Description
Photographic artwork by Dawn Currie – Portrait of a Short-tailed Hawk, part of Winged Ambassadors Portfolio. This portfolio is in honor of our Winged Ambassadors, rescued birds that must remain in captivity due to injuries or imprinting on humans. Now they serve to educate the public regarding what we can do to protect our wildlife. As a nature photographer and wildlife rehab volunteer, these birds hold a special place in my heart. Completed as a fundraiser, I strove to capture portraits that celebrated their unique beauty. A portion of all proceeds will go to the Florida Wildlife Hospital and Sanctuary in Palm Shores, Florida and to the Avian Reconditioning Center in Apopka, Florida.
