Alan

I'm happy to have these to build, thanks Alan

Hey cool Bob! That looks like a young Cooper's, probably disappointed to not find that goose edible ha

Bob, you must not be near a wind farm. Since they started building these wind farms, our number of hawks has noticeably dipped. Nice photo

Thank you! I found an owl on the road, injured, will have to show you a picture

I think paper is very well suited to replicate feathers, beaks, etc.
It is light and thin . . . so much in common with the parts of the bird.

Thanks again Mike these are quite realistic designs by Johan, work well as cardmodel I agree

I am on the lookout for white crowns in among the back garden white throats. No joy yet.

Thanks Don, I tried to send a picture to Johan I don't think I did it right..I am at work supporting a small group of house sparrows, they are active little fellas. Only "real " bird I get is a Song sparrow here, although a flicker flew up briefly to the feeder despite it practically is touching the window..

Thank you! I get a lot of enjoyment out of birds of all kinds...

This is the Barred owl I found am happy to report he is recovering at the local wildlife vet, cool, was sitting in the middle of the road...hanging out in my pickup with me

[Vermin_King]

Very cool, sir. Our owls didn't have any young this year. I was extremely disappointed. Barney, last year's hatchling, was quite entertaining, as was his mom


What type of injury did your new friend have?

[Bob Penikas]

Howdy,

Today this bird hesitated long enough for me to grab the camera.

Then he was gone; zero to sixty!

Maybe good enough shots here for your reference file.
