Sialia sialis

This charming miniature depicts a "teen-aged" bluebird brood days before they are on their own. Father is not sure who to feed. The piece is 4 1/2 inches wide and 3 inches high.

The branch separates from the base, and may be displayed with or without the elm-wood base. The birds are of tupelo. The fine detail may be seen in several of the photos. The sculpture is at the Robert Paul Galleries.
