EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 408 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," features the captivating image of Forster's Tern, Sterna forsteri, also known as Trudeau's Tern, Sterna trudeaui. This exquisite illustration, part of the original double elephant folio published between 1835 and 1838, is a hand-coloured aquatint engraving produced by R. Havell (& Son) of London. The Forster's Tern is a medium-sized seabird, belonging to the Charadriiformes order and the Sternidae family. Its anatomy is beautifully depicted in this illustration, with its long, slender bill, webbed feet, and distinctive brow. The tern's bill is perfectly adapted for catching fish, with a sharp tip and a hinge that allows it to open wide. Its feet, with their webbed toes, enable the bird to swim efficiently in the water. The Forster's Tern is named after Johann Friedrich Forster, a German naturalist who accompanied Captain James Cook on his second voyage to the Pacific. This tern is often found near cliffs and rocky shores, where it perches during the daytime. The illustration captures the bird's alert and focused expression, with one foot resting on a rock and its head turned towards the viewer. The geomorphology of the Forster's Tern is also evident in this illustration, with its streamlined body and wings adapted for efficient flight. The bird's echinoderm-like feet, a remnant of its evolutionary history, are clearly visible. The echinodermata, a phylum that includes starfish and sea urchins, share certain anatomical features with birds, such as a notochord and segmented body. This stunning illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of Audubon and his team. It provides a valuable record of the Forster's Tern and its anatomy, as well as a glimpse into the natural world of the early 19th century.
