Artist's notes:

peregrine falcon thumb This is one of the first birds of prey I had drawn. Falcons are very cool birds and I love their coloring. The original line art drawing was done about 1998, and the color was added in 2007. I have recently completed another drawing of the Peregrine Falcon in horizontal format with the wings out. I will be posting it soon.

Information about the Peregrine Falcon:

Peregrine Falcons are found worldwide, except for rainforests and arctic regions. They prefer open habitats, such as grasslands, tundra, and meadows. These falcons are determined hunters that fly at high altitudes and often dive on their prey at very high speeds. They mostly feed on birds they catch in mid-air including pigeons and ducks. Like all falcons, peregrines have long, tapered wings and a slim, short tail. They are roughly crow sized, growing to about 15 inches in length with a 40-inch wingspan. The Peregrine is the official state raptor of Idaho.
