Puzzle: Virginia's Nest

Finally, I do a puzzle 1 to 1000 without having to hunt stray pieces. Yay. Nope. Still lost a piece but Minor found it. I didn't even notice, but the hole was there in the original photograph. I get the Nigel Bruce award for observation today. Virginia's Nest. 1000 pieces. Charles Wysocki. Buffalo Games. My sister sent me a gift card for puzzles so I'm going to shop for something different.
