Piping Plover
The Piping Plover is a much beloved inhabitant of sandy ocean beaches. Their coloration provides them with an extraordinary ability to move about undetected. Sadly, the Piping Plover is either threatened or endangered in all of its range in the United States. This Plover is carved from southern tupelo wood. Many thin layers of acrylic wash have been applied creating great depth of subtleties and softness in the feathers. The base and eggs are carved from one piece of white pine. (…) 
ChickadeeAs delicate as the black-cappped chickadee appears, he is really a sturdy little bird. In winter, he bounces around from tree to tree, seeming not to notice the frigid temperatures. This chickadee is carved from tupelo wood. 
Northern OrioleAlso referred to as the Baltimore Oriole, this brightly colored songbird arrives only after he is sure that Spring is well underway. He is easily coaxed into the yard with a half of an orange left at the feeder. 
CrowThe Crow is probably the most recognized bird in America. Highly intelligent, this bird is a force with which to be dealt. The frog often makes a nice meal for a crow. Could it be that this frog has the upper hand in this scene? 
Eastern BluebirdThe Eastern Bluebird is truly the signal to northern folks that spring is close at hand. They inhabit open fields and orchards, nesting in hollow trunks or limbs of trees on the field’s edge. (…) 
Belted KingfisherA solitary bird, the kingfisher feeds on small, shallow-water fish, crawfish, and frogs. He can be seen flying swiftly ten to fifteen feet above the water. (…) 
American RobinThe American Robin is probably one of our most widely recognized songbirds. Who isn’t entertained by them as they bounce along our lawns “listening” for earthworms? 
Northern ShrikeWho would believe that this bird is classified as a songbird? Also commonly referred to as the "Butcher Bird", the shrike often preys upon other small birds, impaling them on thorns. (…)
