As always, I am surprised, that is, amazed, by how artists turn birds into art. I think you will be, too.

Hi, Marian! The found object birds blew my mind! What creativity! I sent you an American Redstart yesterday, but I must have done it incorrectly. I will try to send it again next month. ________________________________
Great! I don’t know who you are, swiftlygladiator. But I welcome your American Redstart. You can send it to me anytime and I will save it for the October Draw-a-Bird Day
