Handpainted 9" x 9" tiles handpainted with birds from 5 continents:
Abyssian Roller- Africa
Magellanic Penguin - South America
White-capped River-Redstart - Asia
European Bee-Eater - Europe
Loggerhead Shrike - North America
All were painted by local watercolorist and nationally known commercial tile artist Kathleen Carson in Tryon, NC and cost $30 each, plus $5 postage and packing. Make great gifts for the birder or cook in your family!
Next
time you are out in the field, look the part of a “real birder” with a
Ventures Birding cap!
We
are pleased to announce that Ventures now has its own especially embroidered
ball caps. Each one is a natural khaki color and comes with either a green or
blue bill. Each also has a Red Warbler embroidered on it, originally drawn by
Ventures owner, Simon Thompson.
Our friends at the Capeteria at the Asheville Mall here in Asheville, NC worked with us for many hours to get the warbler just right! Thanks guys!
Prices
are $15 each, plus postage and packing at $2.50
Unique
Ventures Bird Checklists
These
checklists have been used on Ventures tours for the last 10 years and we have
perfected them to be as user-friendly as possible. They have a large, easy to
read format and are very are attractively laid out. Both English and scientific
names are included and we try to keep ahead of all the relevant scientific
changes.
The
cost is $5.00 each plus postage. For 5 or more, the price drops to $4.00 each.
