I can't do a feature on #birds without mentioning John J. Audubon’s 'Birds of America'. Around 1820, Audubon declared his intention to paint every bird in North America.
This is 'Mocking Bird' (plate 21)

Las aves de América🐦

Allí creó un sinfín de ilustraciones de aves locales, publicadas en Reino Unido en el libro «Las aves de América» (1827), que incluso muestra aves ya extintas🔁
