Meet the Ferruginous Hawk! was created by Jim Wright
A FRAMED study of a Ferruginous Hawk feeding two of its chicks is included in a sale to be held in Lincolnshire next week.
It should attract lively bidding both in its own right and because it has been painted by one of the United States' leading wildlife artists, Albert Earl Gilbert.
On the downside, he did not paint the birds in the field - that is, at the nest site in Colorado - but based his undated work on a photograph by A.M. Bailey.
How Lot 413 came to be in the hands of Louth auction house John Taylors is something of a mystery.
The sale is being held next Tuesday February 4, starting at 10am.
As of close of play today, January 29, there has been just one online bid - a modest £2.
Also going under the hammer are other items of ornithological interest including a stuffed barn owl, a (somewhat battered) pair of 10x50 binoculars and a brass telescope.
