EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 37 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," showcases the vibrant and intricately detailed illustration of the Northern Flicker, Colaptes auratus. This magnificent avian specimen, a member of the sauropsida class, piciformes order, and picidae family, is depicted in the act of singing, adding a lively and dynamic element to the meticulously hand-coloured aquatint print. The Northern Flicker, also known as the yellow-shafted flicker, is a distinctive woodpecker with a striking yellow plumage on its wings and underparts, contrasting with its black and brown upperparts. The bird is perched on a tree branch, displaying its distinctive beak, which is both an adaptation for foraging and a tool for excavating nesting sites. The Northern Flicker's beak is long and curved, with a distinctly flattened tip, making it an efficient tool for probing the ground for insects and larvae. The Northern Flicker is a social bird, often found in flocks, and is known for its distinctive drumming sound, which can be heard echoing through the forest. Audubon's illustration captures the essence of this fascinating bird, its feathers rendered in rich detail, each stroke of the engraver's tool bringing the Northern Flicker to life. This beautiful print is a testament to the skill and dedication of Audubon and the team at R. Havell (& Son) in London, who produced this masterpiece in the original double elephant folio edition between 1827 and 1830.
