Sky Piercers: Falcons in Artistic Landscapes

Prompt:

Modern Art rusty brown fog covered in silver streaks cause these large swift falcons known as sky piercers to stand out against tropical blue skies, so these agile birds rarely take wing in broad daylight. They hunt most frequently from skies painted by sunrise or sunset, letting their wings blend in with the pinks and oranges, and allowing them to drop down like a bolt from the darkening sky. A bony yellow ridge protrudes in a long spike over a sky piercer’s beak, and the streaks covering its head resemble a furry mohawk from a distance. The falcons stink of death, and their streaks emit clouds of dust with each flap of their wings, sketchbook naturalist journal, pen and ink, detailed.
