northern Pitcher Plant: once I drew this I found a much cooler looking one, the Purple Pitcher Plant, oh well. These plants are carnivorous and attract tiny bugs. Native Americans used it as an anti diabetic and this has been proven in rat liver cells. Extracts from the pitcher plant also can inhibit pox viruses from reproducing. #pitcherplant #nhfloraandfauna #plantpower #newhampshireflowers #boglife #plantlife #newhampshire
3/4 of the way though the project and here are the 9 most popular drawings of New Hampshire flora and fauna from #the100dayproject so far! The owl is still top ranking!?! Hoooty hoooo! And they continue in ranking left to right. A diverse selection here, my animals seem to be a little more popular than the plants. #nhfloraandfauna #plantsandanimals #dailydrawings #animalsketches #floraldrawing #newhampshirelife #newhampshire
75/100 The Beaver! Trapping nearly eliminated beavers from New Hampshire by the 1890s. Six beaver were released in the state between 1926 and 1930 as part of a restocking program. By 1955, the entire state was repopulated and is still rebounding today. Beavers are true vegetarians (yay!) and they mate for life. Also they have orange teeth that never stop growing!!! I have only spotted two near my house even though there are lodges everywhere, they are mainly nocturnal and have great hearing, so I guess they hide from me😀. #beaverdrawing #nhfloraandfauna #newhampshireanimals #rodent #marshlife #theshire #newhampshirelife #beaver
74/100 The Sea Lamprey: something from your nightmares. Because yes that yellowish thing is a mouth with razor teeth... and yes this was hard to draw and it might be one of my worst 😬 These suckers are found in the northern and western Atlantic Ocean along the shores of Europe and North America, in the western Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, and the shores of the Great Lakes. Say what!!!?!?! In New Hampshire, sea lamprey migrate into the Connecticut River, Merrimack River, and coastal rivers up to the first impassable barriers. #sealamprey #gross #nhfloraandfauna #eelthing
73/100 Unplanned plant week continues with the Bog Onion (aka Jack-In-The-Pulpit, Brown Dragon, Indian Turnip, or Wild Turnip!!) This plant is native to eastern North America. If you were to eat this raw, you would have extreme burning sensations and irritations, but if its properly dried or cooked it can be eaten as a root vegetable. There are some fascinating tales surrounding this plant. Native Americans used it for treatment of sore eyes and as a way to food poison their enemies. It has also been used for rheumatism, bronchitis, snakebites, and to induce sterility! Wow. #bogonion #wildturnip #the100dayproject #wildflower #nativeflowers #nhfloraandfauna #flora #purpleandgreen #plantpower #jackinthepulpit #floralsketch #newhampshireflowers #floralart #purplelicious
72/100 The Grape Hyacinth. This one is hard for me to pronounce correctly! But I totally get the name :) this flower originated in central and southeastern Europe but has made its way to the US. As far as New England goes, it is randomly not found in Rhode Island and Maine. I really like it and want to draw more of these fun shaped flowers sometime soon!! #flowerpower #flowerstagram #grapehyacinth #nhfloraandfauna #the100dayproject #floralsketch #floralart #wildflowersofinstagram #newhampshireflowers #plantlife #greenery #purplelicious #purplelover
71/100 The Bog Labrador Tea: a type of rhododendron living in Canada and the NorthEast/NorthWest US. Of course it lives in bogs and wetlands and has these tiny beautiful white flowers with evergreen leaves. It is sometimes used to spice wild game dishes and is distilled in different spirits for flavor 🍸fascinating! Many cultures also make a tea from the leaves and branches. #labradortea #nhfloraandfauna #rhododendrons #floralsketch #the100dayproject #newhampshireflowers #theshire #bogflowers #floraldrawing #whiteflowers
