EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor artwork depicts the Australasian Bittern, Matuku Hrepo (Botaurus poiciloptilus), a native bird species endemic to New Zealand and Australia. Painted by the renowned Dutch naturalist artist JG Keulemans for Sir Walter Lawry Buller's "A History of the Birds of New Zealand," this illustration was created in 1888. The Australasian Bittern is a member of the Ardeidae family, which belongs to the larger order of birds known as Pelecaniformes, and the class Sauropsida. The Australasian Bittern is a well-camouflaged marsh bird, with its brown and green plumage providing excellent camouflage among the reeds and rushes. It is characterized by its distinctive forward-pointing crest, long, downward-pointing bill, and cryptic coloration. The bird is an expert ambush predator, using its bill to sense vibrations in the water and strike at its prey with remarkable speed. Keulemans' painting captures the Australasian Bittern in its natural habitat, with its beak open slightly, as if ready to strike. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricately painted feathers, the textured water, and the realistic depiction of the bird's surroundings. This artwork is a testament to the natural beauty and diversity of the avian world and provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history of New Zealand's unique birdlife.
