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:

"'Is it a hairy or a downy?' I couldn't count all of the times I've asked myself that question. To be sure, it is always best to get a glimpse of the outer tail feathers. The hairy has clear, white feathers while the downy has a few black marks. Paying attention to particularity in nature is a good thing in my opinion. And the birds are a good place to start."
