EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 405 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," showcases the intricately detailed illustration of the Semipalmated Sandpiper (Calidris pusilla). This exquisite hand-colored aquatint print, engraved and printed by R. Havell (& Son) of London, captures the essence of this small wading bird with remarkable precision. The Semipalmated Sandpiper, a member of the Charadriiformes order and the Scolopacidae family, is identified by its distinctive striped appearance, with a brown back, white underparts, and grayish-brown wings and tail. The bird is depicted standing on a sandy shore, holding a shell in its beak, showcasing its agile and poised stance. The intricate feather details, textured water, and naturalistic background further enhance the realism of the illustration. The Semipalmated Sandpiper is named for its semi-webbed feet, which provide extra grip on muddy or sandy surfaces. This image, taken from Audubon's original double elephant folio edition (1835-38), is a testament to the artist's dedication to documenting the natural world. The Semipalmated Sandpiper is a common sight along the shores of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America during the daytime, making this illustration a valuable addition to any collection of avian art or natural history. The Sauropsida order, to which birds belong, is characterized by the presence of a diaphragm and a four-chambered heart, enabling efficient respiration and blood circulation. The Semipalmated Sandpiper, like all birds, is a living example of the remarkable adaptations that have allowed the Sauropsida to evolve and thrive in various habitats across the globe.
