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:

"On an evening stroll in Florida a few years ago, I came across this old train station, abandoned and derelict. Egrets regularly feed in a canal that runs nearby. These birds were once as endangered as the passenger train is today.  In the nineteenth century, they were brutally hunted for their plumes. The creation of the Audubon Society was spurred by a group of blue-blooded Boston ladies, outraged by this barbaric practice. The egret in my painting faces north, toward Boston, the birthplace of one of the great forces for wildlife conservation in North America."
