Great Egret Balsa Ornament

This tall, white, wading bird is the symbol for the National Audubon Society. Although they only flap their wings 2 times per second, they can travel at up to 25 miles per hour.

Made out of sustainably harvested balsa wood, these lightweight ornaments are hand-carved and then painted with non-toxic acrylic paint by a cooperative of skilled artisans on Isla Solentiname, Nicaragua. Approximate size: 5" x 2".
