This rough-legged hawk was released following rehabilitation at WRA. Note the feathers all the way to the toes. "Peaches" was so named for her peach colored underside.

WHO WE ARE

Wildlife Recovery Association is dedicated to promoting the understanding, appreciation and protection of wild raptors and their connection with nature.

WILD IN ART

Wild birds are simply one of the most beautiful parts of nature; it is a pleasure to draw, paint, and sculpt these amazing animals.  Drawing or painting birds requires close observation and insists that the artist know well the features of each bird.  It is an amazing way to learn to identify individual species. It is also a great way to observe and record their behavior.  And, as for most of us, it is just a pleasure to work from the artistic side of the brain.

We challenge any amateur artist (of any age) to submit their work via e-mail – to be posted on this page of our web site.  Teachers can select a few samples of student work.  We look forward to seeing your art!
