1.  What came easily was the overall image but what was challenging was the colors within the bird and getting those right.  Defining the wings were challenging too.  2. I noticed all kinds of things when drawing this warbler -- the wing bars, the faint mark behind the eye, the 2-tone black of the beak, the long legs.  I think the advantage of nature journaling is how it generates a sense of wonder and awe.
