Hi Peggy,
Thanks. I'll try to get going on Medicine Eagle today. If I make any progress I'll post a pic.

Hey Frank, I thought this may be interesting to you, the bird man. As I don`t have a bird teacher nearby, research on bird anatomy might be of some help to me. So I ran into this actual skeleton animation site,where the bone array of different bird species can be seen in detail, and rotate them at will.As I was checking the interesting site, it was noticeable the larger skulls of the macaw and the parrot. Actually, I believe they belong to the same bird family. So this takes us to the outstanding intelligence of these birds that can learn words,phrases and songs. It`s amazing. And it`s obvious that the skull capacity allows a bigger brain and a more intelligent being.In this regard, as it`s proven too, the only anatomical differences between man and apes,is the size of penis and brain.This a cientific fact Frank, no joke. Not to say eagles and many other birds are dumb so to speak,nature just abhors sameness, nothing wrong with that. Hope it`s of some interest to yo. Nelson.

Hi Nelson,
Hey, what's the address of that site? I really want to explore it.The glacier is receding and there are a few spots with no snow. The birds are back in strength. I called in a Raven this morning. He couldn't resist checking me out. I have to go to town today, so I'm going to visit Munising Falls. There is a Raven nest right in the cliff by the falls!

Frank, talk, talk, talk, and forgot to give the site, here it is: http://www.skullsite.com/skeletons/index.htm?birdskeletons.htm~tree

Hi Nelson,
AWSOME! Thank you, thank you.........
Frank

Frank, your eagle is looking good. All the work you have put out over the last few months has made me realize how much I want and need to create something too.
I get to forge everyday at my job. Now that the weather has broken here on the prairie maybe I too can get into the shop and make some art.
Your eagle is going to be great when your done.
Just like the other flatware eagle and the raven.
I love all the work you have shown. Thanks for posting all the pics of your progress.

Nelson, thanks for posting the link to the skeleton site.
Very cool.

Steve

Hi Steve,
Thank you. Can't you just feel the creative forces building up inside? I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of your shop.Have fun.
Frank
