There are many unique winds vanes on the North Fork, most are atop church steeples that were erected many years ago. Of those represented four are over two hundred years old and and two of those are from before our country's first Independence Day. They look handmade to me, though I can't be sure. I shot these from several hundred feet away on maximum zoom, hence, some grainyness. I'm linking this post to Sky Watch as one can't look at a vane without seeing the canvas on which it appears.
Sea Gull is not part of the original design.
There's no reason why you can't have fun on the beach in the winter!
