I have another mishmash of my local bird pics, paintings, and videos. If you are so inclined, pick out the bird that laid these eggs. I hope it’s fun guessing, and good luck if you don’t already know the answer.

Does anyone recall seeing this, and if so, where? Please leave a guess. Tiger painting in oils created by my Gr. Grandmother Sarah. I plan to make a frame for it.

My Great Grandmother, Sarah Hammond was born in 1851 in Herkimer County, New York. Sarah was an unusual woman for her time in that she possessed not only a deep sense of civic pride, but also a strong love of the arts. In 1873 she helped organize the Reading Circle “to promote the study of literature and social betterment.” In addition to her love of books, she was a student of art and an artist of high talent.

What is this?

My friend and neighbor was helping me work on one of my JD tractors a month ago and spotted this eagle in my barn. He was rather impressed with it as the wing span is about 3' across and it's heavy. He thought it would look really good if it had an American Flag painted on it. I thought so myself. I finished it yesterday. We will give it to him an his family today as a Christmas gift.
