I said this based on my many years of figure drawing from long ago. But I just haven't forced myself to sketch birds, always opting for photos instead. Now, thanks to this forum and especially Nick Derry and JoMo, I have! I agree with you both about the excitement. I remembered it from figure drawing, and I guess also from street sketches I used to do. It's nice for it now to be fresh and not a distant memory!Ken</blockquote>
