homeJim Sprankle has won numerous awards for his carvings of ducks and more recently of wading birds, particularly those indigenous of Sanibel Island, Florida. Below is a selection of some of his carvings. These are low resolution images to enable timely downloading of the image. Each is linked to a higher resolution, larger photograph that you can see, simply by clicking on the small version below.
BUT BE AWARE....these larger images range in size from 100,000 to 400,000+ bytes and using a normal phone line and modem, a few will require a minute or more to obtain. The numbers next to each species name include (1) the file size and (2) the estimated download time using a 28.8 kbps modem and an ordinary phone line. Start the downloading and go make yourself a cup of tea. Then, sit and enjoy both the tea and the image.
