Here is a list birds perfectly named to be carved from wood. Start soon; this looks like a lifetime project: Wood Duck, Wood Lark, Wood Nuthatch, Wood Sandpiper, Wood Snipe, Wood Stork, Wood Thrush, Wood Warbler, eight species of woodcock, 42 species of woodcreepers, two woodhaunters, two woodhens, a Woodlark, seven species of woodnymphs, 11 species of woodswallows, the Wood Shrike, 15 species of woodstars, and more woodpeckers than I cared to count. If you want to work from live models, the Wood Duck, Wood Thrush, and seven woodpecker species can be found in Minnesota. This information comes from the book “Birds of the World, Recommended English Names” by Frank Gill land Minturn Wright. (Photo: Wood Stork, Cedar Key, Florida.) These three birds could be difficult to carve because of the apparent problems in seeing or hearing them: Inaccessible Island Rail, Invisible Rail, and Whispering Ibis.
