This fella has such an interesting face. He gazes at the viewer with a quizzical look. "What are you looking at? What are you doing here?? Whooo are you??!" (Sorry, couldn't resist that last one!)
This illustration is the work of George Edward Lodge, an artist known for his skill at accurately depicting birds. His initials are visible in the lower left corner. This image is from "Bird Notes" by Jane Mary Hayward, published in 1895.
This one grabbed my attention, but I look forward to going through the other books Lodge contributed to and admiring his realistic artwork!
