   They sound like Kelly Freas covers for Analog from 1972-74 (ish). The   
   flying creature one sounds like the cover for a Poul Anderson novel   
   serialised at that time - cant remember the title it featured feathered   
   intelligent creatures with lips and teeth. It's also very similar to one of   
   the Ace paperback covers for a Nick van Rijn story by Anderson.
