EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a pair of Belted Kingfishers, Megaceryle alcyon, in their vibrant plumage. The male, with its distinctive belted band and bright red head, gazes intently from the left side of the image. The female, with her more subdued coloration, perches on a branch next to him, her head turned towards him in a sign of affection. The intricate details of their feathers are beautifully captured in this ornithological illustration, which was created by John James Audubon and published in Benjamin Harry Warren's Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania in 1890. The Belted Kingfisher is a large, powerful bird that is commonly found near bodies of water in North and Central America. They are known for their distinctive rattling call and their unique hunting method, which involves perching on a branch or other vantage point and then diving into the water to catch fish with their sharp beaks. This print offers a glimpse into the natural world of the late 19th century, and serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the avian species that inhabit our planet.
