Birds on my SOTD — Hermes Factory, such a delight.
That one down by the skateboarding penguin is very well camouflaged! Thank you for doing this and for sharing that Kluska is Polish for Noodle. I often call my newfies noodle because they walk with such a wiggle. Fun! BTW, you looked stunning at the museum in your Singapore and that cobalt blue jacket.
SOYD out and about to knock out some errands - a debut of my new to me Treve de L'eau. In spite of my desire to veg and read a book, chores won. But, I finally had the 'excuse' to wear this. It's a Dallet with monkeys, evokes a place I've visited, and has gobs of artfully done birds. Here's a little quiz for the bird nerds, what species do you see here?
Here's one so widespread I've seen it on three different continents:
A personal favorite and such a pretty bird! Here is my favorite corner pair on display.
Hello monkeys!
Ohayou kawasemi! Good morning, kingfisher!

🤩 - green scarf and green with envy am I! Congrats!!!
I am not good at birds and can only safely identify the hoopoe but my travel companion earlier this week said something about hornbills, sarus cranes and jacana(?).
this is My much paler version - hi sister!!
This colorway is exceptionally lovely and one I have never seen!
My favorite sort of little creatures - birds.
Birds, birds, birds as @Teaforparrots would say!
Les Oiseaux des Champs et Bois
A nuthatch (not sure) escaping the border - making a run for the hills maybe?
This ‘fellow’ seems to be getting an earful from two (parents?) Ruby or Golden Crowned Kinglets (maybe), while a nosy wren looks on.
Happy Friday!

Looks like the central character may be begging for food from parents who are ready to be done with it 🐤😆
Great scarf @Cookiefiend! It does bring the drama if one looks carefully. What are those ruby-crowned kinglets fighting about? Two have the ruby crown and one does not. On the basis of that detail, I think it's a lady with a mate telling an overly-interested new male to get lost, hahahaha. She's already got her mate! Fun fact = Ruby crowned kinglets are monogamous but not for life. They form a new pair bond each season.
What a wonderful post, an amazing experience to share with us, and the scarf is truly beautiful.Today I am wearing for the first time my Tsitsika 90, and I am over the moon that I was lucky enough to nab this. It is a Kermit Oliver design, and I think I am sisters with @EtsyBoss on this and others, I’m sure.
It is my understanding that the Native Americans/First Nations people depicted here are the Kwakiutl people. Every year DW and I take a trip on our sturdy Canadian-built boat for 2-3 weeks, launching from the San Juan Islands and going up into remote and largely pristine Canadian islands, and coastline, on the Inside of Vancouver Island. A fews year ago we went all the way up to the Broughton Islands and on our way back, we crossed Blackfish Sound (picture breaching Orcas and Humpback whales everywhere) and spent a few days at Alert Bay on Cormorant Island. This island is inhabited by the Kwakiutl People who are part of the larger Kwakwaka’wakw cultural group. There are also some non-native residents living on the island nearby.
When we arrived the village and the docks were bustling because the once-every-4-year run of “red” salmon (otherwise known as Sockeye) was happening just then (!) and they were heading out to catch the village’s allotted share. Over the next days, the fishing boats would come back full, and each residence had a large blue tub sitting in their yard waiting to receive their household share of the prized salmon. Every household was busy with cleaning their fish, smoking it, and mostly canning it because they needed it to last another 4 years - until the next run from the Adams Tributary. As we walked through a neighborhood to view the world’s tallest totem pole at the Big House, an older couple waved us over to their yard, sharing their excitement of the generous haul. They taught us how to clean salmon using a different method than the one we use. They showed us their canning room, their cedar lined smoke shacks and insisted we take a small fresh salmon back to our boat for our dinner that night. (We protested fervently but it became clear we were insulting them - Potlatch principles and all…. ) The woman’s grandfather had been the chief, and we later looked up her name and sure enough, it was so. And you know, it truly was some of the best tasting salmon we had ever had, and that’s saying something because we have consumed a lot of fresh-caught salmon over the years. I rank it in my top four salmon tasting experiences ever.
We met other Kwakiutl people while we were there, some of whom took it upon themselves to educate us on the history of what had been done to them by the European settlers. They also have an incredible cultural center and museum in which you can see many of the costumes and masks shown here on this scarf. It is called the U’mista Cultural Center. And along the waterfront there is an area where there are dozens of family totem poles of various ages.
So here is my Scarf of the Day, which also happens to have many critters on it. Tsitsika aka “The Time When Nothing Is Real”.
I decided to emphasize the marine life but have added a few terrestrial animals as well to the close up photos. You can just make out the orca on the upper part of my tie.

We have a seal and a giant oyster shell (the animals are all rendered in various sizes having nothing to do with actual scale)View attachment 6156803View attachment 6156799
A spawning Sockeye salmon, an orca whale, and I especially love this tiny octopus (probably a Giant Pacific Octopus) that I had never noticed before. View attachment 6156800View attachment 6156801View attachment 6156802
There are many other critters on the scarf, so here are a few. I dare not try to name the rodent - maybe a mink as we have a lot of those? And another turtle for @LKBNOLA.

Before I disappear into holidays and vacation, let me just say thank you to @HermesEchidna for creative and fun leadership and to everyone else for the beautiful and informative participation. I learned a lot and have new and wonderful vignettes, species and critters to look for in my scarves.
I'll close with a TPF debut of my most recent CCP . One that absolutely fits the theme of biodiversity this week! I went a little crazy and added these huge fun earrings. which are much darker in real life than the sun has made them in the photo!
My SOTE is Wild Singapore cw 05
Wonderful critters in this design, including an upside down owl for @Jereni!

No SOTD for me today but, I have so much enjoyed the treasures shared here. So many details in our scarves. It's always fun to see what others have and how they style it. This week I've learned that I need to reconsider wildlife in my scarves and be more open to welcoming critters into my collection.
Thank you for this beautiful post and all the scarf details. It suits you perfectly. The region you are describing is very dear to my heart, from the Olympic Peninsula to the San Juan’s and Vancouver Island. The little critter could be an otter.Today I am wearing for the first time my Tsitsika 90, and I am over the moon that I was lucky enough to nab this.
