A selections of bird magnets

Hello on this rainy spring day in South Florida!  Theres been a lot of showers and storms coming from the Caribbean and its a good day to be inside and working on projects. One of the things I work on besides from my bird carvings is making what I call "flats".  These are flat pieces of wood carved into a semi-relief sculpture of the bird it represents.  Once they are carved and painted, they can be framed, turned into magnets, pins, keychains, and other accessories.

Here are a few sets that were made into magnets:

Golden Yellow Warbler (Cuban ssp.) and Florida Prairie Warbler
These 2 birds were seen together in the mangrove forest of Key Largo.

A custom set of 4 warblers:  
Black-throated Blue Warbler, Cerulean Warbler, Chesnut-sided Warbler, 
and Black-throated Green Warbler.  


A variety of birds from my summer collection last year. 
Ruddy Turnstone, Common Yellowthroat, Cooper's Hawk (a small male), 
Bobwhite (the darker Florida subspecies), Black Skimmer.
