| "Pursuit" Peregrine Falcon with Rock Pigeons, watercolor © Beatrice Bork |
"Pursuit" is the image I selected for the postcard for my upcoming exhibit "Habitat Inhabitants", I feel this particularly fits our theme of co-existance. I have long had the fascination with the idea that some animals are real survivalists, and while pigeons are well known for this, being "city birds"—I really wanted to focus on the
peregrine falcon here. With the help of conservation efforts it has really made a remarkable recovery (back from DDT pesticide poisoning), and can now be seen adapting very well to habitats such as in cities like Philadelphia that I've chosen for the backdrop for the painting.
