Tawny Thrush

by John James Audubon

Bring the wild grace of early American ornithology right into your own living space with this beautiful reproduction of John James Audubon's Tawny Thrush (Plate 164) from his masterwork, The Birds of America.

Today known by its scientific name of Veery (Catharus Fuscescens), this charming image is typical of Audubon’s style of depicting a lone bird resting on a mossy mound of earth surrounded by natural vegetation, such as the impressive white-flowering fringed orchid. All the fine details have been faithfully reproduced, including the tawny brown feathers and lightly spotted cream breast of the thrush, along with the leaf veins.

A must-have for any collector of vintage bird prints or natural history art.
