In 2000, Rick told the story of The Hawk of Achill:
"An Irish epic inspired this series of images. Fintan and Cessair, Noah's granddaughter, fled the flood to Ireland. They were the first people. Fintan was an Eagle, Falcon and a Salmon. Also known as the Blind One of Assaroe, Fintan lost his eye to the Hawk."
And also in 2000, Rick's observations:
"Around here—the coastal Pacific Northwest—red tail hawks are so thick that I will look up and there’ll be one just looking right down at me. They’re auspicious. They’re eavesdroppers. I think they’re quite special. They are cautionary: warn of impending danger. If I’m about to run across the road and I see one, I start looking around. They remind me to be vigilant."
