Black-browed Albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophris), 2025

Black-browed albatross (Thalassarche melanophris) fills this September 2025 watercolor by Gina for her bird journal, part of her Realm of the Horn work. A large portrait shows a dark brow above a green-gray eye beside a long, yellow-orange bill pointing down and left. Two more albatrosses glide nearby on narrow outstretched wings.
