EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a male Green Heron (Butorides virescens) in its vibrant plumage, with two young herons nestled beside him. The intricately detailed illustration is a reproduction of an original ornithological drawing by the renowned naturalist John James Audubon, created for Benjamin Harry Warren's Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania in 1890. The Green Heron, a native of the American continent, is characterized by its bright green and blue back, black wings, and long, S-shaped bill. The male heron is shown with a bold, brown head, while the young herons display the mottled gray and brown coloration typical of juvenile birds. In the background, a Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) perches on a tree branch, its black and white plumage contrasting sharply with the greens and browns of the herons. The Cowbird, a brood parasite, lays its eggs in the nests of other birds, including the Green Heron. This beautiful and educational print offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the United States during the late 19th century.
