At the far end of the lake stands a tall, dry tree with an eagle that we are struggling to determine and it remains a dark silhouette far too far. Somewhere below that mysterious eagle, at the far shore of the lake, lies one Bengal Tiger … and further to the right – two more! He has earned his tip. Very dusty Swarovski CLs.

I then had a list of 20 or so favorites and decided that, in order to get down to 10 birds, each bird needs to be in a different family. So I decided to impose a few rules.
