A very attractive model. Excellent work as always. They are common and bold little birds. One in particular would take seed directly from the palm of my grandfather's hand (early '70s memory). Speaking of the early '70s, the Boreal or Brown Capped Chickadee used to be equally as common in the mid-Hudson Valley winter months back then. I haven't seen one in close to 50 years.

My memory might be going ha, some birdmobile models are available in the US through the Northwest Nature Shop, not expensive and ship quick. I did get the merlin and the osprey.. the printed kits of Johan are a bit pricy to ship but the Barn owl looked too tempting anyway

Thanks Dan the small size of these is a bit challenging but I have built much smaller ha, I don't recall a Redtail, except the FG version? There are some very nice models for this sort of thing on Canon papercraft, the peregrine was fun.

He has some of the LS bird kits, so you might be able to save on postage being Stateside instead of coming across the big pond

The branch and base are similar to my other ones, foam core covered by a picture.

I am becoming a "Birder" student.
It is a pleasure to watch you build them. But just as much fun . . . I am learning an awful lot about the various species when you describe their habits, habitat, and other characteristics, as you did with this one. So I look forward to reading more. Mike |

A beautiful little thing. Truly a work of art.
