Banded Cotinga

#feathruary2023 Day 11: (violet) Banded Cotinga. When learning about the Atlantic Forest of Brazil I discovered this critically endangered bird. First of all it is gorgeous, but also I decided to draw it to bring awareness of its predicament. Their population numbers are estimated to be between 999 and 250 mature individuals left (as of a 2020 report) due to the drastic loss of habitat.
