The Ohio Bird from stripygoose

[FinnBadger]

stripygoose surprised me with this incredible rendition of Ohio's state bird. This thing is huge, only just fit on the scanner. The mail carrier kindly put it behind the screen door rather than force it through the letterbox.

 

 

Even better, she has a great story to go with it. And in some crazy postal weirdness, she had to add a customs sticker, even though it is a card (on cardboard, actually), and cannot be opened!

 

 

And better yet, there is a pair of cardinals that camp out in my back yard. The female...

 

 

...and the male.

 

Thank you so much, this was such a great piece to receive and enjoy.

Forgot to add the cardinal on the christmas tree...

Finnbadger, that is a cool blog, thanks! And life imitating art in your own back yard... those red beaks are delightful. Thank you for living in Ohio - I enjoyed doing that one!
