EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 338 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," showcases an intriguing hybrid duck, Anas platyrhynchos x strepera, also known as a mallard x gadwall. This exquisite illustration, hand-coloured aquatint, was engraved, printed, and coloured by R. Havell (& Son) in London between 1835 and 1838. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate plumage patterns, the delicate texture of the feathers, and the lifelike representation of the birds' anatomy. The mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is easily recognizable by its distinctive green head and chest, while the gadwall (Anas strepera) sports a more muted, brownish-gray appearance. In this hybrid, the two species have combined to create a bimaculated duck with the mallard's green head and the gadwall's brown body. The hybrid's feet, webbed and adapted for swimming, are positioned gracefully, while its beak is slightly open, as if it has just taken a bite of food. The hybrid's cheek bears the telltale white stripe, a characteristic feature of the gadwall, while its collar is adorned with the distinctive black and white markings of the mallard. The illustration captures the birds in their daytime habitat, providing a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the Anatidae family, or waterfowl. Audubon's "Birds of America" is a testament to the artist's dedication to documenting the natural world with unparalleled accuracy and beauty. This hybrid mallard x gadwall is just one of the many captivating examples of the diverse avian species that populate our planet.
