Default Swallow or Kestrel pattern

I am looking for a TOP view pattern of a swallow or Kestrel swooping down. I have tried carvingpatterns.com and stillerpatterns.com and google.com and can't seem to find a good pattern for the back silhouette pattern. Anyone have one or any other idea where to find one?
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Gene

Default Re: Swallow or Kestrel pattern

Gene,
I just carved a perched barn swallow and initially had trouble finding good photos. Hugh emailed me some good ones and then I found some more at the James Peless photos at pbase.com/jpeless/image 61906530 and www.digital-nature-photography.com/nature/showeng.php and searching for barn swallows.

I've not seen any patterns or photos of them swooping down--just sitting--but then I've not looked. Try these two sites--hope you can find some pictures of the pose you're looking for.

Thanks Donna,

I will check them out and see what I can come up with. Didn't think it would be that hard.

Hi Gene, sent you a couple photos of the back of a live Kestrel. Might be of some help.
