EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 41: Dendrocitta leucogastra, the White-billed Treepie (Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, 1858, Watercolor from Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous) The White-billed Treepie, Dendrocitta leucogastra, is a striking passerine bird belonging to the family Corvidae. This beautiful watercolor illustration, Plate 41 from Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn's Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous, published in 1858, showcases the bird's intricate anatomy in exquisite detail. The White-billed Treepie is easily identified by its distinctive white bill and long, black tail. Its plumage is a mix of glossy black and chestnut, with a white patch on the back of its neck. The bird's face is adorned with a prominent, dark brow, adding to its expressive appearance. In this illustration, the White-billed Treepie is perched gracefully on a branch, showcasing its anatomical features with precision. Its long, curved beak is perfectly positioned, ready to probe for insects or other food sources. The bird's feathers are rendered in rich, vibrant colors, with each individual barb and barbule meticulously depicted. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a prolific naturalist and artist, known for her detailed and accurate illustrations of birds and other animals. Her work was published in several notable works during the 19th century, including Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous. This illustration, in particular, is a testament to her skill and dedication to capturing the beauty and intricacies of the natural world. The White-billed Treepie is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, and is known for its intelligence and adaptability. It is a common sight in forests and woodlands, and is often seen perched on branches, searching for food or calling out to other members of its flock. This illustration serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the world and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
