Baby Bird and Chick Carving

In this book, leading wildlife artist Rosalyn Daisey leads you through carving the chicks of five birds: the Carolina chickadee, the Eastern bluebird, the bobwhite quail, the killdeer and the wood duckling.

Each step in the process is illustrated with a clear color photograph and a concise explanation from the author about what the step involves and how to do it correctly. In addition, there are reference drawings, color palettes and photographs of study skins.

As always, she shares the anecdotes and insights of a wildlife lover, and it is easy to see why her work seems to reflect a reverence for her subjects.
