Picture Stories #257 - Final Stone Bird

in photography •  6 years ago 

This time I give up.
While many details separately resemble that of previous sculpture, the previous bird was posed in such a way that gave it menacing look. This one seems to be covering (head pushed down between shoulders), instead of boldly looking forward in search of prey, it looks up in the sky as if it was itself a potential victim of sudden aerial attack. Overall "feel" of this one tells me it might be young bird, but I'd need to see it from other angles to be sure.
One important detail that differentiates it from previous one: long tail feathers spread widely that indicate high maneuverability, a feature of many birds of prey (including eagle, but eagle would have yellow crooked beak) but also small insect catchers like swallows and swifts.
