Male and female American eels in their silvery migration coats.
The females are much larger than the males.
Made from painted silver lame and the long fins are made from bicycle innertubes.
The eyes are made from champagne bottle silver the sclera and bicycle innertube rubber for the pupils, held together with globs of transparent plastic glue to give it dimension and a glossy, wet eye look.

American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis) Nonbreeding, Potato Creek State Park IN DDZ_0081
Image by NDomer73
The migratory American Goldfinch ranges from southern Canada to North Carolina during the breeding season, and from just south of the Canadian border to Mexico during the winter. Spring males are brilliant yellow and shiny black with a bit of white. Females and all winter birds are more dull, as here. This photo was taken at Potato Creek State Park in north central Indiana, about 12 miles southwest of South Bend.
