One of my very favorite birds is the cardinal which just happens to be the Commonwealth of Virginia state bird. Every year I purchase my Christmas cards from the NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION here in Reston Virginia. I always order Christmas cards from them that have a cardinal on the front of the card. However, since the drawings are copyrighted I can't scan them and show them to you, but the artwork is outstanding.
The National Wildlife Federation supports more than birds, but since elephants and tigers are not allowed in my subdivision I have to settle for birds. As a matter of fact I have completed the requirements to have my backyard become a Certified Wildlife Habitat.
One of the things I like about the Christmas cards is that they are made of recycled material. If you are interested in ecology as I am I reccommend you check out the NWF - they have some interesting and important projects, volunteer opportunities and merchandise. We are pleased they have chosen Northern Virginia as their home base.
