EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 34 from Archibald Thorburn's second edition of British Birds, Vol. 1 (1925) showcases the captivating beauty of the Bohemian Waxwing, Bombycilla garrulus (also known as Ampelis garrulus or the Bohemian waxwing or Bohemian chatterer). This exquisitely detailed illustration highlights the distinctive features of this intriguing bird, a member of the Bombycillidae family and the order of Passeriformes, specifically the suborder of Corvida. The Bohemian Waxwing is easily recognizable by its crest, brown plumage, distinctive black and yellow bib, and the vibrant red tips on its secondary wing feathers. The bird perches gracefully on a branch, its beak delicately poised as if in search of the ripe berries that form a significant part of its diet. The Bohemian Waxwing is an angiosperm specialist, preferring to feed on the fruits of dicotyledonous plants, such as rowan, hawthorn, and dogwood. This stunning illustration, created in the 19th century by renowned British naturalist and artist Archibald Thorburn, provides an unparalleled glimpse into the anatomy and natural history of this fascinating bird. The meticulous attention to detail and lifelike quality of the illustration make it a must-have for ornithology enthusiasts and art collectors alike. The Bohemian Waxwing is a migratory bird, traveling from its northern breeding grounds to southern regions during the daytime to spend the winter months. Its common name, "chatterer," comes from its distinctive vocalizations, which can be heard during the breeding season. This image is a testament to the beauty and wonder of the natural world and the enduring legacy of Archibald Thorburn's work in documenting it.
