Bird-lovers say that Wyoming’s Platte River Valley, where artist Dawn Senior-Trask has lived all her life, should instead be called “Raptor Valley“, for its amazing abundance and variety of birds of prey. Dawn and her husband Juel make a yearly float trip downriver in a rubber raft, and are always thrilled to see a pair of bald eagles at a huge nest high in an old cottonwood. The fishing is so good that this pair always raises two, and sometimes three, young to adulthood. Sometimes while Dawn is watching and sketching, a parent eagle will arrive with a large trout, leave it for the other parent to tear up and feed to the fledglings, and fly away to go fishing again.

Another bald eagle family lives where the wild and scenic Encampment River joins the North Platte. This nest is so close to Juel and Dawn’s home that they can see them every day, and observe them adding sticks to the nest; incubating the eggs; coming and going on fishing expeditions; the mother eagle crouched over her eaglets with wings outstretched to protect them from a spring blizzard.

Growing up among both bald and golden eagles made a tremendous impression on Dawn. Especially as a teenager and young woman, and even to this day, she is sometimes blessed with elaborate and vivid dreams -- her Lakota friends have told her they consider them true Eagle Visions -- which are so meaningful to her that she has based a novel-in-progress upon them, as well as numerous pieces of art.
