This collection has 22 free falcon coloring pages — 19 real falcons and hawks, plus 3 pages that turned out to be other birds tagged alongside them. Ten pages are close portraits of a falcon perched on a branch. Nine set the bird in a wider scene, diving, soaring, or standing near water. The other three show a scale-patterned parrot, a pair of finch-like songbirds, and a small perching bird among cherry blossoms — included here because they carry the same tag, described honestly below rather than relabeled as falcons. Every page is black and white on US Letter, downloads as a free PDF, and needs no signup.
Across the nine flight and landscape pages, the wing is never colored in as one flat shape — every primary feather is drawn as its own long line fanning out from the wingtip, all the way down to the wide flight feathers at the tip. None of the flight scenes fill the wing with a single unbroken outline, so a two-tone pencil approach — one shade for the top feathers, a darker one for the underside — reads far closer to a real raptor’s wing than one flat color would.
What’s in this collection
Ten pages perch the falcon on a branch, nine set it in flight or hunting near water, and three are different birds carrying the same tag — 22 in total, in the grid below. Each has its own Download PDF and Print button, so you can take one page instead of the whole set.
Falcons perched on a branch
Ten pages give the falcon a close branch portrait. Four sit against a plain leaf-and-branch background with almost no added scenery. Two are framed by spring blossoms — one behind small pink buds, one behind wide open flowers. Two sit in front of a busy decorative backdrop: one a holiday-style scene with holly leaves, a ribbon and a geometric mountain range, the other a coral-like pattern fill. The last two open onto a plain sky, one with clouds and a hillside, one with barred chest markings against a mountain backdrop.
Falcons in flight and hunting near water
Nine pages set the falcon in a wider landscape instead of a branch portrait. Eight show it in flight: diving over a rainbow-arched waterfall, soaring above swirling ocean waves near a palm-tree island, climbing a misty forest cliffside with its talons reaching out, gliding through a starlit sky over hibiscus flowers, reaching toward a branch framed by cut-out moon and cloud shapes, sailing over ducks paddling on a pond, cutting across a sunlit forest path, and diving low over a lake toward a stand of pine trees. The ninth page stands the falcon on a lakeside rock at sunrise, with a wooden dock in the distance.
Three pages that aren’t falcons
Three pages break from the falcon theme, tagged alongside the rest of the set. One shows a parrot with scalloped, scale-patterned plumage perched on a branch — a short, rounded beak instead of a falcon’s sharp hooked one. Another shows two finch-like songbirds with short, thick conical beaks sitting together among patterned leaves. The third is a small perching bird with a straight, pointed beak framed by cherry blossoms. None of the three have the hooked beak or curved talons that mark every other page in this set.
How to print these
Every page is US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), pure black and white, with the drawing inside the printable margin. Plain copy paper works for the ten branch portraits; the pages with a decorative pattern backdrop or dense feather detail hold up better on heavier paper if you’re using a fine-tip pen instead of a crayon.
FAQ
Are all 22 pages actual falcons?
No — 19 are falcons or hawks. The other three are different birds that share the tag: a parrot with scale-patterned plumage, two finch-like songbirds perched together, and a small perching bird framed by cherry blossoms.
How many pages show a falcon perched versus in flight?
Ten are close portraits of a falcon perched on a branch. Nine set it in a wider scene, in flight or hunting near water. The remaining three are the non-falcon pages.
Which pages are easiest for a young child to color?
The four perched pages with plain leaf-and-branch backgrounds have the least interior detail and the fewest small shapes, making them the fastest to finish in the set.
Can I download all 22 as one file?
Not as a single file. Each page has its own Download PDF button in the grid, which keeps the files small and lets you build your own selection.
