Dauntless, left side falcon only

The fastest animal on earth, the Peregrine Falcon has a dive called a stoop that can reach speeds of 200 mph. This dynamic representation shows a flight adjustment just before she stoops on her prey. “Dauntless” depicts a raptor that, although having one of the widest distributions on earth, was almost driven to extinction on our continent. Through the sacrifice and love of many falconers and conservationists across the country, the Peregrine Falcon is now a model of successful conservation, integration of nature, and the urban landscape. This sculpture recognizes the dedication of those communities.

This life size cast bronze Falcon is 16" from beak to tail and is just over 26" tip to tip but stands just over 6'-2" on her steel obelisk.
