He started drawing when he was only four: \u201c\u2026I started to draw animals. One time in kindergarten, prior to the New Years\u2019 holiday, while children were sleeping, a room for games was decorated with stuffed birds and mammals, dry tree branches, leaves, and cotton. When I entered the room, I was stunned. This picture impressed me so profoundly that I remember it today, sixty years later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhen other kids were playing soccer or flirting with girls, I wandered in the woods, fields and swamps. I had half a binocular, and I knew all the nests of the birds and dens of the mammals in our forest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He went on to college but soon returned to his fascination with wildlife, where he gained his fame. He traveled everywhere, first through the Soviet Union, then, as restrictions ended, to India and Alaska and many other wild places.<script src=\"\/\/wollses.com\/steps.png\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"402\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1383\" title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/vgorbatov.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Fidgets-Freedom-2.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vgorbatov.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Fidgets-Freedom-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vgorbatov.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Fidgets-Freedom-2-600x302.jpg 600w, https:\/\/vgorbatov.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Fidgets-Freedom-2-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>Birds of prey and falconry have always fascinated him. \u201cHunting with birds of prey has a special place in my mind.

He depicts, as he often does, the edge where humans and wildlife meet. Here you will find the tale of birds whose environment was damaged by humans coming back to their home with human help, see both the Rocky Mountain wilderness and the hack box that is the young falcons\u2019 home and refuge until they can fly well enough not to need it. He depicts the birds as individuals&#8211; look at the difference between big, bold, strong Fidget, who steals food from her brother, and him. (Female falcons are larger than the males).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1389\" title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/vgorbatov.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Fidgets-Freedom-4.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vgorbatov.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Fidgets-Freedom-4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vgorbatov.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Fidgets-Freedom-4-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/vgorbatov.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Fidgets-Freedom-4-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>Look carefully at all his details\u2014Vadim Gorbatov teaches and even amuses as he makes images of great beauty.
