A crimson-headed bird perches among shadowed branches, its black-barred plumage glowing against muted greens. The Western Tragopan’s golden eye fixes on something unseen, tension coiled in its stance—a fleeting balance between concealment and revelation. Watercolor strokes suggest feathers ruffled by a breeze the viewer can’t feel.
