In Honor of the Winged Nation

Pileated Woodpecker

4”H; 4 ¼”W ; $250

This spectacular bird is the largest of our woodpeckers. He is always a delight to see whenever we are blessed with his presence.

Spotted Towhee

4”H; 4 ½”W ; $250

This red-eyed towhee is common in our area. His bold colors makes him easily identifiable but hard to spot in the brush.

Thunderbird

3 ¼”H; 7 ¼”W; $275

One of my totems is a golden Eagle. I wanted to do a special tribute to this favored raptor. To me, this basket represents more of the spiritual qualities of the bird rather than a visual representation.

Great Blue Heron

3 ¾”H; 4”W; $225

The juvenile Great Blue has an eye catching stripe of black and white up its long neck. This is offset by its pearly gray back and wings.

California Quail

4 ¾”W; 4”W; $250

The California Quail’s complex patterning keeps this darling bird well camouflaged.

Flicker

3 ¾”H; 4 ¾”W; $250

This basket takes its colors and patterns from the Northern Flicker, a large bird with distinctive plumage. The top of his gray head is red with a red mustache. He has a black bib with black polka dots on his white chest. A few years ago, a Flicker demanded my attention by loudly and repeatedly rapping on my gutter every dawn for a number of days. Even so, I am very fond of this flashy bird.

Red Head

3 ¾”H; 5”W; $250

When my husband and I go to Klamath to go birding, I’m always on the lookout for this handsome duck. I love his striking red head, his light blue bill, his black chest and black and white mottled back.

Tails of the Wild Geese

8½”D; Sold

I took the pattern of the tails of four Greater White-fronted Geese on a blue background to form a mandala.
