EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a vibrant assembly of Orchard Orioles (Icterus spurius), showcasing the distinct differences between the males and females of this North American songbird species. The image, a replication of an ornithological illustration by the renowned naturalist John James Audubon, was originally published in Benjamin Harry Warren's Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania in 1890 by E.K. Mayers in Harrisburg. The three birds in the foreground are Orchard Orioles. The first and second males are identified by their striking black and orange plumage, with the black mask extending down to their bellies. The third bird is a female, distinguished by her yellowish-olive back, wings, and tail, with a grayish-brown head and wings, and a reddish-orange belly. In the background, two other birds can be seen. The first is a Hairy Woodpecker (Dryobates villosus), identifiable by its black and white striped back and wings, with a red crown and a black and white checkered pattern on its face. The second bird is a Downy Woodpecker (Picoides pubescens), with its black and white striped back and wings, a red crown, and a black stripe running down its back. This 19th-century illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the United States and the meticulous attention to detail of its naturalists. The intricate lithograph, with its vivid colors and lifelike portrayal of the birds, remains a testament to the enduring beauty and importance of ornithology in the study and appreciation of the natural world.
