EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 33: Hemipus picatus, the Bar-winged Flycatcher-Shrike, is depicted in this stunning watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her comprehensive work "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," published in 1858. The Bar-winged Flycatcher-Shrike is a passerine bird belonging to the Laniidae family, known for its distinctive long, curved bill and hooded appearance. This bird is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, and is characterized by its long, grey breast, barred wings, and prominent white eye-ring. The bird in this illustration is perched confidently on a branch, showcasing its anatomy in intricate detail. Cockburn's skillful use of watercolor creates a lifelike image, with the Bar-winged Flycatcher-Shrike's feathers appearing textured and realistic. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the bird's long, slender legs and the intricacies of its beak. This illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of the Bar-winged Flycatcher-Shrike during the 19th century. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a prolific artist and naturalist, and her work continues to be an invaluable resource for ornithologists and bird enthusiasts today. The Bar-winged Flycatcher-Shrike remains a fascinating and beautiful bird, with its unique combination of flycatcher and shrike characteristics making it a standout member of the avian world.
