oil on canvas 18x24 cm - 7x9 inches
This is a small and common falcon in my country, Argentina. It is characterized by "hawking", that is, staying for some time in the air in one place, flapping vigorously, while locating its prey on the ground, on which it rushes to capture them. It feeds on rodents, insects, reptiles, and sometimes other birds. It does not build a nest, and it puts up to five beige eggs with reddish spots, in holes located in trees, ravines or human constructions. It seems to me a beautiful example, that's why I paint it!
Thank you very much for watching my artwoks !!!!
