JOHN JAMES AUDUBON is undoubtedly one of the greatest nature painters and writers in history. I just got through reading Rhodes excellent biography John James Audubon : The Making of an American, which got me interested in obtaining a copy of Birds of America. In the 1830's Audubon also wrote his Ornithological Biography which described the habits of the birds he drew. He interspersed these bird biographies with episodes on life in America during this turbulent period. Audubon originally published the book by subscription.

John James Audubon (born Jean Rabin; April 26, 1785 – January 27, 1851) was an American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. He was notable for his extensive studies documenting all types of American birds and for his detailed illustrations that depicted the birds in their natural habitats. His major work, a color-plate book entitled The Birds of America (1827–1839), is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed. Audubon identified 25 new species.
