Birds

This owl is gorgeous, and there is no doubt why its called great. This owl is one of the largest owls, measuring 18 to 25 inches and have a wingspan of 3 to 5 feet. It can be easily recognized the tufts that it has on its head, resembling horns, to others it looks like cat ears. Did you know that the female great horned owl is larger than the male.

For me this was a great drawing to work on. For the simple fact that they are my favorite type of bird. They are such incredible animals and stand above other birds for so many reasons. I think i've watched every nature show that has ever been made on owls, they fascinate me. They are not like other birds, let me talk a bit about them so you can understand why its my favorite.

The iconic bald eagle. This incredible creature stands for many things and has inspired courage around the world. Many stories have been told about the bald eagle i find it them so interesting what they represent to different cultures. There is an old legend that all eagles can look straight into the sun. According to the translation of St. Augustine "The sun invigorates the eyes of eagles, but injures our own." Athapaskan have portrayed the eagles as taking away famine from people.
