American Redstart Balsa Ornament

The American redstart is a North American songbird who winters in coffee plantations in Central and South America. "Redstart" comes from the male's orange-reddish tail and flanks.

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".
