- Description (Brief)
- Pinback button with a blue background featuring a color illustration of an American kestrel.
- Emily Robinson, a Northern California artist known for her depictions of insects and wildlife inhabiting the American West, created the illustrations featured on this series of buttons (2019.0150.01-.17). Viewed individually or as a group, her buttons are meant to celebrate the beauty and range of Earth’s biodiversity.
- Jerry Meral purchased the buttons directly from Robinson’s shop, Craft and Quail, in 2018, then donated them to NMAH.
