I first heard of the junco when I was a young boy coloring eggs for Easter. Deciding to do things my way, I found a second bowl and began to mix a little of each colored dye to make my own special color. I ended up with a dark, bluish-purple and my mother laughed and said the egg I dyed looked like a junco. That was the first time I had heard the word, but I liked the sound of it. Later my mother told me what a junco was. Even when I was very young, she knew I had an intense interest in birds. I had to wait until the next winter before I could get a good look at a junco. Here in northeast Ohio, this slate-colored member of the sparrow family is commonly identified as the “snowbird.” In Ohio, we use the same name for seniors who head to Florida and points south for the winter. However, when the feathered snowbirds reach Ohio for their winter sojourns, they have already made their trips south, migrating from the more severe weather to our north. Seeing the juncos arrive in Ohio is a clear indicator that winter is upon us. Although this bird has several subspecies, this article will focus on the dark-eyed junco (Junco hyemalis), more commonly known as the slate-colored junco. I will carve the bird from tupelo, using power tools.

Here is the little owls that I do. The first year that I did them was 2005 when I had a problem(unknown at the time).. but I lost weight and no desire to do anything.. this lasted for 9 months with visits to my primary doctor every two to three weeks..and we would try something else for a couple of weeks..and on and on , until June of the following year. I did the JIM RAHM style (type 1) and did around 1,400 . It was the only thing I carved during that time. The JIN RAHM TYPE 3 MINUTE OWL I started making this take after a number of years THE TYPE 2 Jim only taught eye to eye..and knife to wood...NO PATTERN.. years later a good friend of mine , John Lukens came up with this one and I used it in a class in Longview with the club as that were attending a LEWIS and CLARKE function in the park and wanted something to give to the kids I used all scrap wood.. and cut to whatever size I could get out of it BUT nothing larger than 1/2 inch and most of them smaller. IO never really use a pattern and only made a few pencil markings for the firs 25 or so.. since the wood was not always the same size it was faster just to carve away with the knife.. Later I started to use a small V tool to do the claws and a small #11 to do the eyes.. as it was much quicker... ENJOY... Over the years I have just carried them around in my pockets and given to almost everyone I encountered.. at the bank,store,doctors office, and car dealers . Oh..the problem I had.. "it was from a blood thinner they had put me on." so if you are on AGGRENOX and have a head problem(or headaches) STOP. I called my doctor after talking to a friend.... and he said "Stop for a week and then give me a call".. I skipped to pills and was up and running the next day..
