Harris's Woodpecker)
John James Audubon's "Harris's Woodpecker" lithograph, plate 261 from his "Birds of America," portrays the vibrant beauty of this woodpecker species. A male and female Harris's Woodpecker perch on a dead branch, their crimson crests contrasting sharply with the black and white barring of their plumage. Audubon's keen eye for detail captures the textural quality of the feathers, the sharp glint in their eyes, and the strength of their claws gripping the bark. The background hints at a wintry landscape, with a few bare branches and a muted sky, allowing the vibrant plumage of the Harris's Woodpecker to take center stage. This lithograph exemplifies Audubon's artistic skill in portraying the grandeur and intricate details of the natural world.
