Hi flock!

Yesterday I received the remaining pictures of the pins, most of which have now finished production and are being packed for shipping. Yay!

Unfortunately the bufflehead pin needs to be remade. I missed some errors on the proof (my fault) which resulted in the wrong colors being used on the pin. It's still cute, but the color of the water now doesn't match with my other water bird pins, and I intended the back to be darker grey. 

We also got the final grackle and hummingbirds samples. I think these look great!

And here are the others that were missing pictures, but have now finished production: 

Timeline:
I'm expecting to receive the bulk of the pins in 2-3 weeks, with the exception of the bufflehead remake and some add-on pins that are being restocked (pigeon, barn owl). Unfortunately this coincides with the arrival of the final batch of plushies belonging to my budgie & cockatiel project. Those backers have been waiting for a good while, so I'd really like to get those out first.
For now my conservative estimate is that we will start shipping in August, but I'll have a better estimate once the pins are in hand and once the plushie backerkit has been wrapped up. I'll write another update when the pins have arrived!

Thank you again and talk to you soon!
