Birdie bites and beverages
I recently became aware of Blue Wing Saloon & Cafe, which serves Blue Wing wines. At the grocery store, I see bottles of Little Penguin, Duck Pond Cellars and Ravenswood wines. Do you know of other eateries and liquid consumables with avian-oriented names and artwork? Would you recommend them to other birders?

Then there's the Smoking Loon line of wines, the label of which features a loon with a cigar in it's bill and a great little poem on the back. I've not been able to find a decent image of the label online. I thought I blogged about this wine a while back, but I can't find it, so apparently I didn't.
I've also tried organic pancakes and maple syrup from Great River Milling (online at http://www.greatrivermilling.com), whole labels feature a neat outline of a Great Blue Heron.
I also have a can of New England Clam Chowder manufactured by the Olde Cape Cod Foods that has a label featuring shorebirds on a coastal mudflat.
There are lots of neat products and labels out there waiting to be discovered.
I used to be a big fan of Red-tail Ale, soley because it had a red-tailed hawk on the label.
Cool! Thanks for the comments!
Now that you mention it, I've seen the Smoking Loon wines but not the other products. Wondering if they're regional items that aren't distributed in SoCal.
Might be fun to turn this into a scavenger hunt.
An online scavenger hunt for everday products with bird names or labels--that would be great fun! Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten the Oral-B Hummingbird?
there was a Cafe Sparrow in Aptos, CA but I never got a chance to eat there... Maybe I'll try it next time I'm up in the area. Agreed on the Red-tail Ale and Smoking Loon. Mendocino Brewing Co. (makers of red-tail ale) also have Black Hawk Stout, Peregrine Golden Ale and Blue Heron Pale Ale, all delicious =)
