Every time I visit Mountsberg Conservation Area, I’m compelled to go get a few sketches of this bird. His name is Conan, and he made his living as an urban predator in Toronto before suffering a permanent wing injury (likely the result of being hit by a car) and ending up at Mountsberg’s raptor centre.
I love those colours and those markings, that stern little falcon face, and that periodic bob of the head while watching something that’s captured his interest.
I try to take him seriously, but cute and fluffy isn’t very convincing.
