The Huntress is an exquisitely executed depiction of a female bald eagle's steadfast search for food for her young.

With piercing eyes locked on her prey, the huntress cants forward preparing to shoot from the sky. she can spot a meal from several hundred yards and strikes so quickly she'll rarely miss.

In The Huntress Michael captures the moment between searching and pouncing as the eagle sizes up her target. Female eagles are usually larger than their mates and share the hunting responsibilities. A pair will usually have from one to three offspring that need nearly constant feeding and attention of their first hundred days.
