About the Bird:听During the summer, Zone-tailed Hawks听soar over the Southwest United States,听where they are often mistaken for Turkey Vultures鈥攂y both birders and prey. As it forages in dry, open country made up of grasslands and chaparral it is poised to retain nearly all of its current range with climate change. Rising temperatures will bring other threats that imperil the bird and its habitat, however, including drought, increased wildfires, and false springs.
About the Artist:听 made his start at the Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio, then went on to receive an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City where he now lives and works. He has exhibited, most notably, at the PPOW Gallery, Mark Moore Gallery, and Takashi Murakami's Gesai听Miami Art Fair. 鈥淚 love the Zone-tailed Hawk because of its striped inner feathers and tail,鈥 he says. 鈥淭hat pattern makes it a strikingly unique bird鈥攐ne I hope will be with us for as long as we all live on this planet.鈥
