MFF: Bird-of-the-Month Tag: August: Kingfisher

Hi swappers!

Many thanks to Ros for hosting July's BOTM tag while I was in California!

Did you know that each of the 12 months is associated with a specific bird? I found the list on Audubon and thought we'd create a tag with the bird-of-the-month--1 for each month.

So . . . according to Audubon, the bird for August is the Kingfisher! For August, we'll create a size #6 tag (2-5/8"x5.25") featuring a kingfisher. Lots of different kingfisher species to choose from--try to choose one from your geographic location.

Please begin with a sturdy base, crop the upper edges to create a tag shape, punch a hole at the top and string something (ribbon/jute/twine/charm) through.

For your info, here are the months and associated birds:

January: Owl

February: Parrot

March: Robin

April: Canary

May: Nightingale

June: Dove

July: Eagle

August: Kingfisher

September: Hawk

October: Swan

November: Rooster

December: Raven

Hope you'll join me in a year of bird tag swaps in 2021!
