Bird in the Hand
Shawn Connell
October 8 - November 29, 2015
Opening Reception
October 7, 2015
7pm - 10pm
Photographer Shawn Connell spent several years photographing at owl sanctuaries and rehab facilities throughout North America. Since the subjects are “education birds” – non-releasable to the wild due to injury or illness – their familiarity with human contact allowed the artist to gain a deeper connection. Influenced by the beauty and diversity seen in the faces of owls, these portraits shot with a digital Hasselblad camera showcase every detail of the feathers, eyes, and beaks, allowing for unparalleled intimacy with each bird.
Barnaby
from $5,000.00
Description
European barn owls are generally found in open land areas of the British Isles and countries bordering the Mediterranean. Populations are declining severely, with most birds dying within their first two years and very few adult birds living past three to four years. The asymmetrical location of their ears allows them to triangulate sound, and their ability to rely solely on hearing makes them excellent hunters.

Goblin
from $4,200.00
Description
Barn owls are found in open lowlands across the globe, but the scarcity of food and severity of winter weather limits their northern range. The asymmetrical location of their ears allows them to triangulate sound, and their ability to rely solely on hearing makes them excellent hunters. Though not officially classified as endangered by the United States, many states do consider barn owls endangered due the increased loss of nesting sites, predation by larger owls, and vehicle collisions.

Though snowy owls mostly inhabit the arctic regions, they are nomadic, known to follow the lemming and vole populations. When lemming populations crash, they can be seen in the northern United States and southern Canada. Snowy owls have recently become targets of poaching for their eyes and feet, which are traded in Asian markets.
