A peregrine, a kestrel and a gyrfalcon

Most sheets show a peregrine falcon: black head, blue back, white chest with black bars. The Hovering kestrel is the orange one with blue wings, and the White gyrfalcon is white with black flecks on a brown rock.

Every sheet leaves some paper white

No easy sheet colors all 144 squares: a chest, a belly, a chick's down or the sky stays white. The Falcon on a glove colors the most, 133, and the Falcon in flight the fewest, 68, with 3 crayons: black, yellow and blue.

  • Yellow and black are in all 8 easy keys, and red is in none.
