This is my 15th birdcarving of Winter Wren (Misosazai). She is also a very small bird.
The Winter Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes), also known as the Northern Wren, is a very small bird, a member of the mainly New World wren family Troglodytidae. It is the only one of nearly sixty species in the family which occurs in the Old World; in Europe it is commonly known simply as the Wren.
This is my 14th birdcarving of Japanese White-eye. A small lovely bird whichI like her small white eye.
The Japanese White-eye is about 4 to 4.5 inches in size, with a yellow forehead, a greenish back, and dark brown wings and tail outlined in green. Like other white-eyes, this species exhibits the distinctive white eyering that gives it its name (mejiro also meaning "white eye" in Japanese). It is omnivorous, feeding primarily on insects and nectar.
