EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunningly detailed print depicts Caprimulgus carolinensis, commonly known as Chuck-wills-widow, in the act of feeding on a flower from a Bignonia tree. The bird, a member of the Caprimulgidae family and the Caprimulgiformes order, is shown with its distinctive large, round eyes wide open and its long, decurved beak poised to extract nectar from the flower. The Chuck-wills-widow is a nocturnal bird, making it an intriguing sight to behold in the stillness of the night. The intricately hand-coloured aquatint by R. Havell (& Son) captures every detail of the bird's plumage, from the fine barring on its wings to the delicate feathers on its head. The background is adorned with the vibrant, colourful flowers of the Bignonia tree, a flowering angiosperm belonging to the Bignoniaceae family. The tree's large, showy blossoms provide an essential food source for the Chuck-wills-widow and other nectar-feeding birds. The Chuck-wills-widow is an eudicot, a type of dicotyledon plant that forms part of the Angiospermae, or flowering plants. The bird is a diapsid, meaning it has a single opening in the skull for both the eyes and the ear openings. This print is a testament to the remarkable detail and accuracy of John James Audubon's Birds of America, a groundbreaking work that showcases the natural history of North America's avian species.
