Birds Of Prey
by Cory Carlson

"The grandeur and austere beauty of the Grand canyon is among the most magnificent vistas in the world. After a recent visit to the Grand Canyon I was inspired to portray this incredible view.

While searching for the appropriate animal to paint in such a scene, I witnessed an eagle soaring proudly overhead, and my question was answered. The steep canyon cliffs are favorite hunting grounds of these majestic birds. The golden eagle is the most formidable raptor in North America. "
