Two birds turned in to one. It just happened. 🙃 Then I did it a second time.

Bald eagle in flight drawing
A new drawing – an eagle in flight, 2 versions. The first in the upper left was a test sketch and then I drew most of the bird (based on the source photo).
You can see I get the wing behind the head a bit off …
Great Blue Heron
A GBH in flight at Fort De Soto Florida. The light was so great and I got lucky with focus as it decided to fly by.
The North Beach at Fort De Soto is one of the best places to shoot in all of Florida in my opinion.

This reddish egret is also from there.

2019 eagle 🦅💥
Sitting at Starbucks I drew an eagle (from memory, not from a specific photo).
Happy new year. 🎈
It’s going to be a great one 🕺
A few favorite Bald eagle photographs
Bald eagles are awesome, getting a good shot of an eagle fishing was probably my first bucket list shot, and I got it at Centennial Lake in Maryland a decade ago. The lake wasn’t known for eagles fishing but they did fish there sometimes. I learned at the time there were a few nests within a few miles and Columbia Maryland has 4 lakes…
This is an eagle flying by with a Coot from Merritt Island in Florida. Tue coots are there in groups of hundreds of birds. (I had a post on Flickr but must have deleted it in my purge. )
This image shows an eagle with a GPS “backpack” used to track it.
Finally this is a Ed Clark Jr about to release a rehabbed Immature eagle that had fallen out of its nest when it was just a nestling.
When young eagles fledge they’re full size. And actually they might seem bigger than adults because they have slightly oversized “training” feathers. 😉🦅
Eagle in pen
A rare straight pen drawing…
Eagle drawing 12/16/18
I found this source image where the line of the beak went right in to the line of the eyebrow and it seemed cool and different from I es I’d been studying.
So I drew another couple eagles from that.
And this one. I noticed a curve in that ridge on the beak I wasn’t getting right before. Although I guess each eagle could be different but in the one I noticed the s-curve in a new way to my eye.
3 eagles, with black feathers around the head
For these drawings I added black feathers around the head, which helped to show off the contrast of the white head feathers.
Bald eagle drawing on black
I’ve only done this once I think, where I made a black background to help make the white head of the eagle stand out…
Recently I saw this person’s drawings that are done with white “ink” on black paper. I found it to be different and really liked their drawings. 😉
