Your beloved Lark bunting, Williamson’s sapsucker, Franklin’s gull, Pine siskin, Cassin’s finch, White faced ibis, Wilson’s snipe, Yellow headed blackbird, osprey, American Avocet, Western Meadowlark, Marbled godwit, Lesser yellow legs, Yellow rumped warbler, Tree swallow, Sage thrasher, Short billed dowitcher, Northern rough winged swallow, Spotted sandpiper, American pipit, White crowned sparrow, Lincoln’s sparrow, Ruby-crowned kinglet, Barn swallow, Great blue heron, Mountain blue bird, Western blue bird, Townsend’s solitare, Ring necked ducks, Belted king fisher. All of them migrate to Mexico or further south during winter. So according to your logic they are all Mexican birds.
We all make mistakes it’s OK I just don’t want to see you be the laughing stock of the bird community when you tell the world in your book that these are all Mexican birds.
Speaking of your book I have some great tips for you I’ll write them up in a bit for you.
They are great tips on how you can separate your book from the dozens of field guides already in circulation.

The bird was born in the states maybe even in your backyard. It raises it's young in the states and if you google List of birds of the United States you will see the red-naped Sapsucker. Fact is is you want to split hairs you can't prove the bird in your picture didn't spend the winter in New Mexico or Texas.
Now when you write your bird book you can credit me with the Red-naped Sapsucker data.:)

This has a Grant Wood look to it (Man & Woman with pitchfork).
Great texture as well.
I'm going to take a guess and say this is Chris (Mrchhas).
Either way you did a great job on this. Well done.

This is just super, if I had to describe it in a word I would say it's creamy. Everyone likes creamy.
Very well done.
