EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored aquatint print showcases the Tennessee Warbler, Vermivora peregrina, from Plate 154 of John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America." The meticulously detailed illustration captures the vibrant plumage and distinctive features of this small, agile bird. The Tennessee Warbler is a passerine, or perching bird, belonging to the Parulidae family, specifically the genus Leiothlypis. The bird is depicted perched gracefully on a slender branch, its bright yellow underparts contrasting sharply with its olive-green back and wings. In its beak, a ripe berry from an angiosperm, or flowering plant, is visible, a testament to the Tennessee Warbler's omnivorous diet. The plant species is not clearly identifiable, but it belongs to the family Rosaceae, specifically the subfamily Amygdalidoideae, which includes almonds, peaches, and other fruits. Audubon's masterful depiction of the Tennessee Warbler is a testament to his skill as an artist and naturalist. The print was engraved by Robert Havell & Son in London, and hand-colored using watercolors, adding an additional layer of depth and realism to the image. The intricate details of the bird's feathers, the texture of the branch, and the lifelike quality of the berry all contribute to a captivating and accurate representation of this beautiful bird species. The Tennessee Warbler is a migratory bird, and its range extends from Canada to Central America. It is an important member of the eurosids, a large group of flowering plants, and the fabids, a large group of plants in the order Fabales. The Tennessee Warbler's scientific name, Leiothlypis peregrina, reflects its status as a wandering or migratory bird. This exquisite print is a reminder of the intricate connections between birds and the plants they rely on for food and habitat.
