There is minor old retouch to the backgrounds of both works. It does not affect the birds themselves, and is very subtle. The most noticeable area is on the painting with the tan breasted woodcock (rather than the whiter one),where there is a line of retouch after the shadow cast by the nail. This area just appears slightly more mat than the rest of the background.
