Colorful Bird of Prey - Falcon Brooch Falcons This soapstone was hand-mined andHere, you encounter the Falcons. Some are perched upon the roofs embellishments, preening their feathers and making chittering sounds to each other. Others are stretching their wings, diving off the roof and then soaring upward.
