A black songbird with a head crest perched in front of a bighorn sheep skull and holding a red berry in its beak right in front of the skull's eye socket. Behind the skull are saguaro cacti with white flowers blooming and there is a gold ribbon winding through the scene. The background is dark brown with a dark vignette around the edges.

An illustration of an American Coot with bat wings. It's got a little fang and its lobed foot is pointed out in front as if it's strutting. The bird and its outstretched wings are colored in deep blues while the background is in shades of ruby red with a brighter red starburst shape behind the bird.

A small songbird with yellow belly, olive back, and black facial markings perched below an outcropping of glowing mushrooms that are growing out of a tree trunk. There is grass in the foreground and background, and the whole scene is seemingly lit from the glow of the mushrooms.
