Bird Nest Clipart: 19th and Early 20th Century

Did I mention I’m drowning in vintage illustrations?
I’ve been stocking up on antique die-cuts and struck gold with these illustrations ideal for bird nest clipart. Plus, I found egg illustrations for specific species, like the Bulfinch eggs pictured above.

There are a lot of projects you can use these for. Animal flashcards, Easter basket add-ons, dioramas, Valentines, and art assignments are just a few ideas that come to mind.
And before I forget…

*In website housekeeping news: stay on the look out for a new miscellaneous gallery section, master gallery, and revamped holiday galleries in the coming weeks. 
Okay – back to birdies! Here’s a look at four more vintage illustrations of birds, nests, and eggs. And some more freebies I picked up along the way.
