The birds ~

My collection of ceramic birds started with these three found at a garage sale in East Sacramento, California.  I bought a lot of five birds ($10 each) and at the time thought that was a high price to pay. 

My flock kept growing with this bird purchased at the E Street Thrift Shop in Sacramento. 

And, lastly, doves labeled "An original creation by Marvin of Santa Cruz" that I snapped up for a dollar or two at a shop I hope to visit this weekend, Snowline Hospice of El Dorado County at 455 Placerville Drive, Placerville, California.
