Product Details

The Center for Disease Control has recommended the use of cloth face masks to help fight the spread of COVID-19.

This face mask is made from 100% polyester and includes two ear loops with adjustable grommets for a comfortable fit.

The printed area of the mask is approximately 7" wide by 5" tall.   This mask fits well on adult mens' faces without the grommets but, due to the adjustable grommets, can be worn snuggly by adult women, as well.

Please note - this is NOT a surgical grade mask. It is not intended for any medical or commercial uses, whatsoever. It is a simple, cloth mask designed for everyday use to cover your mouth when out in public. The mask should not be used in any medical or surgical setting.

We make no warranties that the mask prevents infections or the transmission of viruses or diseases.

Artist's Description

I saw this odd looking little songbird near the Dragoon Mountains (near the Cochise Stronghold) in Arizona. I contacted the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to identify this bird. They told me: In rare cases, a bird does not produce melanin at a normal level or in a normal pattern. The resulting color patterns are referred to as being albino (all white, no melanin), leucistic (patches of pure white, limited melanin production), or with dilute plumage. Your bird has the characteristic white patches of leucism in addition to slightly diluted plumage (lighter gray-brown on the back and breast than a typical Dark-eyed Junco). The lighter beak and legs are also caused by the limited melanin production associated with leucism.

When birds produce too much melanin, they are referred to as melanistic. In addition to a genetic mutation, the unusual color patterns can be the result of injury or poor nutrition.
