ON THE HUNT Sculpture

I CHOSE TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION OF AN INMATURE GOSHAWK CAUSE THAT'S WHAT I SAW SKIDDING ON THE ICE CHACING A DUCK THE NORTHERN GOSHAWK IS BIGGER, FIERCER,WILDER RELATIVEOF THE SHARP-SHINNED AND COOPER'S HAWK THAT PROWL SUBURBS AND BACKYARDS.IT'S AN ACCIPITER-A TYPE OF HAWK WITH SHORT, BROAD WINGS AND A LONG RUDDERLIKE TAIL GIVE IT SUPERB AREAL AGILTY. THESE SECRETIVE BIRDS ARE MOSTLY GREY WITH WHITE " eyebrow " STRIPES OVER PIERCING ORANGE TO RED EYES. ( CORNELL LAB OF ORNITALOGY ) The crafting process goes like this. I do a lot of research followed by sketches until the bird is in my head and only then do I start the process that incorporates copper sheet metal and copper wire and is fused together with copper phosphorus rod for brazing.The bird is fully feathered,that's no small task, and to keep it from oxidizing I give it multiple coats of clear lacquer
