I was super excited to hear that this year's charity for Anthrocon was going to be the National Aviary! I've been to the Aviary 4 times and every time it's been a super bird adventure. One year I went while they were having rooftop flighted raptor programs and I had kites zooming right over my head :D It was the best!

So needless to say, I love the Aviary and wanted to be able to contribute something to the charity auction and raffle that Anthrocon has every year, from which all proceeds go directly to the charity. This painting is actually based on a Steller's Sea Eagle and a Bald Eagle that I saw and photographed while at the Aviary, which I feel makes it even more special for this year's raffle and auction.
