Front cover: Lophophora williamsii and Cardinalis sinuatus. Not quite a seasonal Robin, but an attractive bird nevertheless. Lophophora williamsii and a male Cardinalis sinuatus (pyrrhuloxia or desert cardinal) are depicted in this drawing by the talented artist Marc Nevsky. Both bird and cactus are inhabitants of the Chihuahuan desert near Cuatro Ciénegas, Coahuila, Mexico. Reference for the plant was taken from the habitat image of Pepe Paulin (iNaturalist). Drawing media: Hahnemühle cold pressed paper, Prismacolor wax pencils and Micropen. (Photo: Marc Necsky).
