Forty-five migrant songbirds packed into a single flock against a deep teal night sky — yellow warblers, a spotted wood thrush, an orange-breasted oriole, a hummingbird at a spray of green — with a dark hawk among them, hooked beak and all. Charley Harper painted it in 1990, as the numbers of these birds were falling; a thin gold crescent hangs at the top right and palm silhouettes run along the bottom edge.
Harper's shapes are flat and the birds repeat across the flock, so the plain blue between them takes the longest. Finished size 73.6 x 50.8cm.
Bold geometric shapes and strong colour contrasts against a teal background provide clear visual cues despite the stylised minimalist forms.
