Predatory Birds in Crimson Haze

Prompt:

Modern Art crimson haze covered in dusty black plumes cause these large predatory birds with hooked bills known as shadowfliers to stand out against tropical blue skies, so these carrion 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 shadowflier’s beak, and the feathers covering its head resemble a furry mohawk from a distance. The birds stink of death, and their feathers emit clouds of dust with each flap of their wings, sketchbook naturalist journal, pen and ink, detailed.
