EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 176 of John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," showcases the Canchites canadensis, or the Spruce Grouse, in a captivating hand-coloured aquatint print. This exquisite image, engraved, printed, and coloured by R. Havell (& Son) of London, offers a detailed and lifelike representation of the bird in its natural habitat. The Spruce Grouse, also known as the Falcipennis canadensis, is a native North American bird belonging to the family Phasianidae. This bird is characterized by its distinctive plumage, with a brown body, white underparts, and a striking black and white face. The Spruce Grouse is primarily found in coniferous forests, particularly in areas with an abundance of spruce trees. In this image, a flock of Spruce Grouse is depicted in the midst of a coniferous forest, surrounded by the vibrant greens of the conifers. The birds are shown foraging on the forest floor, likely searching for seeds and fruits, such as those of the Cucumis sativus, or cucumber, which is depicted in the foreground. As an eudicot, the Spruce Grouse is part of the Angiospermae, or flowering plants, and the Cucurbitales, or cucurbit order, which includes the cucumber. The presence of this angiosperm in the image highlights the intricate relationship between birds and the plants in their environment. The Spruce Grouse is a diurnal bird, meaning it is active during the day, and can be found in both the Old and New Worlds. This stunning print captures the essence of the Spruce Grouse in its natural habitat, providing a glimpse into the beauty and complexity of the natural world during daytime hours.
