Golden Eagle Art Gallery is pleased to offer an extensive collection of world-renowned artworks by Canadian wildlife artist, Robert Bateman.  World-travelled and well versed, Bateman always tells a great story about each of his creations. Here is what he has to say about this piece: 

"Bird feeders are a recent phenomenon in nature. With the advent of naturalist field guides, due to the great work of Roger Troy Peterson, the population of bird watchers and bird lovers has steadily increased. Bird feeders have made a difference, particularly to seed-eating birds, during the stressful time of winter and may have been a factor in extending the range of the cardinal in the north. Bird populations are under so many other pressures that the extra calories in winter, if administered faithfully, are of overall benefit. And besides, it gives me a great thrill to see a cardinal close at hand."
