Readers are challenged to identify real bird species among a mix of invented avian creatures in The New Yorker's 15 April cover illustration, alongside a hidden cat optical illusion.
"Creating an image that requires the viewer to be engaged with it in the same way they interact with a puzzle is always rewarding," said artist Peter de Sève, regarding the cover design.
The New Yorker's cover artwork by de Sève is not only appreciated by readers but has sparked discussions about potentially turning the design into wallpaper.
For those struggling to locate the hidden cat on the cover, a hint is provided: the cat is being stared down by the flycatcher just below the center of the illustration.
