Here is a Mandarin I just got mounted up on Friday and is currently drying.  Sorry for the tape and pin's but thought I would share anyway.  Thanks everyone.  Alyssa

I'm not really a bird guy but this is one of the most beautiful mounts I've seen of any animal. It's a true honor to the species.

Really great habitat work Alyssa. Great attention to detail.
