Rare Birds for Wildcare

Come by the Marin Jewelers Guild from September 6 through October 3 to see some very rare birds. The metal smiths will be selling the one-of-a-kind bird pins to help support WildCare. Each pin is a work of art reflecting the distinctive style and skill of the artisan that created it.

The guild will host a reception in honor of the bird pins on September 11 from 6 to 8 p.m. In addition to the pins, you can also check out and purchase beautiful prints and paintings of birds by artists Barbara Banthien and Peta Sanderson. Some of the birds featured in their work were rescued by WildCare, and a portion of the proceeds from sales of their art will go to the organization. Don't miss this chance to swoop up a special bird pin, painting or print and help WildCare in the process. See the bird pin pictures here.
