Default Rose Breasted Grosbeak
Here's a piece I did before the Hummingbird. Named it "Breakfast at Jana's" suggesting the ladybug is gonna get chowed on! Wanted a simple base. Tupelo and acrylics. Am thinking of suggesting a change of names though for the bird. It should be a Giant Beaked Rose Breasted Grosbeak. They have huge beaks on 'em!!

Great carving as usual....the use of the leaf as the base is different, if it's not copywrighted I might use a variation of it when I do another song bird.
