Hooded falcon sketch

This is a hooded falcon I am working on now for the upcoming Eagles, Hawks and Falcons of the City of New York.

HAWKING AT HERONS
This is my newest pencil sketch, in a yet slightly unfinished state, as more loose feathers are still being drawn. It is a sort of study for a Saker on a Houbara, so stay posted for developments.

A BIRD IN HAND
An old pencil drawing I did of Emma Ford with a Peregrine. She and her husband Steve run the British School of Falconry, which is now up in Scotland, after years of being in Stelling Minnis, Kent.

NORTH AMERICAN FALCONS

Above is a quick pencil sketch of the Merlin (Falco columbarius), the American Kestrel (F. sparveruis), and the Peregrine Falcon (F. peregrinus). All three are used in falconry there, where the Kestrel is a bit larger than its European cousin.
