EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured engraving depicts the Common Nighthawk, Chordeiles minor, a captivating nocturnal bird native to North America. The image is taken from Alexander Wilson's seminal work, "American Ornithology," published in 1824. Wilson, an accomplished American ornithologist, dedicated himself to documenting the avian fauna of his native land, producing this exquisite illustration as part of his comprehensive study. The Common Nighthawk is a member of the order Caprimulgiformes, also known as nightjars or goatsuckers. With its distinctive forked tail and broad, flat wings, this bird is perfectly adapted for its nighttime hunting habits. The Common Nighthawk is often mistaken for a bat in flight due to its erratic, fluttering flight pattern. In this illustration, we see a pair of Common Nighthawks in the act of incubating their eggs. The female, with her speckled breast, is shown carefully tending to her eggs, while the male, with his glossy black plumage, stands guard. This tender moment highlights the dedication and nurturing instincts of these fascinating birds. The intricately detailed engraving, hand-coloured with great skill and artistry, captures the essence of the Common Nighthawk and offers a glimpse into the natural history of North America during the 19th century. Wilson's work remains an essential reference for ornithologists and natural history enthusiasts, and this image continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance.
