Wild Heartland: Midwest Wings
Wall prints, calendars, planners and other items featuing artwork that celebrates the beauty of the wild birds of the Midwest.
A Note from Artist Paul Turnbaugh
We Midwesterners are blessed with a bounty of beautiful wild birds. From the tiny, colorful hummingbird to the graceful sandhill crane to the awe-inspiring bald eagle, the Midwest is the place to be for bird watching.
I often photograph giant white pelicans on local rivers. Most people don’t realize the numbers of “exotic” birds in the heartland. This collection includes some of my favorite birds found right here in the Midwest.
