Birds of Prey Galore




Sorry it has taken me forever to post something new!  Between moving across the country, enrolling in a natural science illustration program at University of Washington and other changes, I used the extra hour granted today to gather some stuff together that I've been working on lately.  Goes along well with where I'm at now, the city of Seattle, nestled in the mighty Pacific Northwest.  I've lived here on and off since 1995, just moved back after four years in the Big Apple, and though I miss New York City A LOT, it's great to be here too.  Seattle has always been a place I can come back to, and always have, each time with a fresh perspective and a new appreciation.  Especially coming from four years spent in as dense as a city as NYC, I appreciate the towering trees here. 
 


With bald eagles soaring overhead in the city, I wonder also how many owls these pines, firs, spruces and cedars shelter.  

The artwork I post today mostly comes from work I did in September for the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation for an upcoming environmental education booklet on birds of prey.  It was much much fun to do and I learned a lot about these tremendous birds.

Enjoy and happy fall to you!
