EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor artwork by the renowned Dutch naturalist artist JG Keulemans, featured in Sir Walter Lawry Buller's "A History of the Birds of New Zealand," Vol.3 Plate 46, dates back to 1888. The illustration showcases two exquisite waterfowl species native to New Zealand: the Blue Duck or Whio (Hymenolaimus malacorhynchos) and the New Zealand Scaup or Papango (Aythya novaeseelandiae). The Blue Duck, with its distinctive blue-green iridescent plumage, is one of New Zealand's most endangered birds, with an estimated population of only 2,500-3,000 individuals. The Blue Duck is a dabbling duck, which means it feeds by tipping its head back and upending itself in the water to reach the bottom for food. The New Zealand Scaup or Papango, on the other hand, is a diving duck that can be found in both freshwater and brackish water environments. The male New Zealand Scaup is easily recognizable by its distinctive black and white plumage, while the female is more subtly colored. Both species are members of the Anatidae family, which is part of the Anseriformes order, and belong to the class Aves, or birds. Keulemans' meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of color bring these birds to life in this historical artwork, providing a glimpse into the natural history of New Zealand's avian diversity.
