Watercolor Birds

I just decided that I should try to improve my watercolor skills by painting one bird every day. We'll see how that works, but here's today's bird:

This is the first in the challenge, but the second watercolor bird I've made. The absolutely first one I painted was this Eastern towhee for a birthday card, made about ten days ago:

For the challenge I am trying to keep it under 1 hour, but I went over a bit today on the toucan. Backgrounds are hard! And in general, as you can see, I still have a long way to go to master this medium. But it's fun :)
