EDITORS COMMENTS
Parabuteo unicinctus, also known as the Harris Hawk, is a remarkable bird of prey native to the Americas. This stunning illustration of a Harris Hawk, Plate 392 from John James Audubon's iconic work "Birds of America," showcases the beauty and intricate details of this raptor in exquisite detail. The Harris Hawk is a medium-sized accipitriforme, with a distinctive red rump and long, broad wings. In this illustration, the Harris Hawk is perched gracefully on a branch, its sharp, hooked beak focused intently on its prey. The artist has expertly captured the texture of the Harris Hawk's feathers, from the intricate patterns on its wings to the subtle variations in color on its body. The hand-colouring adds an additional layer of depth and realism, bringing the Harris Hawk to life. The Harris Hawk is a social bird, often hunting in groups, and is known for its agility and intelligence. This illustration is a testament to the artistry and naturalistic observation of John James Audubon and the skilled craftsmanship of the engravers and colourists at R. Havell & Son in London. The Harris Hawk remains an iconic symbol of the natural world and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the avian kingdom.
