    Those are absolutely gorgeous! And much better than just removing the remnants of the trees! Too bad this isn't more publicized.

    I've seen many chainsaw carvings here in Ohio, but they are usually of bears and eagles. It's nice to see a bigger variety of birds and using what was left of damaged trees. What a neat idea.
