[obol] "Chestnut-backed Chickadees in Douglas Fir", a watercolor by Larry McQueen, offered by OFO

[david tracy]

Here is a link that should work to view the ebay site for OFO's  
auction of the Larry McQueen artwork.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? 
ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:31&item=290142480943

If you are viewing this message on Jack Siler's website  
www.birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/obol then you will need to  
unscramble the characters a bit to make the URL work.  For those  
folks an easier way to get there is to go to ebay's home page at  
http://www.ebay.com/ and enter item # 290142480943 into the search box.

Feel free to contact me directly if you need any assistance.
