Hooded Warbler Balsa Ornament

Hooded warblers often fan their tails, showing off their white outer tail feathers. This is believed to startle insects into flying, allowing the warblers to catch their next meal.

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".
