Picture Stories #256 - Another Stone Bird

in #photography5 years ago (edited)

I had shared about the stone bird that I had encountered during my travels in my previous post. It was at a botanical garden in Singapore and there were 3 of them. Pictured below is the 2nd one from the 3 different stone sculptures, and unfortunately I wasn't able to identify this one either.

This is a little different than the previous bird, and has some intricate details. It looks a little bit like a falcon to me, but I'm not sure.

Do you have a guess what bird this could be - a 100% upvote for the best guess with explanation!

Thank you for reading!

Hmm.. that's a tough one. I think you are on the right track calling it a falcon - definitely one of the birds of prey. Best known peregrine falcon has such white-grey feathers, but it has grey, not black, beak and distinct "helmet".

Hen harrier has white-grey feathers everywhere, including top of the head, but it has yellow beak.

Praire falcon maybe? Still yellow accents that are missing on the sculpture but it is the closest one I could find.
