We live close to the beautiful Wind River,” Greg remarks. “Bald eagles winter over here, attracted by fish that flourish from the warm springs flowing into it. I’ve studied the birds here and in Alaska and compared notes with a friend who’s an ardent eagle watcher in Washington State.

A uniquely thrilling portrayal. Published from the artist’s original oil painting.
