EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 161 from John James Audubon's monumental work, "Birds of America," showcases the captivating image of a Crested Caracara, or Caracara cheriway (Falconidae, Aves, Falconiformes), in dramatic action as it fiercely grips a branch in its powerful beak. This hand-colored aquatint engraving, created by R. Havell (& Son) in London between 1831 and 1834, offers an intricate and lifelike representation of this intriguing bird of prey. The Caracara, a native of the Americas, is a large, distinctive bird with a crest on its head, giving it an impressive and regal appearance. This raptor is often found in open habitats, such as grasslands and wetlands, and is known for its scavenging and opportunistic feeding habits. In this striking illustration, the Caracara is shown in mid-flight, with its wings outstretched and its sharp eyes focused intently on its prey - a branch clutched firmly in its beak. The intricate details of the feathers, the texture of the bird's skin, and the naturalistic colors bring the Caracara to life, transporting the viewer to the sun-drenched daytime landscapes of its native habitat. The Caracara's beak, curved and hooked, is a testament to its predatory nature, and its keen eyes and agile body make it a formidable hunter. This image captures the essence of the Caracara's fierce and determined spirit, making it a true masterpiece of natural history illustration. Audubon's "Birds of America" is considered one of the greatest achievements in the history of natural history illustration, and this image of the Crested Caracara is a testament to the artist's unwavering dedication to capturing the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
