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: 

"The burrowing owl is in a class by itself among the North American owls. It is diurnal, sometimes colonial, and it nests underground. They have very long legs, perhaps an adaptation for hunting in the tall grass and among other prairie plants. Sadly, this wonderful little owl is declining almost everywhere to the point of extinction."
