The mottled plumage and distinctive feather tufts are beautifully detailed, while the blurred forest background conveys speed and motion. The image reflects both the strength and elegance of one of North America’s most iconic raptors, making it a standout addition to Bruce’s Signature Collection — a celebration of wildlife’s power and presence.
