American Goldfinch

[Marc Barger]

Here's another piece for the commissions I'm doing for the collector. Wanted to have the base a piece of dead oak branch to contrast with the live bird! Just have to figure a name for it now. Tupelo for both the Goldfinch and the branch.

Beautiful job (as usual) Mark!!

I'd have a tough tie naming it, all I know is that they really love thistle seeds...love to watch 'em on the feeders...

[Mottles]

Beautiful Mark! As for a name how about 'Natures Songbird' or on that same thought 'Natures Yellow & Black Songbird'.

I'd call it "Lemon Zest"...

Very nice Marc. Did a couple of these fellows myself. Beautiful bird.

Superb little carving Marc, lovely setting for the sweet little Wild Canary. We have them nest in the trees surrounding our house every summer and are regular visitors to our feeders. They just make my day watching them while sitting on the deck in the morning.

Thanks Marc...... that carving made me think of the joys of summer, here in the depths of another snow fall.

Beautiful - 'awsomely' (is that a word ?) beautiful.

[Doug Ridley]

That's a great job, Marc. When I was a kid(100 years ago) we called them "wild canaries".

I can't think of anything more to say than what's been said about how wonderful it it, but he gives me the impression that he's anxiously waiting his turn at the bird feeder. Ready to launch off that branch any second!
Beautiful carving.
