Guarding the entrance to the Spa Garden at Kingfisher Pacific Resort is this magnificent bald eagle, perched for aerial ascent. No moving creature escapes his notice; with his ability to focus each eye individually he can spot prey up to 2 miles away by way of a unique 340 degree field of view.
This particular specimen is composed completely of local driftwood found by the artist, known as Drifted Creations, who wanders the wind-swept shores of the Pacific Ocean and transforms his findings into striking art forms.
“The most amazing lesson in aerodynamics I ever had was the day I climbed a thermal in a glider at the same time as an eagle. I witnessed, close up, effortlessness and lightness combined with strength, precision and determination.” ~ Norman Foster
