Inspired by SCWF's mission, he earned his Palmetto Pro Birder certification, and has led bird walks for SCWF as well as Saluda Shoals Park, Columbia Audubon, and private organizations. Even when he is golfing, hunting, or fishing, he is secretly birding. At SCWF, Jay coordinates the Wildlife and Industry Together (WAIT) program leads birding classes for the Palmetto Pro Birder & Midlands Master Naturalist programs. He has a passion and love for all wildlife and hopes to inspire others to take a closer look at the life within our amazing planet.

Cardinal Print - Chelle Fazal
$20Do you love bird art? Well check out this beautiful Archival print of a painting of cardinals!!
This art piece "All the Single Ladies" is a Limited Edition Print on Archival Paper by Charleston Artist Chelle Fazal.
Ready to be framed!
Size: 11" x 14"
As a child, Chelle would spend hours watching animal nature shows. How they lived, ate, acted, and socialized fascinated her. The day her step-father gave her a set of colored pencils was the day she began trying to duplicate those animals on paper. Without her knowledge, the small gift he had given her was the key to unlocking an untapped passion for art.
Her love for art continued into Middle School and High School where she learned to draw with charcoal and pastels. Later on she would graduate into experimenting with paints, both acrylics and oils. It was not until she married that Chelle started painting seriously, seeking to bring personality and individuality into each piece she created.
On a mission trip to Sri Lanka, Chelle was inspired once again as she took photos of elephants at an elephant orphanage. After a two year wait, due to work and raising children, those same photos became the reference points for some of her most recent works.
Chelle lives in Charleston, SC with her husband, Mahmood, and her two sons, Evan and Julian. She professes that Mahmood has been her greatest challenger and encourager. No work is complete until she has received his feedback and they agree together on the finished piece.
"I want my animal paintings to tell a story; but mainly, I want to communicate joy in all my work."

Attracting Birds, Butterflies, and other Backyard Wildlife will show you how to fill your yard or garden with the sights and sounds of nature. In this bestselling book, Naturalist David Mizejewski uncovers the basic elements of habitat you can provide that the local birds, butterflies, bees, and a whole host of other wonderful wildlife neighbors need for survival.
Eastern Bluebirds begin looking for nesting sites in South Carolina in early February. Bluebirds prefer an open area, as they like to sit on the top of the box and look in all directions. Boxes should face the morning sun, and be at least 300 ft apart. Bluebirds will nest 2-3 times during a season, so be sure to clean out the nesting material after fledglings have left the nest. A single screw can be removed from these boxes for easy cleaning.
It is very important to take measures to keep predators away from the nest. Boxes should be mounted on a metal pole so that the entrance hole is 5 ft from the ground.

Wood Duck Nesting Box
$60Female Wood ducks typically build their nests in tree cavities near wetlands. When a prospective cavity is found, a hen wood duck will land in the tree and carefully inspect the site for a variety of characteristics, including size, shape and security from predators and the elements. In many areas, wood ducks have difficulty finding suitable natural nesting sites. Wood duck boxes provide a man-made alternative, where hens can nest in relative safety from predators. The deployment of large numbers of nesting boxes can be used to help increase local or regional populations of wood ducks in areas where natural cavities are limited.
This wooden box is 9" x 25", and attached to a 9" x 31" backing piece. ready for mounting to a post.
