I had fun with the Carolina Wrens yesterday, so I did something similar with Great Blue Herons today - studies of different angles of the head. All done from photos of course, some of which were Jorge's. The one where it's looking straight-on is almost so strange I didn't include it, but there it is! Done with just a wash of black paint.

In the winter when birds are so hard to find, pay attention to chickadees, they sometimes bring their friends... That's how Jorge got this Brown Creeper - four Black-capped Chickadees were foraging in alder bushes beside the road and this guy was behind them, creeping up one trunk, flying to the base of another and creeping up that one - searching for insects in the bark crevices.
