Just a quick sketch of some birds I dreamt of last night...

I remember these birds looking a lot creepier than I've drawn them. But I also remember not being afraid of them, and finding them interesting to look at. At one point in the dream I think one was staring at me with one of its huge eyes, and that's why I remember those especially.

Weird, in the dream they were referrred to as "eagles," but they strongly resemble Egyptian Vultures, without the bald face. I remember their beaks being yellow, and their bodies were all white, save for some light grey markings.

They had huge, pale greenish eyes, with darker green veins around the edges, and tiny slitted pupils. I think their eyes were even bigger than I've drawn them here.

In the dream, they had made a nest right up against a wall of my house, and were also close to a sparrow's nest (I don't recall anything strange about the sparrows, though they may have been finches). The two species didn't seem to mind each other.

I remembered something was going on that might have harmed the birds' nests, and that I was trying to help move them to a safer location somehow. I don't remember much else.

It's been almost a year since I had that dream. I don't think I have much else to add. I do remember that the birds seemed fairly protective of their nest, but for some reason let me move it to a safer place instead of attacking me.

I still remember their big, creepy eyes. They were probably twice as big as how I've drawn them, and I don't know why I didn't draw them as big as they actually were in the dream.

(I should probably upload a higher resolution version of this, just noticed it's a bit pixelated. Hope I still have the original file somewhere.)
