EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 142 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," features the American Kestrel, Falco sparverius, in stunning detail. This original double elephant folio print, created between 1831 and 1834, showcases the chestnut-colored bird of prey perched on a branch, intently focused on its prey. The intricate hand-colouring brings out the rich hues of the kestrel's plumage and the textures of its beak and the surrounding foliage. The American Kestrel, a member of the Falconidae family, is the smallest bird of prey in North America. It is an adaptable bird, found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and suburban areas. This eudicot, angiosperm, and Eurosid bird is often seen hunting during the day, making it an interesting contrast to many other birds of prey that are primarily active at night. In this plate, the American Kestrel is shown in the act of eating, with a butter-yellow caterpillar in its beak. The surrounding foliage consists of Fagaceae, specifically the Castanea tree, providing a natural and authentic background to the scene. The engraving, printed, and hand-coloured by R. Havell (& Son) in London, captures the essence of the American Kestrel's beauty and grace, making it a true masterpiece of natural history art.
