\"\"<\/a>Birdchick<\/a> wondered if anyone had any fun bird ornaments, so I thought I’d post a few pics of some of the ones that grace our tree. We used just the glass ornaments to decorate this year, so the really *fun* ones stayed tucked away in the attic. If you’re a bird lover, I’m sure you have lots of *fun* bird ornaments that people have given you over the years. I’m not talking about nice ornaments; I mean the cheesy ones that people grab because they have a bird somewhere on them. I’ve got quite a few of those (that don’t resemble any natural bird I’ve ever seen) – mostly given by my SIL. And Kevin, not your wife, you know which SIL I’m talking about here! The type of ornaments that make you hesitant to admit to a hobby, for fear of what you might find wrapped beneath the tree with your name written on the tag.<\/span>
\"\"<\/a> Junior wanna-be?<\/span>
\"\"<\/a> Sometime before Christmas I need to learn how to take in-focus photos of the tree and ornaments.<\/span>
\"\"<\/a> Had I wanted to be cruel, I’d have posted fuzzy pictures of the not-quite-accurate, but still pretty ornaments and asked you to identify them.<\/span>
\"\"<\/a>These may be hard enough to ID without a good imagination. In addition to birds on our tree, we have lots of butterflies, dragonflies, and many other insects and animals thanks to the NWF catalog<\/a>. They make nice sets and have new designs each year. My husband is a good customer.<\/span>
\"\"<\/a> The last few years they’ve offered lots of owls and herons, but only this eagle and no other hawks. I’d like a red-tail or maybe a handsome kestral.<\/span>
\"\"<\/a> We have a few ducks, mostly some variety of mallard, but this wood duck is a favorite. What’s on your tree?<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
