A White-faced Heron on the hunt
The Black-necked Stork takes a stroll

These are great captures. I had to laugh at the black-necked stork that looks as if it will trip on its own leg in the next step!

I always enjoy your bird photographs.
There are great examples for the challenge.
I imagine the Eastern Spinebill is a baby chick.
It looks very fluffy. Cute …

Thank you Isadora, so glad you enjoy my bird photos. Spinebills are small very fast flying birds 🙂

My mom adored birds. I never did. I found them scary as a child. They would fly about and I thought I’d be attacked. I see them differently now. You’re photos of them always bring a smile. Thanks for posting. Have a great weekend …

I am glad you like my silhouette as it does take time to convert from a photo. Here is a post from a while ago if you are interested.

I love the post. So did you trace or draw the pictures in this current post?
LikeLiked by 1 person
It is a photo. It is converted to B&W. I then darken the black pixels around the edge. Then I whiten the pixels around the edge. Those pixels when viewed up close are grey.
This gives a sharp image for the photo.

So not pen and paper at all. Interesing. I wanted to make a coloring book of some the historic pictures I have of Woodlake, Any ideas about how I might go about that?
