This is a small study (3" x 3 1/2") of a peregrine falcon named "Sibley". She's the bird-friend of Kate Davis who runs the Raptors of the Rockies, a non-profit raptor education project here in western Montana.

Kate is quite the artist in her own right and has recently published a wonderful book, Falcons of North America. I had the opportunity to visit with Kate and Sibley while they were in Missoula for the Montana Festival of the Book back on October of 2008. I took a ton of photos while Kate was giving her talk (Why can't they make a near-silent digital SLR camera?!).

This open edition drawing is available an 11"x11" frame size and is printed with archival, pigment-based inks on 100% cotton rag fine art paper.
