Rigaud artist Gérard Fuentes will be taking part in the upcoming World Bird Carving Championship in Ocean City, Maryland April 22 to April 24 and among his submissions will be this piece depicting a male and female Baltimore oriole. He has previously taken first place honours at the Championnats du Québec de Sculpture d’oiseaux in 2012 with a sculpture of an American kestrel. Good luck Gérard!
