On the ranch, there are both golden eagles and bald eagles.   The golden eagle is the bigger of the two with a 7 foot wing span. Bald eagle hanging out in a tree near the calving barn. Golden eagle perched in a tree.  They lay nests in the high cliff rocks in the canyon above the ranch.

Currently working on bird and floral watercolor paintings and some North American birds like this red tailed hawk. I did something different by adding some painted details to the side of the panel. The painting is available here:  

Currently on my easel... Three Lilac Breasted Rollers with sunny yellow sky.

One of my favorite birds and common here in Northern Illinois, the northern flicker.  A woodpecker that loves wooded areas.  I recently made a commissioned flicker which inspired me to paint this one also.   The lilacs have already come and gone.  But I still have a few photos of them on my phone.  I used this one as inspiration for the painting of the flicker.
