Australia Bird Mug Shots

For a long time, I have been interested in comparing side and front views of birds. I like to call these Bird Mug Shots. Sometimes, seeing these two views side-by-side gives a very different look at the birds features. Sometimes, the mug shot is just plain funny. I took many photos in Australia that resulted in mug shots and here they are. Val Cunningham and I wrote a book called Bird Mug Shots featuring North American Birds. Here's a link to the book. https://www.etsy.com/shop/EarlOrfPhotos
