Red Shouldered Hawk Audubon Bird of Prey Acrylic Tumbler

This pair of red-shouldered hawks sits perched on a tree branch draped with Spanish moss. These birds of prey may have been the most common species of hawk or falcon in North America in the 1900's. Now, although they are not considered endangered or threatened, there are much fewer of these raptors due to a loss of habitat. Here in Florida, they are still the most common hawk seen. This is Plate 56 of John James Audubon's Birds of America series and you can see the rich colours and patterns on the wings of these majestic birds. This artwork is a stunning reminder of the beauty and power of nature.
