Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality Sculpture!
Three members of a family of birds are taking turns sitting on the precious eggs in their nest!
The "babysitter" currently on the nest, sits quietly while the other two birds are enjoying their "break".
Are they looking for something to eat and stretching their necks?
I particularly like the Caribou head carved into the lower part of their tree.
Is this the bird version of an address sign designating their particular tree?
