| 22 Dec 2004 | Kristina 'Aryana' Siers | I can say it again and again, as Kerstin: I love these little creatures! A wonderful picture and a wonderful mood!  Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you a lot! I'm confident now that the gift will be appreciated tomorrow..." | |
| 22 Dec 2004 | Kerstin ´kolibri´ Eiben | *first comment forest walk* I so love your little songgriffies =) Hmmm, perhaps some kind of finch... chaffinch? It's a beautiful picture and I like the idea of walking in a forest not knowing about those sweet little creatures.  Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you Kerstin! I bet there are many things like those cuties hidden from our attention when we walk around in the world... To your guess: Nope. No finches. I admit this one is much more tricky than the other one. There are so many grey/brown birds..." | |
| 23 Dec 2004 | Uta ´Freawyn´ Hesse | Oh, I love this! This perspective is spectaculair! hm... what birds? "Eichelhäher" I would say... but I am not sure!  Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you, Uta! Though: nope, no Jaybird (Garrulus glandarius). These here are too grey and the wings have too little black and lack that tiny pattern of blue and black stripes. " | |
| 26 Dec 2004 | Christel 'Kris' Scheja | I am not good in recognizing bird species, but I like the perspective - the little guys watching the humans.  Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "*lol* Can you imagine that these fluffy cuties were perceived as dreadful, ghastly beasts by the family of my boyfriend? And can you imgine my astonishment when I heard this description? ;-)" | |
| 12 Oct 2005 | Sarah E. Horsman | Oh i cant tell the difference between bird species but, as it is a Christmas pic, could they be robins? Oh but i dont think they have red on their wings, but anyway this and all of the other pics in this gallery are beautiful!   Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Nope, they are no robins. This one is quite difficult. I hope I haven't drawn them too badly. On the other hand, they don't show much but their backs..." | |
| 6 Dec 2006 | Martha 'Kestrel' Perotto-Wills | Not redwings!!! I mean waxwings!!! Those ones with the little red dots on the feathers that looks like wax... is that right? sorry about 1st comment, I am feeling dumb today...  Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Hi Martha! No, they are no waxwings. In fact, the songgryphons of other "Secret of the Forest" picture are based on waxwings but not these two fellows. ;-)" | |
| 6 Dec 2006 | Martha 'Kestrel' Perotto-Wills | Are they, uh, whaddaya call'ems, redwings? Probably not... Worth a try. | |
| 18 Jan 2007 | Stephanie H. Gregory | These htings are so cute. They remind me of sparrows. There is a lot of detail in this. I cant wait to see more of these guys.  Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you a lot. Maybe there really needs to be a sparrow-songgryphon species. " | |
