California Red Tailed Hawk Bird of Prey Original Oil Painting Wall Art 12"x16"

"California Bird of Prey" original oil painting is painted with a palette knife and a brush and is 100% hand painted. Red-tailed Hawk is a common bird in Northern California. The most interesting fact for me about them is that their couples are experts at co-parenting. They build their nest together with sticks and leafy branches, often in a tree, but sometimes on a cliff ledge or building. The pair shares duties incubating their eggs for 28 to 35 days—though the female is usually the one sitting on the nest, while the male hunts. Once chicks are born, this division of labor continues: The male hawk catches prey and delivers it to the female, who feeds it to the young in small pieces. All sides are painted. The signature is available on the front and back of the painting.
