Plate 117 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," showcases the Mississippi Kite, Ictinia mississippiensis, in stunning detail. This exquisite hand-colored aquatint print, engraved and printed by R. Havell (& Son) of London, captures the beauty and grace of this bird of prey native to North America. The Mississippi Kite is perched gracefully on a slender branch, its long, pointed wings folded behind it. Its beak is open, revealing the sharp, hooked tip, a clear indication of its predatory nature. The intricate feather details on the kite's body and wings are masterfully rendered, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill. The Mississippi Kite is a member of the Accipitridae family, order Accipitriformes, and the class Aves, making it a bird of the sauropsida clade. It is native to the United States, specifically in the southeastern states, and is known for its distinctive forked tail and long, broad wings. The Mississippi Kite is a versatile hunter, feeding on a variety of prey including insects, reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals. It is often seen soaring overhead, looking for prey from its vantage point in the sky. This print captures the moment before the hunt, with the kite poised and ready to strike. The intricacy and detail of this print make it a true masterpiece, a testament to the artistry and natural history knowledge of John James Audubon and the skilled craftsmanship of R. Havell (& Son). This beautiful illustration is a must-have for any avian enthusiast, natural history collector, or art lover.
