Snowy Owl by Robert Bateman

Snowy Owl by Robert Bateman

 

Published in 1994 as an Original lithograph printed in two colors and enhanced with hand-coloring.

 

"The snowy owl is the most famous bird of the Far North, and it is my favorite. Since my boyhood birding days, I have seen snowy owls during their winter sojourn in southern Canada. The sightings of each snowy owl was so special that I can remember almost every one. This original hand-colored print depicts a female of the species. She has stronger black markings which, of course, give her better camouflage when she sits on her tundra nest." - R. Bateman
