This weekend we went to the cabin and I made birds out of natural materials. I made the Magnolia Warbler, Mallard, Black-capped Chickadee, Bald Eagle, Ruby- throated Hummingbird and American Robin.
The American Robin is made out of charcoal (black), Oregon Grape root (yellow), roten log (orange), sand (gray), and a stick.
The Magnolia Warbler is made out of yellow Alder leaves, ashes (white), charcoal (black), a combination of ash and charcoal (gray), and twigs.
The Black-capped Chickadee is made out of ashes (white), charcoal (black), a combination of ash and charcoal (gray), wood pieces (pale pink), and twigs.
The Mallard is made out of Pondarosa Pine bark (brown), Oregon Grape leaves (green), and a wood chip(white).
The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is made out of many leaves (green + red) and a twig (white).
The Bald Eagle is made out of lichen (white) and Pondarosa Pine bark (brown).

Howdy would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good hosting provider at a fair price? Many thanks, I appreciate it!
