This is a vintage illustration of two Iceland Falcons. The top falcon is in mid-flight, wings spread wide, displaying a pattern of dark speckles on its white feathers. Its tail has alternating dark and white bands. The lower falcon is perched on a nest, appearing to be feeding or interacting with the one in flight. It is mostly white with a yellow beak and a dark eye. The nest is constructed of twigs and sits on a small mound of dry grass. The background is a solid, dark teal color. The illustration is detailed and appears to be a lithograph or watercolor painting, with a classic, scientific illustration style. The image is labeled 'Iceland or Ger Falcon' at the bottom.
