North Carolina Yard Birds

We love our yard birds and have all kinds because we put out several feeders and a heated bird bath during the winter months. This panel may not be considered large at 16″x32″, but it has approximatly 583+/- pieces of cut glass that required grinding, foiling, and lots of joint soldering. All the birds captured here are found in our North Carolina yard. The bird patterns where developed using images from a "coloring book" website. All solder joints are finished with copper patina, and the panel is framed with brass channel. Normally hanging in our bay window, it is interesting to watch the "real" male cardinals get upset and attack the outside of the bay window trying to get at the cardinals in the panel.
