Artist's Comments


Saker Falcon
Falconry is the subject of some of the oldest Egyptian wall paintings. English playwriter William Shakespeare was a falconry fan who introduced falconry terms into popular speech: the word "Hag" or "Haggard" is the term for a mature wild hawk or falcon.
Horus, an Egyptian god, was a Peregrine falcon: the "Eye of Horus" is clearly a stylized Peregrine falcon's eye.
