Default Loon Wall Decorations

Has anyone seen anything like these loon wall decorations in any of the decorating/furniture shops around the lake? I have a large wall where 2 maybe 3 of these would be perfect. I can't tell if they are metal or wooden but my wife loves them which means I'm tasked with the "hunt".



Thanks.

Do they have to be flying? I only ask because I know that the vast majority of Loon pieces that you will find will depict them on the water; as that is how they spend the vast majority of their time. BTW I was able to find wooden flying loons on ETSY.

Default The Loon Center

Last summer I noticed that the Loon Center has a lot of loon and related decor that they sell to raise funds. Worth the visit!

I'm with TOW. I'm not able to see what you are referring to. League of NH Craftsmen stores often have interesting loon artwork.

Thanks.
Last month, I had an opportunity to tour a showing of James Audubon's 400+ North American bird prints. This is one of the Common Loon—known back then as "Great Northern Diver". A copy is available here, at a very reasonable $11 and free shipping.

Default Link image changed

Sorry, the link changed so my original picture as no longer. I was "borrowing" the link.

The pictures was of 2 loons, in flight, hanging on a wall.

Thanks for the suggestions. Will definitely visit the Loon Center.
