A Halcyon is a mythical bird—often said to look like a modern day kingfisher. It breeds on a nest floating in the sea and calms the surrounding waters. There is also an interesting myth that Kingfishers are able to glow in the dark. I just couldn’t resist making a woodcut where the kingfishers are day glo green with a dark blue background.
