Ivory-billed Woodpecker

Ivory-billed Woodpecker
John James Audubon’s Ivory-billed Woodpecker is from The Birds of North America, published between 1827 and 1838. Audubon was a perfectionist and went out into the field to collect specimens to work from in his studio. His work has the clarity and attention to detail that characterize high-quality scientific illustration, as well as the feeling for composition and line quality that characterize fine art.
