I Was ... Were You ?

Had an opportunity to attend the 2008 New York State Fair in Syracuse recently. Took this shot while doing so. It required little if any effort, even less expertise on my part to capture this "Bird". I post this to show how amazingly talented some artists/craftsmen can be. This is NOT a "Bird" ... It is NOT the work of a taxidermist. Those are NOT feathers ... This is a wood carving entered in the arts and crafts portion of the Fair. My jaw dropped when I first saw this in the display case ... and it fell off completely when I found out what I really was looking at. Were you fooled as I was ... by this masterful display of wood carving ? BTW ... I'm not sure ... but this was NOT awarded 1st prize as I recall. Unbelievable ... isn't it ?
