ORANGE-BREASTED FALCON & GRENADA MORPHO
(2016)
Subject: Orange-breasted Falcon & Grenada Morpho Dimensions (inches): 28 x 18 Medium: acrylic Description: Roughly the size and build of a Peregrine, the ucommon and poorly-understood Orange-breasted Falcon (Falco deiroleucus) is distributed patchily in Central and South America. Although it's rarely seen far from heavy tropical forest, it feeds mostly on birds that are captured above the canopy. It nests in nooks in cliffs adjacent to forests, and probably sometimes in tree cavities. The heavy feet and beak of this species are relatively bigger than those of any other falcon. The Granada Morpho (Morpho granadensis) is one of around 30 members of a butterfly genus well known for the immense and iridescent blue wings of a number of species. Incidental animals in this painting include a Misfit Leaf Frog (Agalychnis saltator) and a young Fraser's Anole (Anolis fraseri).
