BIRDS
AMONG NATURE’S COLOURS: PURPLE MARTIN
Known
for their smooth gliding and morning song, purple martins (Progne subis) are
happy to return time and time again to the nest boxes and birdhouses we put up
for them! This avian “urbanite” is more common in the east than the west; but
wherever it nests, the black-blue songbird is a delightful sight—particularly
on the coin’s reverse, where selective color recreates the beauty of the
martin’s surroundings.
DESIGN
The
reverse design by Canadian artist Derek C. Wicks features a richly detailed,
engraved portrait of a purple martin (Progne subis). Canada’s largest swallow
is viewed from below, its claws firmly gripping a stalk of foxglove (Digitalis
purpurea). Its forked tail and long, slender profile give the martin an elegant
air as it turns its head towards the left side of the coin, as though studying
its surroundings for signs of insect prey. Selective color conveys the soft
glow of a warm summer morning, when the sun’s early rays shine down upon the
pastel-colored tubular flowers that cast a gentle shadow behind them.
