Bird nesting in the Cretaceous! This is the illustration I did for a new paper by Lauren Wilson and colleagues that is published TODAY in Science The new paper describes an assemblage of fossils that includes both chicks and adults from multiple species of Late Cretaceous birds!

This research suggests that birds have been breeding in Arctic regions for a very, very long time. Today is also my birthday and I am so happy that the paper and my illustration made the cover of Science! Great present for me! 😋🎂🎉
