Sandstone Bird Coasters: High Quality & High Definition

These fine sandstone coasters protect your furniture and capture the exquisite detail and brilliant colors of our natural subjects. Only the dye sublimation process produces a photo quality image and durable hard surface.  Water beads up beautifully around the base of the glass and does not run off of the edges. Condensation does not absorb into the coaster as with other coasters. Simply wipe excess moisture when finished.  Coasters are 4″ in diameter and 1/4″ thick. Each coaster comes with a cork backing.

Summer Sandstone Coaster Collection includes four original Jim Rathert designs: Bluebird, Cardinal, Goldfinch, & Indigo Blue Bunting featured on a cheerful bright days, surrounded by the full bloom of summer.

The Jim Rathert Winter Sandstone Coaster Collection includes four original Jim Rathert designs: Blue Jay, Bluebird, Cardinal, & Chickadee featured on a brisk shining winter day.

This unique, state-of-the-art process features the highly rated polymer formulation that provides resistance to UV light damage and scratching.  Thess fine grain man-made sandstone is round and has slightly beveled edges.  Each image is baked into the coaster by multi-step process called dye sublimation. This is the only process that provides such detail, rich color and permanence.  A cork disk is placed on bottom to protect fine furniture.  Individually Designed & Printed in the U.S.A.

About the Artist: Jim was a biologist and photographer with Missouri Department of Conservation for more than 30 years . Now retired, he enjoys making useful products featuring his bird photographs. Drawing upon his passion for native birds, Jim creates unique designs using his personal collections of photographs and hand prints each coaster. Each coaster is individually printed by nature photographer Jim Rathert in Missouri. Jim is a bit of a throw-back to an earlier time in that he enjoys doing all steps of the creative process. He takes the photos, creates the coaster designs himself.

Packaged in clear plastic box wrapped with raffia.

Funny Bird Shirts

We think squirrels are hilarious, but we also get a kick out of birds too!  We currently have a variety of silly bird tees along side our vast squirrel shirt collection.

Most recently we’ve added the funny Bird Whisperer shirt which debuted with enthusiastic acclaim this year.

The Bird Whisperer Shirt

A little birdie told a friend, then he told to two friends, and they told two friends, and now the word is out on the Bird Whisperer!  This little guy has a secret and he keep it quiet any more.   Find out what all the chatter is about.  This t-shirt is printed on a 100% cotton, pre-shrunk, heavyweight sand tee. Top quality silk-screen image.

The Bird Whisperer Mug

We also carry the complimentary Bird Whisperer Mug.

The “first ever” buyer of the bird whisperer mug was Sherry Linn from S.W. Canada. She is the current president the North American Bluebird Society.  She travelled to Jefferson City, MO to attend the 7th annual Missouri Bluebird Society meeting.  She liked the bright and cheerful look of the mug which showed two chatty eastern bluebirds.

Quoted from a letter by Sherry Linn, NABS President:

“As the inaugural owner of the first Bird Whisperer mug, let me tell you how much I enjoy it and what a conversation piece it is becoming!!  I am the envy of the gal doing her PhD research on Western Bluebirds and her 2 field assistants!  And my Mom uses her MBS mug every day now and it has replaced her china mug.  I just wish I could have purchased more of those beautiful pieces as I’ve never seen colour quite like what reproduces on those mugs…. I just could not safely pack any more in my carry-on suitcase.”

Bird Whisperer and Squirrel Whisperer were placed in the silent auction and after competitive bidding, sold well over the actual retail price. They made a nice set.

The Bird Whisperer mugs are made with the best materials and printed with a process called dye sublimation to produce the finest and most durable mugs available, “incredibly” microwave and dishwasher safe.  This ensures a mug of lasting beauty and durability.  They withstand years of hard usage and all of them are individually designed and printed in the U.S.A.

The Bird Whisperer Mug

This is a letter from  Sherry Linn, North American Bluebird Sosiety President to Jim Rathert on the Bluebird Bird Whisperer Mug she purchased:

“Hello Jim,

Thank you once again for all you have done for bluebirds and especially the Missouri Bluebird Society.

It was a pleasure to meet you and have the opportunity to sample your beautiful photos and products! It was worth every penny to make the trip to Jefferson City and experience the hospitality of your part of the country.  You can all be proud of the work you do for conservation and the conference was just a small opening of the door into what is happening in your State.

As the inaugural owner of the first Bird Whisperer mug, let me tell you how much I enjoy it and what a conversation piece it is becoming!!  I am the envy of the gal doing her PhD research on Western Bluebirds and her 2 field assistants!  And my Mom uses her MBS mug every day now and it has replaced her china mug.  I just wish I could have purchased more of those beautiful pieces as I’ve never seen colour quite like what reproduces on those mugs…. I just could not safely pack any more in my carry-on suitcase.

Now all I need is for you to travel out my way and photograph some Western and Mountain Bluebirds …

May our paths cross again in our pursuit of finding the beauty and bounty of the natural world and may bluebirds always make you smile in their sheer joy of being alive!

Warmest regards – Sherry

Sherry Linn

Avian Enthusiast Apparel; A Birding Paradigm

What sparks the birder’s passion for the world of birds?

A world embraced by patience, knowledge, enthusiasm, honesty, observation, humility, and thoughtful understanding.  For the sake of birds, they learn to incorporate subtle movements into their careful technic, make time in their schedules for bird walks, reserve special allocations for birding specific equipment, and enthusiastically educate themselves about the details of  bird behaviors & habitats.

The hallmark of bird watching is the art of conceding ones self to the fragile majesty of birds.  This altruistic mindset seems to multiply and manifest its essence through out all aspects of the birding world.

How is it that the most fundamental and profound lessons on cohabitation might be nurtured by the simple act of bird watching?

In tribute to those esteemed avid bird fans, we created a few birder devoted t-shirts.
