N is for "el nido," ñ is for ñandu

This was another tough picture to construct, and again, Andrew's was the best.  Nest in Spanish is "nido," and it's our icon for the letter "ene." It's a masculine word, and it sounds like needle with an o replacing the "le."  The way we put all of this together in imaginative association is to imagine a bird sowing neckties (masculinity) and cheerios (the letter "O") onto his nest with a needle.  Need(le) + O = nido, and the necktie makes it "el nido."  Way to go, Andrew!

Bailey did a great job on the ñandu'.  The mini-ostrich-like ñandu' is in NY sporting the NY letters shaved into its hairdo.  He's also wearing a tie to remind us this is a masculine letter.
