EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts an American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) in its regal splendor, perched atop a tree branch, while two brown-headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater), a female and a male, forage on the ground below. The intricate details of the birds' plumage are beautifully rendered in this 19th-century ornithological illustration by John James Audubon, as featured in Benjamin Harry Warren's Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania, published by E.K. Mayers in Harrisburg in 1890. The American crow, a common bird found throughout North America, is known for its distinctive call and intelligence. Its glossy black feathers and distinctive, short, curved beak are on full display in this stunning representation. Brown-headed cowbirds, on the other hand, are intruder birds that lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, relying on the host species to raise their young. The female cowbird is depicted in this illustration with her reddish-brown head and black wings, while the male's glossy black plumage and distinctive white patches on his wings are also clearly visible. The red-breasted nuthatch (Sitta canadensis), a small, active bird, can be seen clinging to the tree trunk in the background, while a female purple martin (Progne subis) rests on a nearby branch. The intricate details of each bird's plumage and behavior are captured in this exquisite work of art, making it a must-have for any ornithology enthusiast or collector of historical prints.
