I had several first of the year House Finches at my backyard sunflower chip feeders today. Also had a Bewick’s Wren, also but it was too quick for a photo. Auburn, Washington. Photo taken through back patio door with my handheld iPhone 16 Pro.

Because I consider my carved birds to be art, not craft. Here is a life-sized male Prothonotary Warbler, carved out of Tupelo wood, painted with acrylics, on a small wood base, eyeing an epoxy caterpillar.
