Rock Wren
Few birds are so appropriately
named. It's favorite habitat is rocks in a sunny location such as
rocky canyons, talus slopes, rocky buttes, and rock-strewn
dry washes. But more than this, it paves the bottom and entrance
of its nest with pebbles and stones. A high quality of craftmanship
and precision is evident. Some of their nests have "walkways"
eight to ten inches long. One nest was found to have over
1500 bits of rock, bone, shell and metal.
This aluminum
sculpture is mounted on a natural sage branch with an unbreakable
poly-carbon base. The artists attention to detail makes this little beauty
come to life. Because Rock Wrens tend to collect rocks for their nest the
artist adorned the base with small elegant stones to bring this piece to
life. Like all of Daniel's sculptures this is a hand crafted one of a kind
original. Purchase includes a letter of authenticity signed by the artist.
