"Discover the Fascinating World of Crax: Rare and Curious Birds" Immerse yourself in the captivating beauty of Crax, a diverse genus of birds that includes some truly remarkable species. From the majestic Great curassow (Crax rubra) found in Costa Rica to the endangered Horned currasow (Pauxi unicornis), each bird within this group possesses its own unique charm. Feast your eyes on a handcoloured copperplate engraving by Matilda Hayes, showcasing a female Great curassow with intricate details from William Hayes' Portraits of Rare and Curious Birds. This vulnerable species is truly a sight to behold. Another stunning illustration by William Hayes depicts the endangered Cushew (Crax pauxi), known for its distinctive horn-like crest. The delicate engravings bring out every feather's texture, highlighting their rarity and vulnerability. The male Yellow-knobbed curassow (Crax daubentoni) takes center stage in an enchanting artwork created by C. Hayes. With its near threatened status, this bird reminds us of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures. Venturing into Brazil's Northern Pantanal region, we encounter the striking Male Bare-faced Curassow (Crax fasciolata). Its presence near Araras Lodge serves as a testament to nature's wonders and our responsibility to preserve them. At La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica, witness a pair of Great curassows gracefully roaming their natural habitat. These birds symbolize resilience amidst challenges faced by vulnerable species worldwide. Intriguingly paired with Grey-winged trumpeters or western tragopans, Great curassows continue to captivate our imagination through their interactions with other avian companions. Uncover more treasures as you explore various combinations such as Great curassows alongside southern helmeted curassows or Kalij pheasants and guans. The diversity within the Crax genus is truly awe-inspiring.
