They're getting harder for two reasons;
1 - your knowledge and understanding of the birds is increasing and your drawing is taking a little time to catch up with what you know - and
2 - your own self-criticism and expectation levels are very high.
Not every drawing in every sketchbok will be a 'good' one so don't berate yourself for ones that don't work quite so well. Sketchbooks aren't about making beautiful drawings - they're your personal life contact with your suject; a place to contemplate, explore and discover.
FWIW - these drawings are quite lovely, anyway. Keep on.
