Read the story of John James Audubon and the natural history book that would go on to sell for £7.3 million. Audubon struck up an unlikely friendship with Thomas Bewick during a visit to Newcastle in April 1827. Fantastic blog by our Librarian Ian Bower https://t.co/FF3MifnzjD

Perhaps the most remarkable extinction was that of the Passenger pigeon. This was once the most abundant bird in N. America, numbering >3 billion.
Here it's shown in Audubon's Birds of America. Martha, the last specimen, died in Cincinnati Zoo in 1914.

Today, 8 April, is Draw a Bird Day (@dabday).
To inspire here are some images from Paisley Museum collections, so be like Alexander Wilson, John James Audubon or be inspired by something more local.
I have been reading JJ Audubon's biography ..and I wondered if he ever painted a #crayfish....and sure did! see the burrowing cray on the White Ibis print !! Now here is a challenge for you crayfish taxonomists! What species is it!?? @crayfishguenter @CrayfishIAA
Audubon is supposed to be the inspiration for this. I started doing detailed feathers and quickly decided that wasn't my thing. So I put some textures in and I'm calling it done. #savebuckbeak #harrypotter #fanart
