Bald Eagle drawing for the upcoming book Eagles, Hawks & Falcons of the City of New York.

A HAWK FOR THE BUSH

This is the painting which appears opposite p.1 in Musings of an Afghan Falconer by Sirdar Mohamed Osman. It is an immature European Sparrow-hawk, used to epitomise Gulab Chashim, the yellow-eyed birds of prey, or what we in the West call short-wings. It was painted in 2004.
