I’m back!

 Hello Readers, 


As everyone in the world knows, the last 2 years of the pandemic has been tumultuous and really threw a wrench in everything.  


Right before the pandemic I moved into my house in Fort Lauderdale, FL and spent a lot of time cleaning it up and transforming the yard from lawn and non-native and invasive trees into a Florida Native Plant garden! I did complete a few carvings during these times and shall post them in upcoming post. 

Here is a list of the recent carvings:

2020:

131-133. Bachmans Sparrows (singing) 

134. Ruby-throated Hummingbird (flying male)

135. Palm Warbler (Western ssp. - winter)

136. Gray Catbird

137. Florida Scrub Jay 

138. Hawaiian Duck (duckling) 

139. Java Sparrow 

140. White-rumped Shama

141. American Redstart

2021

142. Painted Bunting (male)

143. Snowy Plover (Western ssp. California)

144. Eastern Whip-poor-will 

145. Redhead (male)

146. Downy Woodpecker

147. Costa’s Hummingbird

148. Bobwhite

149. Black-whiskered Vireo

150. Common Ground-Dove

151. Black-and-White Warbler

152. Common Gallinule 

153. Marbled Murrelet (Alaska)

154. Semipalmated Sandpiper 

155. White-rumped Sandpiper

156. Black-capped Petrel (Cuba)

157. Coal Tit (Portugal)

158. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 

159. Ruddy Duck (male-winter)


The next bird I’m working on will be a Roseate Spoonbill so that should be my first bird of 2023 if I don’t get sidetracked on another bird. 

As always, thanks for reading, and to stay up to date follow me on IG, TikTok, and I should be posting some carvings on YouTube as well.

Happy Holidays!
