I know, essiedub... Kermit Oliver was spot-on with his bird paintings on this one! He truly captured the spirit of each individual bird.

Wonderful collages, HH! And it's always a treat to see your smiling face. You are a brave lady.View attachment 3593157 View attachment 3593158 Two collages of my scarves with birds. Cheating a bit because you can't see them all! One collage homes in on the scarf tie, the other is my grinning visage - trying to cheer myself up because I am so very ill and haven't been out of the house for a week!
So we have Au Coeur de la Vie, Au Pays des Oiseaux Fleurs, Jardin des Anglais, Mythique Phoenix and Au Mer de la Ciel.

Oh, these are so neat. I've always liked this scarf flat, but struggled with how to tie it. I did know that the letters were made up of fauna, i just never knew how well rendered they are! Very nice HermesNuttyynut
Hey I have this scarf and I never noticed the phoenix. I'm beginning to think that I'm not paying attention.
Thanks for the lesson BostonJestsetSuccess in the search for chickens in my Peuple du Vent!

And a happy discovery -- not only was there a rooster, as I remembered -- the rooster is next to a monkey (2016 was year of the monkey)! Happy Year of the Rooster!

The "O" bird might be a puffin rather than a penguin. The two "F" birds are perhaps falcons, and might the "R" bird be a raven?
This is gorgeous, scarf1! Came very close to buying this design on more than one occasion, but always passed. And every time I see one here, I am very sorry!

HAHA. There are phoenix-like birds on each of the four corner ships. Isn't this a wonderful design? It's one of my faves and my DH who is from China originally [and normally could care less about H lol] gets very excited when I wear the "Chinese boat scarf".

HH, I am sorry to hear what a bad week it has been for you. I hope things improve soon.
I must admit that I always think of you as a blue girl since you look so good in that color. But my goodness, you also look gorgeous in the beautiful red sweater and scarf! Love it on you!!
I went birdwatching this evening 
and found two more birds in archival photos.
There are birds (cranes, perhaps?) in the center of Daimyo...
... and of course there is the big honking crane in Ex Libris en Kimono:
... but the darned crane only shows if the scarf is tied EXACTLY right. This photo is from 2+ years ago, and I've never been able to replicate the look!

Oh, wait! One more!
How could I forget these amazingly detailed parrots (macaws?) on the border of Tous les Bateaux du Monde? They are two handsome dudes!

Ya know BostonJetset in the back of my mind, I knew these were Chinese junks and sampans. I mean, I took 8 years of French, so it's not as if I couldn't read the title. Somehow, I never recognized it as a chinese-themed scarf. Duh. (Eyeroll) Doesn't the phoenix represent rebirth..rising out of the ashes? Well the past week or so have been very eye- opening ..in more ways than one. I find refuge in TPF.
This thread is really therapeutic and educational.
Thanks for your comments! Well, I wish I had your kimonos or tous les bateaux!
DH just asked why I burst out laughing, but I was laughing too hard to explain!
Sorry...long day...needed a laugh....
A fabulous week, everyone!
How about another bird quiz?
